Your comparison of this Hannibal controversy to Enders Theory is 100% Factual. As long as the figure “sacrificed” into blackness has a horror story attached to the end of it it’s ok. As long as you understand that you can rise up against Greco-Roman oppression (which still applies to the west today because modern European empires were built off of that foundation) but you’ll never win. Same reason why contemporary America education never focuses on Black figures that have challenged oppression and took a W.

Well those ancient Black signifiant others did die at the end as we all will die some day. The focus does not have to be about these ancient significant Black peoples death, but rather, what did they achieve during their life times.. It seem to me that many Black people do not believe in their own Black History, and are confused about how white racist filmmakers decide to portray us, and whether or not the white racist audience will accept the historical films. My primary focus is always on their achievements, and less about when and how they died, since we all will die some day.. By the way most of the Roman emperors were murdered by their own people in HORRIFIC incidents, Remember "BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH" before Julius Caesar was STABBED to death,,and do you we hear white folks complaining about how he died, and saying "THEY MADE HIM WHITE SO THAT HE COULD BE STABBED TO DEATH AT THE END" ha ha.. That is the same with the REPARATION discussions when Blacks are arguing about "WHO SHOULD GET BLACK REPARATIONS", and that it should only be for "ADOS", and another group says it should be "FBA's", and that NEWER immigrants from the Caribbean/Africa who arrived 100 years ago back in 1923 should not qualify for any reparations, as if they did not suffer from the oppresion of "JIM CROW" laws and racial discrimination, RACE RIOTS that destroyed Black townships etc., and should not receive reparations for that suffering. It is like some Blacks are saying that "MASSA DON'T GIVE THEM OTHER NEGROES NO MONEY, PLEASE JUST GIVE IT TO US ADOS or FBA's", as if they are so worried about the white man's money, and don't give it to those other Blacks because they are different from us, WHEN HE DON'T PLAN TO GIVE IT TO ANY OF US.. So I say why worry about other Blacks getting reparations for their past 100 yrs of oppression/LYNCHINGS, UNEQUAL EDUCATION, HOUSING, EMPLOYING DISCRIMINATION even if it was after CHATTEL SLAVERY, because we are continuing to suffer and be victims of discrimination and oppression..Thats my take on the subject..

The elephants with which Hannibal crossed the Pyrenees and the Alps in order to invade Italy during the Second Punic War (218-201 BC) belonged to the North African elephant, with the exception of Hannibal's personal animal, Surus (meaning "the Syrian," or possibly "One-Tusker"). This individual, according to his documented name and large size, may have been a Syrian elephant (Elephas maximus asurus), which was possibly a subspecies of the Asian elephant that became extinct shortly after Hannibal invaded Italy, but before the extinction of the North African elephant. So the question is who is on the Etruscan coin? Note*The Etruscan coin is from central Italy, 208-207BCE.

This Enders theory is a cunning mix of lies and truths. The notion of historical greats being "sacred cows" is a dog whistle for perpetuation of the status quo. It is also error to suggest that "tradition" means anything more than lies agreed upon. Western scholarship has been shameless since its inception. The founder of the Ptolmaic dynasty, a Macedonian, would have never realized the consecration of his royal station without marriage to a woman of the Kemetyu royal lineage. This is a fact. No lilly white Cleopatra is even possible. The great General Hannibal Barca is still yet another that needs to be discovered beyond "tradition".The Carthaginian peoples, both Punic and Phoenician, also of Canaan, naturally knew Hannibal as one of their own. By today's definition an ancient Black people, having raised a still celebrated Black Man.

Ender’s Theory is most certainly intentional. I learned this to be the case as a communications major. Media, all forms, has always been used to push forward a particular narrative. Since the time of European colonization and a bit before (starting, some say, with Shakespeare) it has been used pointedly to push the narrative of so-called “white” superiority. The first well known film “Birth of a Nation” is a full blown propaganda piece that fomented one of the most die-hard terrorists groups to date…. Ender’s Theory may be “dark” but that’s only because the truth really is abominably horrific.

History KZbin likes the get outraged when someone of color plays a character they think shouldn’t be. Then go on to completely ignore whitewashing of other historical characters. It would be nice if there was some self-awareness there. Also, I’ve seen a dumb argument crop up a lot. The one where people say, if such and such person was of this complexion why didn’t anyone mention it in accounts? This shows a lack of understanding history and how racism (the way we view it today) is only about 500 years old.

