No one ever claimed it was historically accurate--the point is that the fictional tale is one about Greek warriors embarking on war under the pretext that a Greek woman was kidnapped. Portraying that woman as an African is as silly and stupid as portraying her as a Comanche Indian , Eskimo or Japanese Geisha.
We shouldn't be surprised by the portrayal of Helen as a black African woman. We live in a society overrun by hoards of racism junkies who not only derive an utterly false and counterfeit sense of virtue and moral superiority by protraying Helen in a way that no one for the past 3000 years ever imagined but also take a great deal of satisfaction watching others bend there knee to their Woke virtue trip. And Nolan DID bend his knee--he knew just as well as we know that the movie had absolutely ZERO chance of winning any awards unless he danced to their tune and put a black in the movie
The fact that Walsh dares to challenge the portrayal is a direct threat to their sense of moral superiority and they will stop at nothing to prevent him or anyone from pulling them down off their high horse.
The late PJ O'Rourke described the virtue junkie perfectly--they claim to CARE more than you about ..( pick your cause or causes here ).. which means they are better person than you which gives them the right to force you to do and live as they say.
The great thing about it is that " CARING " requires absolutely nothing from an individual other than the outward attitude . And there is an endless number of causes and victims to care for which gives the junkie an endless number of highs
Reminds me of another fool who repeated the same thing--over and over and over. " Dubya" -with that stupid " What Me Worry" look on his face --assuring us that Islam is a religion of peace and love while the first responders were still collecting body parts from the latest Allah Akbar attack. There was a time--not that long ago --when anyone who uttered such a demonstrably false statement---would have been shouted down as a fool and told that he might profit from spending a few hours studying not just the 1500 year history of Islam, and what it urges its believers to do , but also the reality of its current state in the world today. But that was before truth became secondary to expressing the approved thought . This Pope is, at heart, a bona fide Lefty with ALL the sentiments that the Left demands( with the possible exception of abortion ) We can be be thankful that so few people give a shit was he says .
They really just can't quite believe it. Yet. But Jews in the Democratic Party will be as rare as passenger pigeons within a decade . They will, like this disgusting POS from San Francisco, attempt to survive by becoming more and more radical Left but it wont stop their extinction . Leftist Jews can become as radical and Jew hating as Osama bin Laden in hopes of keeping their power but it wont work. Their party is firmly in the thr Allah Akbar folks and Mohammed will make no exceptions
Here’s a guy who never made a buck doing anything other than being a demagogue talking about screaming about taking other people money away The good “ Reverend “ wants the third world here .. it’s his kind of folks and they will vote for him cause he promises them all kinds of goodies. Goodies paid for by productive hard working people All you have to do is listen to Warnock for 5 minutes and you know he has the ethics and principles of Idi Amin .. and is only half as competent
@iAnonPatriot Probably done 2 dozen or more on Carnival over the last 30 years . No more. Not just because the Ghetto crowd has taken over but a noticeable decline in quality of the food , service and overall cleanliness of ship
Everytime I see Adelita I can’t help thinking she is a college sophomore majoring in some politically correct but useless subject that requires nothing more than regurgitating the current approved politically correct slogans And I also wonder just how many tortillas “ con frijoles “ she is scarfing down every day
