The goal is to "empower" black women by talking about the Dahomey Amazons, a bunch of African women who fought against whitey

Btw, I don't know how they'll distort the events to make their progressive movie, but here's how things really occured

>On October 6, the French had another major encounter with the Fon at the village of Adégon.[10] The Fon, again, fared badly, losing 86 Dahomey Regulars and 417 Dahomey Amazons.[10]

>The French suffered six dead and another 32 wounded before the fighting was ended.[10] The French made use of a bayonet charge, which inflicted the lion's share of Dahomey's casualties.[10]

>The Battle was a turning point in the mind of Dahomey. The royal court decided that there would be no victory for Dahomey.[10] The battle was also significant in that much of Dahomey's Amazon corps was lost in the engagement.[10]

It's also funny because the Dahomeys were slavers and the surrounding African tribes asked the French for help to prevent the Dahomey taking them as slaves.

How are they going to portray the African slave Empire that was Dahomey?
Skip over the fact that Africans had been enslaving themselves for hundreds of years before White folks showed up?

Fucking this

Holy fuck
That's even more humiliating for Africans than Rorke's Drift
Will they really make a movie on this?

>Dahomey continued raiding the town, which culminated in an incident that brought the Fon and French into war. In March 1889, Dahomey attacked a village on the Ouémé where a village chief under the protection of the French.[3] After remarking that the flag of the tri-color would protect him, the Fon commanded one of his Dahomey Amazons to behead him and wrap his head in the flag.[3] Then in March of that year, France sent a mission to Dahomey's capital of Abomey to assert its claims to Cotonou and offer an annual payment.[2] The crown prince and later king Béhanzin received the mission but nothing was achieved other than mutual distrust.[2]

This is no more than you deserve. You sucked free market cock so hard and now you get to live with the consequences.

Enjoy having these movies spammed for the next decade because muh gorillion shekels

>The goal is to "empower" black women by talking about the Dahomey Amazons
Please, when doing movies, especially historical, KEEP POLITICS OUT.

Dude, most of this sort of uber progressive oh so inclusive tripe doesn't actually sell. The only exception to this is the Black Panther movie and that one is about appealing to black people only.

>Lupita Nyong'o
>playing another West African

Is Hollywood aware that Nilotic and West African people are different? I mean, I love Lupita and all, but I think they should at least try to be accurate on this one.

You wish

Lupita is 70% Fon.

She's Kenyan dumbass.

>Not doing wars the Africans actually won like the Gun War or the 1st Italian Ethiopian War

She's Luo

>Dahomey
>Da Homey
Damn.. That's the blackest shit I can think to name a kingdom.

>Muh strong black womyn
>Get's bayoneted by French soldiers

Wouldnt mind seeing Pierre poking his le fusil on a defeated Dahomey

Lmao

Tbf before the bayonets became useless, the French were pretty efficient with them.

Didn't the Ethiopians win only because France or someone else dumped tens of thousands of old rifles on them?

Well they bought them

The French literally invented bayonet, so they better be good at it
