I'm glad that people are actually doing something to stop this scourge
When being woke hits back. This isn’t a Disney princess, this is a factual historical figure. Can’t “woke” that
Hope the Egyptians win the lawsuit . Jada needs to be put in her place .
Well this is what happens when you trash one culture to promote another
Good God Egyptians!!!!Regards from Athens and respect!!!!Make them pay!!!!!
Egyptians will teach them that the world isn't americans
Yay!!! What they did is disgusting. EVERYTHING ISN’T BLACK!!!
Now release a White Martin Luther King and Indian Jordan
Respect for the Egyptians!
AMERICA NEEDS TO KEEP THEIR PC CULTURE TO THEMSELVES.
If I read right… Jada Pinkett Smith is involved in the production Explains the problem
Sue the hell out of them.
It’s time African Americans realised they are not the only black people on earth and they aren’t the authority on Africa. Hell most don’t even know their own history.
I hope Egypt wins this fight!
Hollywood should be banned from making films and series on history.

Awesome!!! I love this!!! Stop changing history to soothe feelings.
they could have called it a fictional docu drama and nobody would have cared because nobody would have watched it. but calling it a documentary opened them up for a lawsuit. i love the opening tho. "i don't care what they tell you in school: cleopatra was black" tells you everything you need to know. first of all i never learned anything about cleopatra in school. second of all: we have tons and tons and tons and tons of evidence that she was not black.
Black people becoming the one whose racist today and they let themselves to be racist-ed by the seggregation of the society like black owned categories, business etc. It's getting ridiculous
The little mermaid was a cultural fairy tale they've also black washed Anne Boleyn and queen Charlotte they've done it Numerous times already but they made a mistake by black washing an Egyptian queen because whites can't fight back because of black fragility but they poked the Egyptian bear and now it's time to fight back...
