Are there any black people in Game of Thrones?

[NoMayo15]

Never said the characters weren't compelling or fleshed out, but (outside of Jon and maybe Sansa I guess)I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of most of the current crop. I wouldn't call it a gripe, I consider The Wire, Breaking Bad, and The Sopranos some of the best tv of all time and I felt the same way about them. Walter White and Tony Soprano are fantastic characters in terms of writing, but they're not ones I would root or "stan" for, at least imo. I concede that unlikeable may have been the wrong word to use.

In terms of the topic at hand, again, I never cared about Black representation in GoT much at all. We could use more empowering, positive fantasy fare at the moment, like Black Panther was. In fact, I would like to see more Afro futurism explored in live action. It's a new frontier that really hasn't been mined yet and so much potential is there.

Fair enough. Personally I love all the House Lannister characters, but maybe it's because I love a good villian.

I would say Tywin, Tyrion, and Jaime are all good characters. Sure, they're willing to kill people or have people killed but they see it as a means to protect themselves and their family. Nothing scummy about that.

I'm confused, wasn't all @Everythingg saying was that there may have been some African presence in Habsburg or w/e it's called? I don't think he said that the people itself were all indigenous Africans. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's just like when people get into the argument about Africans in the Americas. Seems like one group is saying that there may have been some Africans that got there while the other is emphatically and fervidly denouncing that Africans are indigenous to the Americas, a point that I don't think the former party was making(to my understanding).

There’s no evidence for Hapsburgs (if you weren’t aware they are familial dynasty that ruled various parts of Europe) being of African origin, unlike say the Siddi Kings of Sachin located in India. When I asked him to produce peer reviewed academic literature, he began describing academia as a white practice although African scholars like Cheikh Anta Diop have written peer reviewed studies for decades. Overall, a sad deflection.

A lot of Black people in the diaspora like to place fake African origins on various peoples because they’re insecure about their own heritage. I called him out on his insecurities and lack of evidence for his claims. No wonder he’s in the red.

I’m (ignorantly) knocking folks for fanatically watching ... there’s nothing in Thrones meant for consistent , black consumption.

How do you determine what is for black consumption?

I’m not of the opinion that anyone but the first ones in the land should referred to as indigenous of said land. So black people can’t be found in America first and be called Africans while Euros get to come to America and be referred to as Americans. Same with Europe. If anyone is gonna be called the European it should be the people found there first and that would be people of color.

What sense does it make to call people who came later, the indigenous and not the people there first? Later are we gonna say the cacs in South Africa are African and the people who were there first are not? That clown sees what cacs did to Egypt and thinks they stopped there with the whitewashing of Black kingdoms

Here we go again. People getting upset at a CAC freeing a bunch of CACS that happen to be in the desert. And getting upset because a CAC writer focus on his people when developing an epic fantasy. You don't have to like it, but getting upset about it is pointless. We have to create our own fantasies and create our own networks /movie studio a to push it. In the mean time propel gonna enjoy what they want
