As someone who is west African and from the specific area where this movie is based off I’m sure those who play identity politics will be happy to know that I’m on their side.

For those who don’t know what is identity politics look at it like this, if you are potatoes you should make laws for potatoes and only you can give the opinion of potatoes.

So the woman king about a west African tribe should be something I am allowed to talk about. If you were expecting a movie review, I’m sorry I really do not have that for you, I’m really giving a political review to say the truth because the movie became a central point for politics. When it was Boycotted and because of its story.

In response, it appears that the Co-star of the movie Viola Davis is well aware of the historical inaccuracy of the movie but still went ahead with the movie.

What are these inaccuracies, the Dahomey tribe was involved in the slave trade, not like that is really a big deal. If your ancestors lived in some places in Africa after the slave trade, odds are they were selling slaves to the whites.

So what the problem is there is really no problem, it is the fact that the french were trying to free slaves from the Dahomey tribe and in the movie they made it seem as if they were fighting for the slaves. That is the level of inaccuracy, to flip the script on its head is a very evil thing to do. It will just make the hatred between races even more.

But what has been shown countless times is that so long as black people can continue hating white people these people at the top have power. What power is that? The power to make them riot, destroy property, stay angry, and be used as foot soldiers for their wrongdoings.

But in addition to all that was going on in this tribe, the protesters of the movie also count that this tribe also did human sacrifice and where they would carry the body parts of the slaves they had a home as trophies.

If this is the history that existed, it is safe to say that nobody really wants to see it being replayed. But simply because the story has never be remade the movie makers took it and tried to sell a dangerious lie.

They covered it in another lie, the girl-boss/woman warrior. Why this is a lie is that most women really do not want to be CEOs at least when they find out what it entails (80hours or more of work per week for years). I argue most because in our society today there is nothing stopping women from attaining these heights but they simply do not want to.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that women can't do it. I am saying that the women who can do not make up the majority. You are just more likely to find men who can and are willing to and less likely to find the women who are. Across time and across cultures.

In addition, the Matriachial society that existed in the Dahomey kingdom only existed after several wars where the men died and the women had to fight. In the real war, the Dahomey tribe was cleared out in a few hours by the french army and over 1,500 slaves were freed.

What do I want?

I just want the truth. But seeing as the truth will not be appreciated then leave history alone. I remember talking about how the little mermaid movie was made black, this story is making people look bad.

Some people will come to the defence of the movie saying that “people can think for themselves” and I agree, but let them read the history of these people before consuming this content, especially as it is based on the opposite of what actually happened.

I also want to make it clear that black people to realise that we have an internal problem. We are killing ourselves and hiding our bodies. The media is helping us do it and it's sad.
