>The growth of Dahomey coincided with the growth of the Atlantic slave trade, and it became known to Europeans as a major supplier of slaves. As a highly militaristic kingdom constantly organised for warfare, it captured children, women, and men during wars and raids against neighboring societies, and sold them into the Atlantic slave trade in exchange for European goods such as rifles, gunpowder, fabrics, cowrie shells, tobacco, pipes, and alcohol. Other remaining captives became slaves in Dahomey, where they worked on royal plantations and were routinely mass executed in large-scale human sacrifices during the festival celebrations known as the Annual Customs of Dahomey.
Can't wait to see this historically accurate movie, bros.
Actual African history for once, I don't mind as long as they're not race bending euro figures again

>the female male
Why are white people so retarded?
Woman King is also a good song by Iron & Wine off the EP of the same name
You know in some pre colonial African societies, women who were often considered at the top of the social ladder were allowed to have multiple "wives?" Basically there own harem. But it's unknown whether the relationships were sexual or romantic. Some believe they were political.

Worst BSG episode EVER
Where are the white, asian and indian people?
Usually I onions up this board with left-wing takes but this trailer made me racist
They aren't africans, they are americans - i am willing to bet african people who watch this trailer/movie would feel offended.
They’re going to make all the slaver owners and ship owners white, not Jewish, so I’m not watching
Look at the top of her head
Now this movie looks cool.
So white Americans aren't allowed to make historical pieces about their homeland?
Nobody said that.
There have been women kings though. Jadwiga of Poland was a king yet was also a woman