William Wallace and Robert Bruce were both of Anglo-Norman stock, and are often put on pedestals because their heritage is more agreeable with Anglicized audiences. Ethiopia also has a vibrant and decently documented history, but is also ignored by Hollywood as a source of good uplifting narratives.

@admirekashiri9879. My very thoughts!! These theses & themes of study should be examined more thoroughly, beginning at the undergrad level of film studies-& progressing from there. So-titled “Enders Theory” derives its roots from the published works of Donald Bogle, Henry Turner Ward, Frantz Fanon & others of earlier eras, exploring literature & and theatrical propaganda widely-disseminated in the 20th century, under which Black & Afrikan centrism found themselves relegated. “Tragic mulatto” themes of Chesnutt, Toomer, Richard Wright, & others come to mind. But it’s not realistic to anticipate “DEI” treatments or any other concessions really, from persons long-embattled & long-enriched by mostly anti-Black/Black-omission qualities in productions. Only the people of Afrikan origin have any real interest or responsibility to THEIR young to present their historical mandates as ancestry would have it-for the betterment & self-respect required in order to entirely detach from subjugation as a thought-action perspective. European mythology has done no less for its descendants, regardless of truth or accuracy in films/plays. Doing so with Truth as a precept is now imperative in order for Black people to dispel self-lying, self-deception re: systemics & global power dynamics. Film majors & performing artists in the future have no currency to gain by falling for “opportunity” scams, “big money” scams foisted onto previous Gens by The System’s own industry. That is one thing that Tyler Perry & Katt Williams have understood correctly: if you want advancement of meaning & integrity, while Nonwhite in the System of Injustice/Racism, you must solve the fundamental problem of R/WS by severing its stranglehold. It was only ever intended to “benefit” one grouping of people, from its inception until now. And if there is one grouping that cannot be imposed-upon, forced-into, bought/begged-into, (except in complete subordination) it is absolutely theirs, no competition.

We do need to think about how black actors are cast in roles for large Hollywood productions. Anyone who has ever tried to act in any theatre production knows how hard it is to get cast in a meaningful , substantial roles. Perhaps we should be grateful for Denzel Washington to have this role because it is not the final destination but a step along the way to greater acceptance of black actors in Hollywood. I am thinking of Kirk Russell or Issur Danielovitch Demsky in the 1960 role of Spartacus. He acted under an alias because The United States was not friendly to a leading man whose last name was Demsky. Michael Douglas , Kirk Douglas' son never went back to being Demsky, either. Denzel Washington got to keep his original name and he is getting substantial leading roles. He has been in the industry for over 40 years . What has he learned?

How big hollywood studios rather shoehorn Black characters in racially ambiguous roles instead of telling authentic African stories is what I'm having a hard time understanding. While there is no evidence of how Hannibal actually looked like, and he was of course darker skinned than the regular Roman, he was a Phoenician, which means he would look closer to modern day Semitic people. It reminds of The Woman King movie, and their depiction of the Dahomey warriors and watering down the truth of their involvement in the slave trade on purpose, so people actually find it out for themselves and continue the unfavorable view of Africans and Africans of the time.

Pétion offered Bolívar 1,000 rifles, ammunition, and other supplies; he also provided hundreds of Haitian sailors and soldiers who had fought in the Haitian Revolutionary War. The offering came with one condition: Bolívar had to abolish slavery in South America when he founded a new republic; Bolívar agreed. He and his army once again took on Spain - returning to Haiti a second time for assistance - and triumphantly declared Venezuela an independent country in 1821. After later defeating Spain across South America, Bolívar declared himself president of Gran Colombia (present-day Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador), Peru, and Bolivia. Foreshadowing Latin America’s present relationship to Haiti, Bolívar broke his promise to Pétion. Rather than wholly abolishing slavery, Bolívar sought to maintain Latin America’s racial and class heirarchy so that white elites like himself would not fall to a “pardocracia,” a so-called mulatto takeover.

@thevisitor1012 Not exactly, they gave us what we wanted on the surface, but delving deeper, the King was stvpid and didn't care for Black people as a whole, The white man (the actual enemy) was made the savoir, and Killmonger the actual hero was made the villain just because his methods and views were seen as extreme even tho what his plans were... were definitely necessary with "Black Freedom" being his goal. He wasn't evil, he only treated brainwashed Blacks as the enemy, I doubt he would've done that to any Black person who wanted the same thing. Even Nat Turner was the same way, if I remember correctly, was he not the same brotha who suggested that anyone who wasn't down with the revolution be kill3d? Wakanda Forever was more of the same bs, just without Black men, and this time the Mexican character the actual enemy was the nonsensical hero.

