White powder was very cosmetic back then. Black Napoleon powdered up to blend in.

The other OP could leastwise justify this claim with a good article.

lol If I read that on Twitter I wouldn't laugh because I wouldn't know if the user who said it was being sarcastic or not, nowadays you can never be sure.
shareAsian?
shareIt wouldn't have hurt if he was. It's a movie based on history, not a documentary.
Black people in positions of power are lacking in these Western historical movies.

Too bad no actual black people stepped up to attain power in Western history.
Why don't they make movies about actual black power figures from history instead of stealing white history with laughable race swaps?
Oh yeah... The real black stories are so unpalatable that they have to morph them into utter fantasy like "The Woman King" so they aren't glorifying characters who sold their own people into slavery. share
must be nice to live in a world as simple as the one in your brain
shareI noticed you couldn't counter what he said though (because you can't). American descendants of black slaves who (laughably) crave "reparations" need to go to their black brothers & sisters in Africa who are the descendants of those who captured their fellow blacks in the first place and sold them into transcontinental slavery for profit.
sharewhere is he wrong? they took a story about horrible brutal slavers/kidnappers and made them the sympathetic protagonists.
its like making a movie where the slave owning confederates were the good guys and justified.
you are F'n stupid.
shareSir Lenny Henry once played a Black Hitler (as a postman) in the UK TV Show The Young Ones
shareNah, Napoleon is generally considered to be a villain in history. They don't wouldn't claim him to be black. The villains can remain white it is the ones they consider heroes and/or victims, they are changed to black.
shareOnly England views Napoleon as a villain.
shareOh? I suspect the Germans (Prussians), Austrians, Spanish, and Russians -- all of whom fought Napoleon back in the day -- might regard Napoleon in a more villainous light. Especially the Russians, given that he invaded their country and burned Moscow to the ground.
shareDefinitely villain, but he is seen as great commander. Thanks to his reforms he (and the french revolutions) pushed into all the German monarchies, he created a German identity, which didn't existed before that. Without him, Germany likely had stayed more as a loosely connected federation. The general occupancy of major areas of Germany build a national consciousness which resulted more or less directly to the revolution in 1848 and then into the Wars of Unification and the German Reich. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_Germany#Dissolution_of_the_Old_Empire_by_the_Napoleonic_Continental_System
It's fascinating what this guys impact into the history of the world was up to WW2.
