We Waz Kangz! Thoughts on Anne Boylen being Black?

I'm getting a little sick of diversity changing how history is portrayed.

Africans were still in the stone age when Mozart and Beethoven were writing masterpieces.
I'm not talking about the north Africans like Arabs and Egyptians. I'm talking about subsaharan Africans that didn't know what stairs and written language was until Arabs and Europeans showed up. Ethiopia is not what I'd considered subsaharan either. They have a rich history.
There are no old books or manuscripts except for when Arabs pushing islam went to visit deep tribes and wrote down what they found.
Every continent on the planet was covered with advanced civilizations, empires, massive monuments that are still standing, written music thousands of years old that can still be played, musical instruments, ships used to travel thousands of miles... none of that originated in sub-saharan Africa.

Rewriting history to appease a parasitic sub-culture is not the right step forward.

[Sevenpointfive]

i agree

[malwins]

its not necessarily their fault, i think some books have covered why it has developed like that

[cth96190]

The movie is typical Jew/Communist garbage.
In Tudor England the number of blacks could have been counted on one hand.
Only the tiny minority of educated or well travelled people would have been aware that blacks existed.
The movie makers have put a veneer of anti-white anti-Western lies over history.

Doesn't matter Anne boleyn got her head lopped off in the end anyway...

It was because of her the whole of England changed religion and caused our Scottish Queen to be beheaded. And the 2 religions since have been at each others throats since

[Gespenster_division]

Your Scottish Queen lost her head because she aligned herself with France and spain against England. England undermined her, paying off her enemies and weakening her position encouraging others to take power through her.

[Gespenster_division]

To be fair she was more French than spainish and was an heir to the throne of England as a tudor descendant herself of her uncle Henry 8th & grandfather Henry 7th & Elizabeth York. She lost her head for trying to claim the throne of England

[Andres77]

@brokenheartedx
If she was black and got her head off... well of course it was only because she was black and Henry XIII was racist.

[Agape93]

Stupid :/ because she wasn’t black. But if you’re doing an alt history timeline story, maybe.

[Gespenster_division]

Set in Africa maybe

[Sargentcaptain]

I wonder if this could work the other way around.

The hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

[crmoore]

Lmfao

[Astarlessnightsky]

Don't care.

I don't know what the story is about but i doubt the skin colour plays a major part in it and will still work (A Story about Martin Luther King for example wouldn't work unless you completely reverse everyones skin colour)

It may not be historically accurate but 90% of the movies aren't historically accurate.

[lucas262]

YEP. I'm fucking done with Hollywood. You can black face Spiderman and not give me static shock if you want. But leave history tf alone. No matter the writing or storyline that blatant politically correct slap in the face is 1st and foremost to any true history student.

[acooke-13]

I don't particularly care, she is still portraying the same character and a white woman would. However I know if a white woman played a black person, all hell would break lose.

[OlderAndWiser]

Is this actually history or the manifestation of revisionist history employed by people who self-righteously believe that lies are okay because the end always justifies the means?

[crazyish]

Who cares. It doesn't change what happened. Their reasoning for it is the only thing that bothers me.

[Leavesbound]

Anne Boylen wasn't Black. This is a proven historical fact.

[Xoirwinkan]

If you hate whitewashing history, blackwashing is just as bad. It's disgusting how being white is something bad these days.

[TheEbonyEnchantress]

It's okay to be white 😹

[Xoirwinkan]

@TheEbonyEnchantress I know. I hate diversity just for diversity's sake and being PC.

[joeldalton]

The good news is that with Chadwick Bozeman passed away, now we can have Michael J Fox play the next black panther.

[rcljr]

Another fantasy, grasping at anything to give legitimacy or standing in white history…. News flash ! February is over, you had your month of ass kissing from fake news media.

[princeofromance]

I have no thoughts on this particular subject matter. It is not my area of expertise.

[PeterCharie1991]

If she ever was itd be to appease black people, or otherwise itll be racist

[Anonymous]

Well it’s not accurate so no point portraying someone if you’re not staying with proper details for that time period

[maryisbreathing]

I'd prefer it if it were accurate

[karaspara]

More bullshit in the name of diversity

[bigslab]

Contrivances eliminate the Immersion

[msc545]

No way to know, and it does not really matter.

[malwins]

Lol which stupid movie is this

[Avicenna]

She wasn’t

[loveslongnails]

who cares?

[Pterodon]

Doubtful
