You shouldn't be surprised.

>BBC One
Really living up to the name.
>>84909339
>VOTE REPUBLICAN OR THERE WILL BE WHITE GENOCIDE
This is literally the entire gameplan at this point. They've really upped the scare tactics from just taking our guns and death panels. Turns out tapping into racial prejudice has been the key to courting conservatives all along
>>84909339
>Fall Of A City
Are the writers being ironic or is the universe?
i am so fucking mad right now and i'm not even white
>Achilles will die when some 5'0" white guy shoots him in the dick with an arrow, his dick being his only weakness as his mother held him by it as she dunked him in the river

what the fuck are you talking about retard?
>>84909361
Actually you should be.
Black British are only 3.0% of the fucking UK. THREE PERCENT.
This massive over-representation in British media is bullshit. Pakis should be in these fucking roles before blacks.
>>84909339
definite proof that greeks are shitskins
>>84909467
The dude on the far right is half white.
WTF
>>84909575
He is playing the fucking Aeneas
>>84909543
I don't think you understand the BBC if you're bringing up the statistics.
>>84909339
>Troy: Fall Of A City
more like London: Fall Of A City
>>84909467
>conservatives
most people on 4chan are radicals (either left or right) and couldn't give less of a shit about traditional parties or muh conservative values. Trump was the exception

KAAAANGZZZZZ
>>84909339
>character is called Anus
>>84909467
Black people have known this since Barry Goldwater. Even after becoming rich, only the biggest uncle Tom votes republican.
AYO
Will Achilles and Patroclus be some Moonlight shit?
Also is Helen going to be white?
Isn't Alfred Enoch's Dad a white guy? He was the first Dr Who companion or some shit. Not that it matters, but you can tell by his face.
>>84909742
>menelas white
>helene white
>paris black
i mean it's 2017
>>84909742
Paris and Helen are both white.
Oh boy that means Hector should be white too. whyte bois btfo xD
>>84909742
Of course Helen will be White, all the women will be.
>>84909596
>couldn't give less of a shit about
>traditional parties
True.
>muh conservative values
Wrong, as is apparent by the calling out of "degeneracy" and the opposition to universally accepted beliefs of modern day progressivism like homosexuality acceptance, egalitarianism and feminism.
Fuck off back to leftypol.
>>84909788
You do know Helen doesn't get with any of these characters, right?
>>84909771
Diomedes will be the personification of White Privilege - favoured by the gods
(actor will be Jewish)
>>84909339
>BBC
I wonder who could be behind this....
>>84909339
This is why historical and ancient themed movies fail. They shoehorn nignogs into roles that are anachronisms and the core demographic of these movies don't want to see it.Then kikes pretend like they just inherently not financially viable to make so they refuse to make anything decent.
>>84909804
She will now :'-)
>>84909339
WE WUZ GREEKS 'N SHIT!
>>84909339
Yeah, because the Illiade and the Odisey isn't one of the most important works from all the west or anything.
Jesus fuck It's the first time I got triggered for that kind of shit.
>>84909804
Are you retarded?
>>84909339
They are not trying to hide it anymore huh?
>>84909543
>black
>british
>>84909959
don't click if you get quickly triggered alsolook at the date. this shit has been going on for a while now
>>84909339
This is obviously gonna suck, not because the actors are black, but because nobody good is involved.
The dude playing Aeneas was on that show How to Get Away with Murder, and he had this retarded, confused look on his face all the time. He simply can't act.
Why do the BBC ALWAYS cast back actors?
There are twice as many asians here than blacks, but they get a tenth of the screentime
>>84909339
I hope they keep Helen and Briseis white though, because that would be pretty hot.
WE
>>84910151
What would be hot, exactly?
But dey were Black yo rasists
>>84910060
they have hardline diversity rules
exact percentages of people in all thier programs and non televised roles have to be black, muslim, asian, gay, transgender, disabled etc etc
also the percentages that a required are much higher than what is representative for the UK's actual population
look it up, there was some thing recently where they were hiring for executives or something and it had a (no whites) policy. They're taking affirmitive action to new levels
>>84910184
And people spazz out about Sweden. No such thing as affirmitive action there, since it'd be firmly in violation of anti-discrimination laws.
>>84909971
>who is Idris Elba
>>84910029
Why is modern Britain such a police state?
Even Sweden and Germany aren't that totalitarian.
>>84910060
The elites are counting on mass-importation of blacks from sub-saharan africa to replace ethnic Europeans so they try to normalize a high presence of blacks as much as they can.
They know that the mid-east cannot supply people indefinitely, there's a high chance that the region will improve in stability and living standards, muslims commit more open, high profile terrorism which makes mass-immigration further difficult to pull off.
Plus Muslims have beliefs and principles, they're not as willing to accept the progressive dissolution of traditional values among themselves.
So mid-east muslims are better than native europeans for the elites, but not as good as sub-saharan africans, who are ideal.
>>84909339
there are better black actors to fit these badass roles just saying this is low tier
AYO HOL UP
*SMACKS LIPZ*
SO U BE SAYIN

