Reinas de África: Njinga

Jada Smith yet again is going full throttle with the non-sense. Wrong accents, wrong names, everything about this "documentary" is false.

If you are so supportive of Africans, why did you not go and hire true Africans for the roles instead of British actors with a dark skin tone? Because it's the dark skin tone you're after, not the truth.

You could have hired real African men and women, gave them an opportunity, and the show would have had, maybe, a chance. But I guess we're all here following what "her grandma told her"

The name of the show tells you everything about what's going on in Jada's isolated head... African - Queens. That's all she's trying to prove, one way or another, and she's failing. Miserably.

Way to go dumping your money down the drain... again.

Way to go showing your, and your grandma's ignorance to the world.

This time, Will can't stop keeping your name and your failures apart.

To all the posters on here that are criticizing with their double standards about the Portuguese not being the first to practice slavery on Africa and that Africans practiced slavery on their own. It's not possible to relativize the one with the other. Get off your high horse people!

Victim blaming serves to create psychological distance between the blamer and it occurs when the victim of a crime or any wrongful act is held entirely or partially at fault for the harm that befell them. The victim blaming serves no one. There is no justification or excuse.

Slavery, forced labor and human trafficking are violations of human rights because these acts strip human beings of their inherent rights. Period!

I am an American Black woman and can only say that I would be sad if series like these stopped. I am always a second away from unsubscribing from Netflix, but these series (Queen Njinga & Cleopatra), Queen Charlotte, and Bridgerton are what keep me here. I wouldn't dare say what is or isn't accurate for countless reasons... I will say that these type of series awaken curiosity... and often the reason they inflate the impact of the character in these shows and movies is because there is a need to counteract the unbelievable negative brainwashing and imagery we've been exposed to since... the beginning of American history. I'm so glad that everyone is speaking freely about how they feel about these shows... mainly because I'm so glad these type of shows exist.

The narrator should be African, to tell our stories from the correct perspective.

African names must be pronounced in our language and intonation because they carry deep meanings.

Smacks of a colonial perspective when everyone, apart from the actors is non-African.

Expected better from Netflix.

Netflix, Africa must tell her own stories. That is a deal breaker. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the foreign telling of our history.

Glad you have begun to share our stories pre and post slavery and the fact that's we fought for our freedom and independence for over 400 years.

Some of us are still fighting today.

This show seems like someone was not happy about history, so they just decided to ignore it and invent their own stories and outcast their imaginations as the "untold stories about African Queens" It is difficult to critique this kind of show because of its intriguing title and polarized context, despite being filled with so many lies and hoaxes.

They have a strong layer of protection and defensiveness against criticism due to cultural appropriation and political correctness. The minute you post your opinion, it's either deleted or banned because someone is very much attached to their "sensitive" and "fragile" feeling and brutally attack back, and of course "win".

This show is just lies that have been delivered to the public as truths. It shouldn't be praised, and the project should be shut down completely.
