Cleopatra's show on Netflix has caused a lot of indignation in Egypt and a lot of stupid comments from Mexican intolerants. But do you know something about #whitewashing on TV and Cinema? Check this thread out!

People are angry against Netflix because they want to see a real Macedonian from -30 BCE on TV. In their mind, Elizabeth Taylor, an Anglosaxon British American actress, is a perfect depiction. Who knows why!

Here I will show that depicting a brown/black/yellow character as a white/blond person is acceptable (most of the time), but the other way around, it is not.

1/ 2021 - Glen Youngkin gets elected Governor of Virginia running on critical race theory. #GlennYoungkin #CRT #Virginia

3/ All this when #CRT was not even being taught and #Virginia schools and the hotline was quietly shut down for lack of tips. #GovernorVA #Virginia businessinsider.com/virginia-gover…

#Nazi-whitewashing is running wild.

Here, the "Black Sun" (Sonnenrad) being openly paraded before millions:

"But is an old Hindu symbol"
Is NOT
But even “if” what matters is that the Black Sun is used today by neo #Nazi and #Satanist cults (like O9A)
For them the Black Sun represents the 666 number (6 times the double SS sig rune), linked with the “baphomet” concept.

As @PelmeniPusha wrote "Guess where you could buy a cup of NaZZi coffee? If you guessed #Ukraine, you were RIGHT!"
Not only that, this coffeeshop is located in a former synagogue. (Chernivtsi, Synagogue St. 31)

Ich weiß nicht, ob es ein Twitteralgorithmus ist oder einfach das fehlende Interesse an diesem Thema. In regelmäßigen Abständen kommen (auch oft von mir) Cover-Vergleiche.

Dit kenn wa schon allet. Wozu n Aufschrei?
Außerdem gibbet ja schon Cover mit Schwarzen druf, genügt doch.

Und während die Cover mit Schwarzen Personen aufgezählt werden, scheint außer Acht gelassen zu werden, dass es sich bei diesen Titeln um #afrofuturism handelt. Afrozentrische Geschichten mit regionalen Folktales und/oder Historie. Da wäre es wirklich etwas seltsam, #whitewashing

zu betreiben.

Außerdem kann man auf diese Art dem Buch einem Stempel aufdrücken. Zack, das ist dieses Afrozeug. Kommt neben den Aufsteller mit Herkunfts-Struggel-Storys und kulturelle trauma porn? Während "normale" Bücher "normale" Cover bekommen?