U BE SAYIN WE WUZ
GREEKS N SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHIIIIIEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT?
>It's always fucking Black people
I wonder why they never ever use Asians, Hispanic, Native Americans, etc
The level of affirmative action they have with this people is astounding
>>84910175
because white women with a black man always gives me a huge boner
Damn, so, everyone in the past was black?
Shieeettt.
>>84910431
Did you say bonus?
>>84910411
blacks are the most obviously retarded so they need the most propaganda, asians act like humans so they don't get any roles
>>84910431
Paris is confirmed white and so is menelaus.
Briseis is your go to girl for your BLACKED fetishes
I don't even have to go through this thread to know that nu/pol/ is getting triggered by this

Achilles is going to be full homo. Briesis will be a white twinky boy.
>>84910504
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO netflix fucked up
paris must be black, or else...
>>84910569
Be honest, do you get hard fantasizing about this?
>>84910060
Because Western Europe desperately tries to emulate the US.
>greeks
>white
lolnope
>>84910508
yeah I miss old not racist /pol/
>>84909543
He's saying it's not surprising because the media in England shoves multiculturalism down the country's throat.
>>84910611
More like old not whiny bitching 24/7 /pol/
>>84910508
Coupled with posts like 84910570
Its kind of embarrassing desu
>>84910611
/pol/ was never not racist newfag. you probably mean /new/ and they were also pretty racist.
>>84910641
If there's any nigger casting worthy of bitching about, it's this
>>84909559
his hair is upside down
>>84910660
Um, no, sweetie. It's OK to recast historical characters as black and you'd BETTER get with the program or else... I'll call you /pol.
Yeah, you wouldn't like that.
>>84910593
I get hard fantasizing about a bunch of Brittish government employees in a room trying to come up with ideas to break the capitalist/patriarchal/eurocentric/christian conditioning, getting hot just reading the degenerate smut outloud and blowing eachother.
>>84909379
Because the moment they do, they're shunned by the majority of the black community for "being a house nigger".
>pic related
is there any show from netflix that's not blacked?
>>84910721
Not since Soros invested
>>84910499
Hollywood doesn't cast Asians because Asians hate other Asians. Japs won't watch anything with a Chinese dude in it, and vice versa.
If you put a black guy on the screen, everyone from Compton to Nigeria will say "I like the black guy, he's like me."
>>84910660
Not really
>>84910743
wait... castelvania also? i mean, it's cartoon but netflix one right
>>84910786
Too bad then they turn off the Asian market when they do. I mean they took off Finn from The Force Awaken's poster in China and he was a major character.
>>84910508
Not even /pol/ but this irritates me.
Like, why can we not have a historical show without forcing diversity into it?
It makes no sense for the Trojans to be black.
>>84910660
It's a fucking television movie
/tv/ will have daily threads because of this shit for weeks
>>84910825
finn wans't only one black removed from that poster
>>84910793
...actually, I didn't see any nigger in Castlevania, there were probably Mediterraneans (a dude with tanned skin) but that's it.
>>84909339
The Fall of a Culture more like, as well as property values, average IQ, economic prosperity and literacy.
>>84910905
*tips MAGA hat*
>>84909339
I'd honestly respect them more if they went full-on "The Wiz", rather than replacing just specific parts with black actors
>>84910905
now you will know who fell for giant wooden horse prank and hate even more blacks for be dump in te past
Homer described Achilles as blonde. Why is this being blackwashed?
The trojan horse will have a condom
>>84910981
I'd watch an all black version of Macbeth set in pre-discovery Africa. A Cheif's son kills him to take his place before falling into madness and paranoia would be pretty good tbqh
>>84909339
>no Idris Elba
dropped
>>84910905
Do you know what the Flynn effect is? We're seeing major increases in IQ across parts of East Africa.
Someday they'll be just as intelligent than whites. If anything, they'll be smarter due to the Chinese influence there and their desire for practicality.
>>84911043
See, that seems like an actually interesting idea.
Taking an established story and merely replacing the race of the characters, however, is lazy-as-fuck.
Based Dean Thomas. BLACKEDs Harry Potter's girlfriend, and now this.
>>84910946
> no argument
As expected.
>>84910508
>wanting historical accuracy instead of shitty agenda pushing is /pol/

