10,000 B.C.

I understand your opinion of the film regarding the whole racial aspect of it. BUT, you come across as ‘guilty liberal’. Which, as a mixed person, gets annoying, because those type of people LOVE evasive language and IMO are even more racist and unaccepting than anyone else;because they choose not to acknowledge. My point being, in many cultures, and this has been the case for many centuries in many countries (in real life)....the fairer skinned will always be looked upon as the most attractive. So maybe the producers had that in mind when making the film and wanted to subliminally portray that. As harsh as it is, its reality, not just in movies, but in real life across the globe. Im sure you’re aware.

For good or bad, light skinned people generally run this planet or at least those parts of it not in complete chaos.
This film reflects the beginning of that process so really it is almost a history lesson.

The color black as far as rituals go is often correlated with death as well as red with blood. It wouldn’t make sense for their spear to be such a negative color.(And to make such an ignorant statement makes you look like a complete asshole.)I am not 100% sure if white is considered to have a connection with life, but it may. anyways point being they hunt mammoths all the time so why wouldn’t their sacred object look like it is possibly made out of mammoth tooth?

D’leh’s people seemed more like they were from Asia so they weren’t necessarily “white” although the geography in the movie is completely without context for the most part so it is impossibly hard for me to tell where they had come from. Think red skinned Native American ancestors. Not white people.

Of course you fail to completely recognize that slave trade had been going on in the Middle East the Mediterranean and Africa long before white people came along.(And made it into more of an issue of superiorty.) It seems to me that it would make sense for the slave traders to be “arabic” since they are geographically close to Egypt where the “gods” are so that they could fetch slaves from the far corners to build the pyramids.

I’m disgusted by mudslinger journalists like you who continue to constantly remind people that there are different races, when the only race we are is homo sapiens, sure we all look different and have different skin colors but it seems as though you in all your self righteousness are no better than any other racist. Fucking stupid pig go DIAF.