The coin you mentioned is Etruscan. It is wrong to assume it’s Hannibal because we know the Barca family is an imperial Punic Dynasty from Phoencia and we have the coins of his father, Hamilcar, and his brother, Hasdrubal - both phenotypes of a near easterner. The coin you referenced is depicting an obscure figure lost to history, likely minted before the time of Hannibal. Your Enders Theory is quite convincing though. Until I see an accurate representation of a black historical figure overcoming obstacles, you may be right.

One thing Ender's Theory and this video on casting doesn't touch on is the perspective of actors. Actors love a good juicey drama and multilayered characters, tragic figures such as the ones mentioned in this video provides that. There's a reason that white actors have competed for the opportunity to play these tragic figures for generations. The recent Cleopatra adaptation touches on so many things. The producers and director of that series are African American woman who grew up with the belief that Cleopatra being an African Queen = their phenotype. Studying the Hows & Whys of films turning out the way they do is as complex as studying history since there are so many moving parts and individuals with their own desires and goals at play. I would agree that NOT telling stories of unambiguously Black/African historical figures who triumphed (and it not be misery porn) IS an ACTIVE CHOICE by the still predominantly white Hollywood/culture makers. The deliberate choice of omission does shape the lens general audiences view the depictions of Black/African characters, both intentionally and not.
@opakular6 ай бұрын
That's an intriguing theory and it aligns well with my suspicion that Hollywood feels more comfortable seeing black people losing. This might explain why momentous events in history where black people won battles and wars against outsiders have yet to reach the small and big screens. The Haitian Revolution, the Battle of Kitombi where two Bakongo kingdoms repelled a Portuguese attempt to conquer Kongo, the Kongolese defeat of a Portuguese army resulting in the return of Kongolese captives pressed into overseas slavery, the Kandace that repelled a Roman invasion, the Nubian archers that turned back successive Arab incursions, the Marron's fight against the British. These were successful African military victories that should be cinematized.

The Majority of them at the time most likely never even knew that Africa even existed. Not only that, they take all of nothern and Western Europe, lump it all together and claim it as their history but if Africans do the same thing with Africa, they get their panties in a bunch.

After all they have been here for thousands of years ( Not hundreds, like those who came later) before other cultures were developed and begin to tell their stories , write their books and print their currency, and make statues or busts of their images, thus their history, Africans, already had rich ,thriving lives, were intelligent, and established enough to sail themselves around the world, establishing other civilizations.

Nobody has ever had the littler hint he was black, because Chartaginians, Tunisians, Lebanese, Phoenicians, and the entire present and ancient north africans, have never been black

@TheVinci19 that sounds like wishful thinking. Africans are not actually strangers to their own continent.

@@maryamkim1281 what does it mean? never said that. Africans are not the same. If you said that Finns in ancient times inhabited Sicily, I'd laugh. It's the same: in ancient times, black never inhabited north Africa. I guess you'd like your people had done something remarkable or important, unfortunately it's never happened

I mean, I’d like to preface by saying I in no way, shape or form care to intentionally or inadvertently practice protectionism, especially when it comes to Racists & their Racism. With that said, while I acknowledge the trajectory the claim of this video is aiming, it behooves me to highlight that there are stories like Braveheart, Gladiator, & Troy which have their heroes die in the end. It’s an unfortunate, tragic tale for a lot of legends. Death is inevitable, to begin with. A lot of our heroes are martyred. I mean, technically, Jesus was martyred but he had a Resurrection Cheat Code, so 🤷🏾♂️. In any case, people die in epic stories some times. It is what it is.

Tunisia before the Arabs. "The Berber culture in Tunisia is said to be the oldest culture in the region. The roots and tradition are some of the most ancient and still practiced today. In 2011, Tunisia held the inauguration of the Tunisian Amazigh (Berber) Culture Association. It’s the first association focus on the Berbers and the Amazigh culture in Tunisia. The association has the purpose to preserve the Berber villages, culture, and language that hasn’t completely vanished from Tunisia." From: Berber Culture in Tunisia Mosaic North Africa -------------------------- So is it more likely Hannibal had a Berber appearance?
