That thing with Cleopatra in Netflix

The thing with the black Cleopatra is that it shows how we black suffer from the same shortsightedness as the white folks; since they have multiple cases of miss representation, and the war against it has been bloody. True is white people blackface anything they need or want, in order to at least appear more accurate; but that’s not a need for this Jada Pinkett fiasco, since the basis here is that Egyptians were black.

That’s even partially true, because the XXV dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs were Kushites; that means, actual Sudanese people, darks as the deepest night. But it is also true that Cleopatra was not even ethnically Egyptian but Greek (Macedonian); so this inaccuracy is related to that other problem of skin dysmorphia, understandable in a race so despised as the blacks in America. Of course we may claim that some people grow over they childhood traumas and struggles, becoming reasonable adults; but that’s not the natural case in that elite specialized in stupidity, like the cronies of art industry in America; who live of those traumas, and this fear —as the devil— of a solution that prompts them to actual jobs.

It’s not like that industry doesn’t enslave them, as the church with their religious orders and priesthood; but it precisely lures them with this idea that they’re not working but teaching us with their superiority, in exchange of a bunch of devalued printed paper. So that’s how we got these superficial personalities, so empties that need to hook to any narrative they can understand; which by the way, can’t be too deep, or they would not be able of that understanding.

That’s the case of those blacks, who need the fat walls of the pyramids to feel greats like the Greeks they love; simply because they can’t understand the hermeneutical complexity of sub-Saharan  cosmologies, as they can’t believe there is subtlety in cults. Of course that’s their ineptitude, but they are the ones with access to that money, for which they have to produce anything; it’s not that they need to produce something solid but that appears solid enough, and nothing like this appearance of deepness in an Egyptian link.

That’s not new, it’s even a tradition started by African scholars, who dismissed their own cosmologies; trying to thicken their divination systems with that Egyptian link, without see the mistake of reducing those systems to the same practice of divination. A religious complex is an hermeneutical order for existential references, with practical subproducts like the divination and magic implicit on it; but those scholars are from a time of European rational positivism. That explain why those scholars couldn’t understand the deep scope of their cosmology, if even Europeans couldn’t understand theirs; worse still in a case of frank stupidity, like this of the crony elite of Hollywood celebrities, as Jada Pinkett and Netflix.

At the end, those scholars have had the time to correct their inputs, because they rely in science; but that’s not the case of these celebrities of today, who doesn’t have had that time, nor they rely in science either. Anyway, the worst part of stupidity is the arrogance, and so that’s the problem with this celebrity’s elitism; as the actress who impersonates Cleopatra called the critics to simply don’t see the program. That’s just why Capitalism is so important, as is the market what sets the rationality and not the other way around; something that may looks superficial now because it’s just a mediocre art, but that would be too late when reaching actual politics and economy.

It looks like that arrogance was a response to abusive criticisms, but it’s still arrogance and shows the failure to understand reality; and so those abusive criticisms were stimulated precisely for that arrogance, as a proof of its counter productivity. That’s then the problem with dysmorphia as a root of political  legitimacy, because it solves nothing but complicates everything; as —as elders and traditions always say— it’s better the dignity of self-growth and acceptance, even if the situation is not too inviting.
