African History

Instead of taking historical European things and making them Black, it would be cool if Hollywood made actual African movies or shows. What are some interesting African history events that can become a movie or TV show?

Are Cantonese people really Han Chinese? They look more Vietnamese than Chinese in my eyes.

Many Japanese were(and are)descended from Africans, 5% is 1/2 black and 20% 1/4
Portuguese traders brought over a LOT of African slaves and because of how they were viewed as exotic, local daimyos even had them as concubines. They were mostly kept as concubines or wives by the merchant class however. Seeing how influential the merchants were in later Japan, there were more & more. Portuguese traders kept bringing them over, and the Japanese kept breeding with the African women.
This lead to there being a large minority of black Japanese.

How come Japan keeps getting attacked for "not apologizing" or "not being" honest about their conduct in WW2 yet far less to nobody attacks the Chinese for not disavowing Mao or attacks the Russkies for not rejecting Lenin with Stalin and not apologizing for all the countries they terrorized/raped?

Were the Huns who attacked Europe the Xiongnu who were driven west by the Chinese Han dynasty? Some western historians thought they were.

The incompetency of early Asian firearms

No.8373899 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Chinese gunpowder weapons were extremely awful and impractical for combat. In the 16th century, Ming China had to buy muskets from Spain and Portugal instead of using native gunpowder technology to match https://books.google.ru/books?id=esnWJkYRCJ4C&pg=PA144&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false
>In 1519, while the Portuguese awaited the outcome of their embassy, they erected buildings and stockades a few miles down the coast from Guanzhou, at Tunmen. "They relied on their firearms to maintain themselves", says one Chinese account; "each discharge of a gun made a sound like thunder."5 The Chinese were not pleased. To make matters worse, rumors spread that the Portuguese were cannibals and that they had come to China to buy small children to eat. Relations were tense.6
>The story of how the Chinese first acquired Portuguese firearms technology is reported in a Chinese source as follows:
>He Ru, the police chief of Baisha in Dongguan county, had been to the Portuguese ship before because he had been assinged to collect the customs duty. He had seen Chinese people, Yang San and Dai Ming, who had lived in that country [actually Southeast Asia] for many years and knew all about their methods for building ships, casting guns, and making gunpowder. [Wang] Hong ordered He Ru to send someone to them secretly, using the sale of alcohol and rice as a pretext, to talk with Yang San covertly, order them to defect, and give them great rewards. They happily agreed, and arranged for He Ru to secretly row a small boat to bring them to the shore.7
