Cleopatra was of Greek decent. Just like my black arse is of African, Itialian, Native American and Mexican decent. At the end of the day Cleopatra was an AFRICAN EGYPTIAN QUEEN and shouldn't be portrayed by a white woman! Period! I said what I said. End of discussion.

All the women of Colour busy?


quote:

cleopatra was biracial so i’m asking the same thing. there are plenty of brown actresses


quote:

Neither!!! To be honest Cleopatra was a beautiful and an exotic queen of color!!!! Why why is it always white women casted to play her?!! Can we not give that role to those closer to her looks and background. I vote @JLo @halleberry or any other for a change.


quote:

why should an egyptian character be played by either of these people? is it so hard to find an egyptian or black actress?


quote:

Neither of these White women since Cleopatra was not a White woman


quote:

Idris Elba should play Cleopatra and if u disagree ur racist *and* transphobic.




Twitter 5 minutes ago: Lady Gaga can't be Cleopatra! She's not Egyptian!!!

Twitter 2 minutes ago: Oh, Cleopatra was actually Greek? Okay.

Twitter now: Cleopatra? SO overrated. Do a different queen.

Every blog tomorrow: THE 10 MOST OVERRATED QUEENS! WHERE DOES CLEOPATRA RANK?!

And now history class is in session



Yall wasnt Egyptians, yall wuz Nubians.

Retards don't understand that Egypt at the time was conquered by Alexander the Great. Cleopatra is a descendant and part of the house of Ptolemy, a Macedonian/Greek dynasty. Also there is a reason that sub-Saharan Africa has a distinction.

It's just amazing to me that they have no clue that there is a difference between Saharan and sub-Saharan Africans.

If you can't tell that comment was a joke, I don't know what to say

You really think that person wanted Idris Elba to play Cleopatra? Its a running joke that he's the black actor everyone immediately recommends to play white roles.

Why on earth do some people think Egyptians were Sub-Saharan?

They weren’t then and aren’t now.

You can't just repeat almost word for word from the OP and act all smart.
