⚡️Comrades, Cleopatra Was Black⚡️.

At least, that is what is claimed in Netflix's new "documentary", produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, the very wife of Will Smith who cheated on him with their son's friend, who began crying "racism! racism!" in 2016 when Smith was not nominated and boycotted the Oscars (as a well-known comedian remarked even then, she wasn't invited anyway), and the very one on whose account Will Smith slapped Chris Rock last year.

Judging by the trailer, the level of expertise in the film is off the charts: take, for a start, the granny recalling the words of her great-grandmother: "Don't listen to what they tell you at school, Cleopatra was black." Of particular interest is the complete disregard, in the excerpt given, of Cleopatra's Greco-Macedonian origin: she was, after all, a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, an incomer and alien to Egypt.

For a full dose of cringe, watch the entire [trailer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IktHcPyNlv4&ref=theparnassian.com) Something between "Black Panther" without the special effects and "A Knight in Camelot" with Whoopi Goldberg.
