Observer II Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just watched a docu-drama on Blaze Channel, titled "Barbarians Rising". The episode dealt with the history of Hannibal, possibly the greatest General in history; but he was depicted as a Negro. Now we know Carthage was in current Tunisia, which is in North Africa, not Sub-Saharan Africa. The Carthaginians owed their origins to the Phonecians, who originated in Syria, which would suggest a M/Eastern depiction of the great General. This was evidently a US production, with comments from several black Americans, including Jesse Jackson. One, suggested that Rome enslaved peoples, which they did; but suggested that Carthage didn't, which I find suspect. So I made a point of viewing the credits, and there it was "#blacklivesmatter"; So, whilst a good programme overall, the woke revisionism spoilt it; and indicates the kind of history being taught today. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well it fits the "Whippiple and orangeman bad" narrative so should be eligible for the new PC Oscars and other such awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
