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..

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.

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.

Further support for Ender’s theory is how easy it is to subconsciously or only semi consciously do it. I have no delusions that none of the execs think about this plainly, but many fall to this subconsciously because only if pressed would they admit “you can’t have the black guy win” or “it doesn’t seem realistic unless the black guy loses.” A lot of structural racism can exist because of open status quo bias/fallacy.

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.

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.

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?

Unfortunately Hollywood ignores good stories from non-Anglo-Germanic-Hellenic cultures and tends to portray them as insignificant barbarians. 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. Just think if we could get a historical movie or show that shows the fall of the Solomonic dynasty and the rise of the Zagwe with all the political intrigue such a narrative has to offer! One can only hope!

@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.

There's so much truth to what you're saying. Your channel is literally filled with some of the most amazing African stories, many of which unknown to the general public. 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.

It is very disappointing that people still have not understood that the "Mediterranean type" is a range that resulted from centuries of mixing throughout the Mediterranean Basin, extending into the Aegean, Adriatic and Ionian Seas. That is a monster mix potential! And, as humans so are, they most definitely tested one another out as partners. The tendency to erect racial boundaries along geographical lines, is pretty much modern foolishness.

Awe, I miss the extended intro! Nice work.

If you have to keep hammering to another group of people that no matter what they do, they will lose or, that they have no worth, it means you fear that group of people because you at your core are jealous of them because you see their greatness and feel inferior to that group of people. Otherwise, you'd just chill and live happily, like us. It's sad really. As for Othello and Macbeth, it's Shakespeare. Most actors want to play those characters as a test of their craft. Hannibal is being done by Antoine Fuqua(sp) so I think he wants a portrayal of Hannibal that seems plausible. Great video.

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.

Excellent video

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.

I have now sourced your youtube video for the world to see on my Disqus.

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.

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.