He's right. You sound like a child who just learned a bad word.
Your memes are as stale as lolcats.
>>84911054

I bet you believe in Yakub as well

>Troy
>starring blacks
>filmed on location in Cape Town
I used to think it was just /pol/ meming but this is getting fucking crazy. WE WUZ was funny because it's just some delusional idiots.
This is like if Hollywood systematically promoted the Han Chinese emperors of Africa or flat earth movies constantly. What the fuck? People can't even speak out against because "racism"?
>>84909742
Obviously Helen and bresais will be white.
>>84910508
It doesnt bother me cause I don't watch TV or movies very often. But when someone is obviously pushing an agenda that's always kind of triggering.
>>84910235
Not british.
>>84911235
>People can't even speak out against because "racism"?
Yep. If you dislike it, you're a full-blown /pol/ Himmler.
So, get with the program and only like what you're told to.
> British people have to pay a TV license to be force-fed this cuck shite
Nice "Empire" you have there.
>>84909379
Because they are getting all the advantages from it
>>84911498
Britcucks are just hilarious.

>>84909339
>BBC
The streak continues.
>>84911642
If shame can quench your pride, then you had none to begin with.
>>84911498
Worst part is that there's seemingly no way to get rid of it
the so-called "conservative" party are its biggest supporters because they get reasonably favourable political coverage. You'd think for a bunch of small state guys they'd be opposed to using the law to force people to buy a product they have no means of opting out of other than to stop watching TV altogether
Farage suggested a few years ago that maybe it was time to rethink the license fee and the entire media (including traditionally anti-BBC papers like the mail) jumped on him and said he wanted to deprive people of Dr. Who and Strictly Come Dancing. I can only imagine it's because the BBC have child rape parties which the news editors of papers are invited to
The only hope is that license fee payments will decline as people just stop watching live TV and move to things like netflix, although it won't be long until we're paying a streaming license fee
>>84911903
Can you not get kodi in UK?
>>84911734
didn't lancelot fucked some bitch and then ran away?
and then he cucked arthur
>>84911972
Of course, plenty of people are moving to that to but it's difficult for normies because the government is now cracking down on those "pre-loaded" kodi boxes that have things like exodus already installed
>>84911734
That's ABC, not BBC.
>>84911903
>jumped on him and said he wanted to deprive people of Dr. Who and Strictly Come Dancing
>this was all it took to manipulate redditor millennial cucks into their demise
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>84912015
You can just download it yourself to some smart tvs, or to a TV stick. In 2017 we should only push for internet, I can't believe cable lasted as long as it did
>>84912041
Oh my bad. Hollow Crown is BBC right? Also that one other medieval series where the queen is a nigger was also by BBC IIRC. I mix these things up.
Bunch of historical negroes in British telly.

>le redditors are the true oldfags meme
No one falls for it.
>>84912363
But this is produced by his people.
>>84912189
Yeah that's BBC afaik.
The thing that makes Hollow Crown less awful is that it's basically theatre turned into a film, and theatre isn't as tied to being historically accurate. That and Paterson Joseph is a stellar actor. Still a weird thing to do though; it strikes me as dishonest.
>>84909339
>play first episode
>as soon as the nigger appears turn it off

If you think that is bad well look here. This is the guy who Netflix hired for the role of Dandelion in Witcher

Why the fuck so we get the same fucking historical events over and fucking over. There's a million more sieges with better characters and stories then fucking Troy. We already got our blockbuster. Fucking do something original BBC you limey cunts.
tbqh Bongs urgently need to mix their genes with some hardcore bbc granny creampie to wash away the centuries of inbreeding
Fucking nigger faggot
how about you look in the mirror and ask yourself "could I really be Achilles? Or wud that be like wack yo?"
Obviously he's not going to say no to a part like this, but he should

That's it. I'm canceling NF.
No one will actually watch this shit will they? Might as well make a story about American slavery and cast whites and Asians as the slaves.

