desu, there's a lot of interesting shit with these small African kingdoms. Kingdom of Ife had some pretty spot on bronze (actually copper) working and sculptures that really looks out of place compared to the traditional tribal animism.

Unironically this. Instead of the whole "LET'S REPLACE HISTORICALLY OR TRADITIONALLY NON-BLACK CHARACTERS WITH BLACK ONES SO DIVERSE"
Why don't they make movies about actual African Kingdoms? It would raise awareness on african history and show African-Americans a glimpse into their actual heritage

really nice guy, about to star in a starz show with jk simmons

>>79325106
Because leftists don't actually like history or non western culture they just like seeing western characters they already know replaced by blacks.

They would be bored in ten seconds if there was a movie legitimately about Africa and not some fantasy.

>Richest human being to ever exist in this world known in history was a black man.

How will whitebois ever recover from this fact?

Annoyingly this is true

Doesn't bother me at all, it's confirmed history.Unlike when they go all WE WUZ KANGZ about Ancient Egypt.And even worse, when they try to claim Ancient Greece was black.

I want a movie set during the Bantu invasions of the rest of Africa where it's Bantu vs Hadza or Khoisans.

Will I ever get it? Nope

>>79325177
I'm confused, whenever someone discusses subsaharan civilisations on /his/, they're called lefties... And now your post?

Which is correct? Please tell me, I need to know how 50% of the US population thinks, this is important!

>He is known to have been enormously wealthy;


Did some of this wealth come from slave trading by any chance?

I'm not sure what your point is

Just mentioning any location in the past isn't political

You have to make a political statement about it like "x country was so peaceful until the damn whites showed up"

William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"), was an English navigator who in 1600 was the first of his nation to reach Japan. One of a few survivors of the only Dutch East India Company ship to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition of 1598, Adams settled there and became the first ever (and one of the very few) Western samurai.

Soon after Adams' arrival in Japan, he became a key advisor to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. Adams directed construction for the shogun of the first Western-style ships in the country. Adams was later key to Japan's approving the establishment of trading factories by the Netherlands and England. He also was highly involved in Japan's Red Seal Asian trade, chartering and serving as captain of four expeditions to Southeast Asia. He died in Japan at age 55. He has been recognised as one of the most influential foreigners in Japan during this period.[1]

/pol/ designated /his/ a leftist board for discussing history, unbiased
The extreme-right decree that anything that isn't right is left, ie the actual history of africa as anything other than skeletons living in mudhuts

However, the social leftists in full force on twitter don't care about actual history and just want diversity points

>tldr; don't listen to /pol/ to distinguish political leanings

>>79325460
Oh so when you say leftists, you mean a very particular and narrow subset of them, rather than what is seemingly half of the US population?

>>79325457

My grandfather said build a wall around africa and throw over a couple knives and forks.

>"The ruler who preceded me did not believe that it was impossible to reach the extremity of the ocean that encircles the earth (the Atlantic Ocean). He wanted to reach that (end) and was determined to pursue his plan. So he equipped two hundred boats full of men, and many others full of gold, water and provisions sufficient for several years. He ordered the captain not to return until they had reached the other end of the ocean, or until he had exhausted the provisions and water. So they set out on their journey. They were absent for a long period, and, at last just one boat returned. When questioned the captain replied: 'O Prince, we navigated for a long period, until we saw in the midst of the ocean a great river which was flowing massively.. My boat was the last one; others were ahead of me, and they were drowned in the great whirlpool and never came out again. I sailed back to escape this current.' But the Sultan would not believe him. He ordered two thousand boats to be equipped for him and his men, and one thousand more for water and provisions. Then he conferred the regency on me for the term of his absence, and departed with his men, never to return nor to give a sign of life."

What was the river in the ocean?

Regardless of the whether that's true or not (it's not), it's not a metaphor.

Id like to see more true crime period pieces, especially set in times a long ass time ago. I couldnt find it, but there was another case in spain where a women was kidnapping children and killing them in witchcraft rituals in the 1860s

Why didn't they learn how to swim or build things that float on water then?
