@Marlonkesler11 @scemochetwitta @RealHellenist That man is European or mixed with European. Why are you people being dense?

@alythedon @scemochetwitta @RealHellenist ??

Diversity of Europeans

@Marlonkesler11 @scemochetwitta @RealHellenist No they don’t…

@scemochetwitta @RealHellenist Arabs can even look Nordic please STFU

@Josue41923365 @TheMightyZ2 No, they’re mad at black people in fantasy 😂

@TheMightyZ2 People aren't mad at the existence of black people in fantasy, they're mad at the requirement of black people as props in art in order to be considered for an Oscar

People who get mad at the existence of Black people in fantasy are always so funny to me. They'll start bringing up historical accuracy about medieval Europe in stories where Europe doesn't even exist.

@Goaterino1 @truthfinderyou @TheMightyZ2 It looks like neither of you realize what almost everyone has always known. History was white washed, almost no one looked like how they’re painted by Europeans because they painted everyone outside of europe to look like themselves. Especially with mythological figures.

@truthfinderyou @TheMightyZ2 No because im not African and it doesn't interest me. But in a hypothetical scenario, it seems pretty easy to understand what kind of receptions it would get from africans with a white cast, so it just seems like these people just pretend to not understand.

@AlbanHyka4 @QuenL2K @agraybee She hatched from an egg….. Homer wanted listeners to visualize her in their own way. If you see her as white just stop b*txhing that others don’t, idiot. Anyways, that’s how 🤭

@alythedon @QuenL2K @agraybee How did he leave her the ethnicity for interpretation ......when Helen was Spartan you absolute 🤡🤡🤡

It was because we didn't have social media to allow racists to rile each other up. If anyone was bothered by it they had to do so in private.

@QuenL2K @agraybee We wuz Helen n sheitt 🤭😂

@alythedon @agraybee 😭😭😭 we wuz Trojans n sheit

@QuenL2K @agraybee He described her as noble and focused more on her influence on others. Sub Saharans are not even the only black populations especially in the ancient world. King Memnon was black and apart of the Trojan royal family. Ethiopians have always been black stop whining.

@alythedon @agraybee No he didn’t. Just because he didn’t specify means nothing. They weren’t even in Greece at the time. Ethiopians were also very much different than what they are today as well. Try again.

@QuenL2K @agraybee Are you slow? He left her ethnicity up for interpretation. Who cares what you think is acceptable 😂

@alythedon @agraybee No it’s not. It’s never acceptable. You’re the same people that cry when a different ethnicity voice acts for a cartoon.

@QuenL2K @agraybee Yes, when her ethnicity was never mentioned

@agraybee It’s racist to not want a sub-Saharan to play a Greek

@CChilios93227 @agraybee He never mentioned her ethnicity…

@agraybee Is it racist to race swap and pretend that an area is more diverse than it actually was back in ancient Greece? OK if the answer is no then logically it is ok to do the same thing in a biopic set in ancient africa and still call it historically accurate

@DarkMatters_TT @magills_ Now asked is if he ever mentioned her ethnicity and if either of those terms define ethnicity as well 🤭

@magills_ Calypso isn't Helen... maybe erasing a race from a historical piece of literature is the problem and not the skin color? You wouldn't take a story about native Americans and replace them with an African tribe... so why is it okay when Greeks, Roman's, whites, are replaced?

In the 1997 Armand Assante version of The Odyssey the great Vanessa Williams (left) was cast as Calypso in the Greek epic and no one was outraged because she was unbelievably hot.

@Jaybell54321 @GeorgeDAndrews2 It’s their inferiority complex.

@GeorgeDAndrews2 Being from the North and moving to the south I have to say in the North people don’t talk about being Northern etc. In the South it’s everywhere. And Southern people all think that northerners look down on them. We don’t even talk about about you.

Up to the Civil War, Southerners were the undiluted remnant of Colonial America and the early Republic. Our impact was enormous in the Founding. Consider George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Patrick Henry, who were all Southerners. Arguably, after the stalemate in the North, the American Revolution was won in the South, with the turning points at King's Mountain, Cowpens, and ultimately Yorktown. Of the first 15 Presidents, 11 were Southerners. From 1840 to 1860, the North's population grew by millions, with the influx of Irish and German newcomers, reaching 23 million by 1860. At the same time, the white southern population was 5.5 million. With its much larger population, the North gained complete control of the Federal government. This coincided with the enactment of unconstitutional policies that favored their region at the expense of the South. Southerners in 1860-1861 had become outraged by the Northern tax and economic tyranny in the same way their Patriot grandfathers had been outraged by the British policies enacted against the colonies. The Confederates felt they were doing what their grandfathers had done. This is why so many of the descendants of Washington, Jefferson, and other Southern Founding Fathers, along with many thousands of the grandsons of patriot soldiers, fought for the Confederacy. On the other hand, almost half of the Union Army was either foreign-born mercenaries or sons of foreign-born immigrants.

@GeorgeDAndrews2 @CPatten58581 Nobody cares about your dead traitorous family members. Yes, they died for no other reason but to protect free labor. May they continue to rot

@CPatten58581 You don't owe me an apology. Your view is perfectly understandable. I meant no disrespect. It's painful for me to think they all died for nothing. I try to consider the larger principles involved.

@JakeSkywalker69 @Gemstoner218 @happyfionn Those are not literal interpretations, those could also be interpreted as fair armed and fair hair. Which, again, only describes her status not her ethnicity.

@alythedon @Gemstoner218 @happyfionn Helen the White Armed, with golden hair

lupita playing the woman who is so beautiful it ”launched a thousand ships” is so fitting, i love it here

@Rational17966 @happyfionn Right! Why can’t they get the right ethnicity of people who hatch from eggs 😡

@happyfionn Helen was a Mediterranean/european skinned color. Not black. This adding travis scott and then that trans person as achilles is woke nonsense. Its just not a movie to force inclusion in. Yes shes pretty but she isn't at all was helen is supposed to look like

@_WellBeloved @happyfionn Helen hatched from an egg… This white whining has to stop, they continuously portray whites as Africans which is silly.

@happyfionn She is very beautiful, odd pick though. It’d also be odd to adapt the Epic of Sundiata, the legend/poem about the founding of the Mali Empire, but make several of the main characters White. They wouldn’t though. You can only do that when taking from European/White culture.

@Deeteem1 Great, you’ll be one of the very few viewers.

Polish director and no blacks 👍

@Zone6Immigrant @V00D00CHaiLD Why are you so incoherent? White Americans chopped trees into extinction and native Africans have not. Again, why do you think this African man is being villainized for chopping down one tree?

@alythedon @V00D00CHaiLD Are we in 1820 or 2026

Europeans talking about crimes against nature.....ok

@Zone6Immigrant @V00D00CHaiLD So if you know whites hunted animals and chopped down trees to near extinction why do you think an African is being villainized for chopping down one tree?
