So, any criticism of this = racism?


It is getting rather ridiculous really.

Racism is creating and releasing this abomination ...

Yes this is the truth. It is a racist film sadly

This has been the bozo left wing playbook for decades.

Pretty much. They make garbage and if you don't like it, you're racist. Or any number of catch-22s to try to protect the garbage they put out.

It's kind of like when that horrible Charlie's Angels film came out and they were saying how men shouldn't go and this is a film just for women. Then it bombed and they tried to say everyone's misogynist because men didn't go see it and it failed.

It's laughable at this point.

If Meryl Streep played Harriet Tubman in a movie, cities would burn. But casting a black actress as Cleopatra, a Macedonian white woman? No problem.

reply

Why do you have to say Macedonian white. Why can’t you just say Macedonian? And do you think Streep would be a good Cleopatra?

reply

The only thing Meryl Streep is good for is championing pedophiles.

Funny, considering how racist this is against Greeks and Egyptians.

Yes, it is the same formula over and over again.

Basically. Somewhat hilarious considering those that believe such criticism is racism are blind to their hypocrisy and the implications of those who are white (or any non-black race really) and feigning outrage with their adopt-a-negro mentality.

Yep, that’s the privilege you get when you check the woke diversity boxes. Anyone who criticizes you you get to call racist.
