So many words to describe this monologue. Compelling. Enthralling. Immediate. Delightfully oxymoronic. Painfully paradoxical. But none really do it justice. Quite simply the best soliloquy I've had the pleasure of reading in a novel. And brilliantly bookended 😁

Seems like there's a significant number of people who only like one film, "Apocalypto". 😉

@vagirl23185 @acnewsitics @Emarged All the actors should be Greek then in your eyes. Why are Americans being casted in the film? Why isn’t the film in Greek with subtitles. Let’s stay as close as we can to the culture and true source of the story. Right?

@justiceandheels They were made to look as much as possible like 1st century jews though ... there is no attempt to make Lupita look like a blond , blue eyed Greek princess as Homer describes Helen ....

White people had no issue with raceswapping when they put European white actors into roles in movies based on Middle Eastern epics and religious figures. Prince of Persia and Jesus could apparently be whitewashed over and over but God forbid Lupita plays Helena? Hypocrisy.

This Odyssey thing has pissed me off so much. And I'm not even Greek. We've seen this same thing play out so many times over the years - remember everyone insisting Cleopatra was black, or that Vikings had a "diverse" society? I'm sick to death of leftists trying so hard to destroy European cultures. White populations are entitled to our own unique stories, histories, mythologies that DO NOT INCLUDE non-whites. And when you make this point and say, "hey, it's shitty to erase white people from their own history", leftists will scream at you that mythology isn't even real, so why do we care? Well, you guys race-swap our historical figures, too - like casting Anne Boleyn as a black woman, trying to insist Queen Charlotte was black, adding black people to Viking stories, telling us constantly how multicultural ancient Rome and Greece were. But, the mythology thing, to me, is the worst of all. Because it means you think you're entitled to fuck with the fabric of European cultures. These narratives often tell a people who they are, where they came from, and what they value. Some of these mythologies are so impactful and enduring that they have shaped Western art, literature, philosophy, law, identity. And it's why they continue to be useful today in helping to explain who our ancestors were and what mattered to them. You don't just get to erase that bc you have diversity quotas???? It is disgusting that dismantling the cultural heritage of white people is so socially accepted. But, it has gone far enough. And it needs to stop.

@sadmethod It's not race swapping. Homer intentionally left Helen as a blank canvas for readers and audiences to project their own ideals of beauty upon.

My 2 cents on the Lupita Nyong’o Odyssey debate: I think Christopher Nolan set Lupita Nyong’o up by casting her as Helen of Troy. This was always going to create controversy because Helen is one of the most iconic figures in Greek mythology. It’s similar to how many Black people would react if a white actor was cast to play Shaka Zulu or Nelson Mandela. People become protective over historical and cultural figures they strongly associate with their identity. In my opinion race swapping in stories so tied to a specific culture can sometimes feel forced and ends up creating unnecessary backlash, division and even racism instead of focusing on the actual performance.

Call me antisemitic but shouldn’t this headline read ‘Bulgaria’s Dara wins the 70th Eurovision Song Contest’? 🤔

@hol40900 I think you have missed the point, entirely. We don’t want socialist in control. We don’t want illegal immigrants. We want to Make Britain Great Again. 🇬🇧 Also Fuck Islam. ✝️

Tommy welcomes "the French girls" – flagged as "foreign agitators" entering the UK. Meanwhile, you claim two‑tier policing. But you're the one celebrating foreign nationals joining your rally. The irony writes itself. 🇫🇷🇬🇧

The Black Opinion
The Black Opinion@opinion_black·
I am conflicted. Am I a ‘racist?’ Am I a ‘far right thug?’ The reason I am now asking myself these fairly serious questions is that Prime Minister Keir Starmer has made clear that those attending the massive Unite march tomorrow are those things. Last year I attended that march because I wanted to speak first hand what those on that march really thought. I spoke to a great deal of people. I was spoken to with respect, politeness and made a few friends in the process. I dint hear a single racist comment, did not witness any violence and did not site the ‘far right thugs’ that Starmer spoke about. I am a black man with a black missus, black children, majority of black friends. I also have many white friends that I have experienced great times who have shown me great love. We speak openly about many things and I do not consider them my enemies. They have a right to their opinions. Starmer is seeking to cause consternation division and confrontation tomorrow. His behaviour is truly despicable. If he had any decency left in him he would be ashamed of himself. #Truth
