Emperor Macrinus: The Roman Emperor Denzel Washington Portrays in Gladiator 2

[@courtneywalcott513]

My Algerian work colleague says his mother’s side of Berbers were originally black. He seemed confident in everything he shared with me.

Boy this killing y’all

[@carterdjohnson9673]

Rome began as a mixed group, the end of the Etruscans was the beginning of Rome. Hollywood and western historians made Rome Caucasian which is an untruth. realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Etruria_the_Etruscans_2.htm

[@antonyford6225]

If only Denz could have changed his ( usual ) accent for this role

[@antonyford6225]

Aye!! A good actor.. but never ever changes his accent/ tone of voice or expression. However, he is not the only one. Are we the public so dumbed out on whatever that we fail to recognise the aforementioned ?

[@DenisColeman-r8r]

Anytime a blackman is shown as great in history, folks have a issue with it. I Love it because they deserve to be known . And he was black . Smart, intelligent, and wise man .

[@draoi99]

The chances that he resembled Denzel Washington in appearance are essentially NIL. The Roman Empire had colonies all along the coast of North Africa, people like Scipio Africanus were not African at all. Even if he had some Berber ancestry, he would still look like an Italian because he came from a Roman colony.

[@jerrykelley9266]

He was terrible. Somewhat should’ve told Denzel they don’t do pimp walks in the Roman days..

[@HangoverBaby18]

Personal opinion... I thought he was phenomenal in the role

[@SeanRCope]

People want movies with footnotes now? Read a book in a library, watch a movie in a Cinema. Remember? Or you just like arguing for clicks?

[@billykid739]

Lucius killed him, cutting off his right hand, stabbing him in another. Nevertheless . It’s a good character, Denzel Washington played the character quite well

[@errolllewis9062]

They're from Carthage

[@andregonzalez1496]

Rome was the enemy of Carthage , the enemy of Carthage is my enemy !!!!!

[@byronjeffery2576]

Damn rome had a Black Emperor? Wow!

[@malikrahim-ei1vd]

Rome never had a Black Emperor. There were black people who had ecclesiastic authority over Rome which was given by way of donation of Constatine from 4th century through 6th century. Taken back by Justinian I, after the world's first Christian church was built. Black ancient Egyptians never participated in that garbage fighting. This is why you will never see war weapons in their painting, writing, or gods.

[@iancaldeian]

It’s like Trump saying Obama isn’t really an American president.

How? The y'all forgot that Africans in their lands, no other people were there. It was the Greeks and Romans who first raped North and Northeast Africa for 1000 years before a arab or the word itself existed. Arabs came into North Africa and Northeast in 600 AD because they are not B.C. people. If you Europeans had managed to wipe out the people of Monomotapa today corrupted to South Africa, today Europeans would be fighting and lying who were the indigenous people of the land. But they can't, so what are they trying to do now? They are trying to create a country inside South Africa just like their relatives in Colchia corrupted to Israel today. And yes, the COLCHIANS were Africans. You go read the Greek historians Herodotus, the eyewitnesses saying, " COLCHIANS,EGYPTIANS,AND ETHIOPIANS HAVE THICK LIPS,BROAD NOSE,WOOLLY HAIR AND BURNT SKIN". The Romans' historians and writer Josephus say the same thing. Also, to educate you, they were not called carthagenian, but Khart-Haddans. These were the same Africans who became Moore and invaded Europe. They had already invaded it before, but they were chased out by the Germanic. And when to invade again as Moores. Also, the first ever pale people invaded North and Northeast Africa were the Oxus people or Shepherd kings in 1675 B.C.E, not pale people or arabs were near Northeast and North Africa not even West Asia. So, it's not about Blackfication everywhere. Also, black doesn't have any ancient history whatsoever it came in the 14 century. Its original lower form language is Germanic. No people are white but pale and different shades of pale people.

[@MrAmhara]

He was Black.

[@grumpygregory3095]

But remember they say Jesus was black to. 😂