>>84909559
uh this "person" needs to be gassed

What the fuck?
>>84909339
>Greece sues the UK in the EU courts for cultural appropriation
Film at 11.
>>84912924
They could however make a story about the barbary pirates of North Africa and how they captured and sold about a million southern europeans into slavery.
Or maybe a film about how the black civilisations of East Africa conquered and enslaved the bush tribes and sold them as slaves to the arabs and indians for several hundred years before whitey showed up and found a booming slavery market of the africans' own making.
>>84913033

They're like satire of themselves at this point.
>>84913135
>that KANG on the wall

They'll never produce anything that would bring the centuries-long Jewish slave trade into the public eye. You can't touch on the African slave trade and not have the Jews brought in for context.

I'm not woke enough for this.
>>84913244
I think there was a nubian dynasty ruling Egypt at some point, but Nubians are even more distant from the enslaved east african bush tribes than the japanese are from the french
The idea that there's a monolithic african ethnicity is about as dumb as putting every single white people in the same basket.

It's true though. You can make whatever you want however you want. And the customers should vote with their wallets.
>>84913494
This shit is paid with the money of taxpayers
>>84913494
I agree. And the funny thing is that all these /pol/fags will hate watch this anyway instead of sending a message
>>84913628
Oh that's pretty cucked then.
>>84913628
Is the BBC really financed by taxes?
In Sweden we have a similar network, but it's financed by the television license which you can opt to not pay, either because you don't have a TV or because you tell them you don't. It's a dumb system, but atleast it's not state money.
>>84913494
BBC is funded with taxpayer money. They can't vote with their wallets on this one because the government already took their money over threat of imprisonment.
>>84913740
I wasn't aware. That's pretty fucked up.
>>84913740
isn't this going to be on Netflix though?
>>84909339
It's not like they'd get a bunch of Greeks for the show. Why is it okay they get a bunch of British or Italians actors but God forbid they get some black ones.

It's not nordics spazzing out about south europeans, it's usually americans who don't get the point behind european unity
I'm british and I consider spaniards and italians to be white
also greeks
>>84914666
What about turks, white devil?
>>84914666
Only autists wouldn't. The idea that they aren't comes from the US classifying hispanics as a different race then imposing that classification onto european latins.
>>84915382
Turks aren't a race. They're just a mix of all kinds of shit. You can find Turks that look like literal roaches and you can find blonde blue eyed Turks.Also Anzu looks horrible without makeup.
Personally I think this is great. Even normies will notice something's up when they're this blatant with their agenda.
LITERALLY white genocide!!!!!!
>>84909339
>>84909543
It's because they only give a shit about London. The black representation is about right in relation to London. Remember a few years ago when someone was complaining about Midsomer being so white? They can't see out of their own little London bubble.
Indians and Pakistanis still get screwed over for roles though
>>84913740
Except that's not how the T.V licence works.
>>84914392
underrated
>>84910244
Most niggers are Muslim, too
Greek here, I don't give a shit
Have far more important problems
>>84915874
Christ this would send the Prussian elite spinning furiously in their graves
>>84909379
When even krager points out how ridiculous it is we've reached the bottom of the abyss haven't we.
None of you have even read the Iliad. I bet you think the Trojan horse is in it.
>he doesn't know
why are Europeans just sitting and letting their history get rewritten and shitwashed?
>>84918688
Do you expect the Greek to start a war with Britbongs because of their BBC fantasies?
You guys know that the Greeks retold their own stories with changes right? Otherwise the same story would get old.
>>84918658
hot
>>84918740
I expect Brits to rise up and hang the kikes that made this from street lamps
>>84915874
wtf I love historical revisionism now.
You guys realize western Europeans aren't Greek too? Look at every other Troy adaption and count how many greeks you see.
Race doesn't matter when casting, only the skill of the actor.
>>84918781
The far left in Britain that pushed this is openly anti Semitic. Look up George galloway and jere,y Corbyn. There are hezbollah flags at labour rallies now
Jews in UK vote conservative
>>84909543
Are you fucking kidding me? As an American I had no idea it was that low. UK media is obsessed.
>Black British
No such thing.
>>84918911
>Race doesn't matter when casting
Ok, so every character can be white and you won't complain.
>>84909543
Wrong, its about 15% in London where you know, the actual media is

>equating owen jones with all brits
