The three genres of modern "historical" visual media
(1)The Race Swap:to portray a historical figure associated with Western Civilization in a positive light and/or in an accurate presentation consistent with recorded history, the historical figure must be portrayed by a black actor/actress.Example: Queen Cleopatra, Hannibal Barca.
(2)The Hit Piece:if a historical figure cannot be feasibly race-swapped, for reasons such as public knowledge of the figure, then the historical figure may be portrayed by a "white" actor, but the film must be an absurd character assassination that borders on incoherence. Humiliation must be the main goal.Example: Napoleon.
(3)The Puff Piece:if a historical figure is actually of African ancestry, then their deeds, virtues, allegiances, goals, and accomplishments must be rewritten, even inverted, to be portrayed in an unambiguoisly positive light with great exaggeration.Example: The Woman King.
(2)The Hit Piece:if a historical figure cannot be feasibly race-swapped, for reasons such as public knowledge of the figure, then the historical figure may be portrayed by a "white" actor, but the film must be an absurd character assassination that borders on incoherence.

That's a perfect summary, nothing like rewriting history.......
And ignorant Zoomers will believe it.

Yeah. It's called blackwashing, and it's pretty annoying. To be fair, whitey did this for like a century though. Still, it's just as dumb.
Also would pay to see that killing hitler movie.

I think the reason was moreso the general status of black people/black actors at the time and the simple willingness to cast them in movies. IE, discrimination. It was an issue on the back end instead of the front end. Not that it's any better.Yeah. It's called blackwashing, and it's pretty annoying. To be fair, whitey did this for like a century though.

Also... it's not the black people doing it. There's no revenge going on from the side of black people. It's a third party altogether that are simply using black people to do this. So I don't blame black people for this in any way whatsoever. Why wouldn't they accept these sweet movie roles?
