More cultural appropriation black to play Zeus in Troy

[Paul Essien]

It is stupid to cast a black actor to play a greek god.

So the Greeks are white now ? Notice how white people (like you) change who isn't white when it suits.

"Jews ain't white !!" "But that Jew Einstein. He makes whites look smart so we'll accept him !"

White is based not just on looks – it is based on culture too. You see that with Arabs: in the Middle East they are not seen as white by Americans, but if they come to America and take on White American ways, they are – like Steve Jobs (Former heard of Apple) and Ralph Nader.

Civilization is not a white invention. Their civilization comes from Egypt and the Middle East by way of Greece and Rome. But white supremacist see it as starting with Greece because it was the first “white” country to be civilized.

And it was first only because it was closest to Egypt.

The Greeks seem to have amazing intelligence. Because whites are taught to turn a blind eye to the Egyptian roots of Greek civilization: the columns, the paper, the science and mathematics, etc, all came straight out of Egypt. Even before Alexandria became the centre of Greek learning, people like Plato, Pythagoras, Solon and Thales all studied in Egypt. “The glory that was Greece” was built not on some kind of amazing Greek grey matter but sailing times to Egypt.

And notice how guys like you play up what you have in common with the Ancient Greeks. But you do not apply that kind of thinking to the Greeks of the past 1500 years, who they look down on as unimportant, even the Byzantine Empire.

Zeus wasn't even real. But let's just ignore the decades whites have played people from other races.

So if it's not ok for whites to play other races, then it's ok for blacks to play other races?

Nobody knows what color Zeus was. He wasn't real. He was a myth.

Get a grip. Greeks aren't going to make their myths and heroes black to make you happy. You're fucking delusional.

Damn nigga... Not only did you de-rail, you bring up shit from a long time ago?
We call that "desperation" around here.

And why don't you apply that same argument to so called white inventions ?

You know, the light bulb was invented over a hundred years ago. Even the computer was invented nearly 70 years ago. It has nothing to do with the present. So why even talk about it? Get over it and move on.

Almost no white person talks like that. Right ? Hell Ancient Greece was thousand of years.

Guys like you want want to claim and take pride in the good things from their past – inventions made, battles won, rights fought for but then act as if the bad things have nothing to do with them – like slavery, genocide and rights not fought for.

Hakeem Kae-Kazim to Play Zeus in BBC and Netflix Series ‘Troy’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Disgusting filth. For everyone that has netflix don't forget to give this a THUMBS DOWN!

Once again. Black American men are the only men who have systematically challenged white supremacy. This why the likes of Taz, bgrouse Meathead get so emotional about black people. Notice they don't get emotional about Asian american men ? Even though they're always taken about how smart they are.

We are the only threat to systematic white supremacy. We have been consistent. Going back to Denmark Vessy, to Nat Turner, to Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad

The only thing that YOU are a threat to is common sense, common decency and sanity.

About as real as any other god or goddesses.

Why? Zeus never existed. He is imaginary, so he can be any color those who decide they want him to be.

Because he has thousands of years of existence as a figure of GREEK mythology.


It is stupid to cast a black actor to play him.

That was a lot of crazy talk that did not challenge my point, it is stupid to cast a black actor to play a Greek God.
