My nigga, what the fuck did you just say?

I didn't say shit that is what was posted. I just copied and pasted the shit.

lol My bad, I just looked at the link. That niggas was so excited, he forgot to make sense.

Kinda weird to have it set in North Africa since that region is largely no black, but I give it a shot.

The series will be based on the novel Who Fears Death. A science fantasy novel by Nigerian-American writer Nnedi Okorafor, published in 2010 by DAW, an imprint of Penguin Books. It was awarded the 2011 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, as well as the 2010 Carl Brandon Kindred Award "for an outstanding work of speculative fiction dealing with race and ethnicity.

In 2017, Okorafor announced the novel was the basis for an HBO television series in "early development", with George R. R. Martin serving as an executive producer;[3] Selwyn Seyfu Hinds was chosen as scriptwriter.[4]

The novel takes place in a post-apocalyptic future version of Sudan, where the light-skinned Nuru oppress the dark-skinned Okeke. The protagonist, Onyesonwu (Igbo for "who fears death"), is an Ewu, i.e. the child of an Okeke woman raped by a Nuru man. On reaching maturity, she goes on a quest to defeat her sorcerous father Daib using her magical powers.

Not really liking the Colorism angle, but I'll still check it out.
 
I think it's dope....a good fantasy series that will have a mostly Black, if not all Black cast...

I hope N.K. Jemisin gets some love. She has a few good series.

Depends on how light they going. The light skinned people might not be black. They might look more like these people.

And then this becomes just another story about being blacks dominated by nonblacks.
