Facts do not matter. Egyptians should be happy they did not cast a tranny as Cleo

I certainly understand that the casting director would prefer to be accurate, but it shouldn't be mandatory.


Okay. I'm sure this would be considered completely acceptable.

There was no Rome without Egypt
only in the sense that rome was to big to feed itself from the surrounding area and relied on grain imports, primarily from Egypt but if Egypt didn't exist a different area would no doubt have been tapped for the grain

Although there is some debate among scholars about the specific ethnicity of Cleopatra and other members of the Ptolemaic dynasty
mostly because some of the queens came from the Seleucid Empire in Persia, but the Seleucids were also Greek, with some of their queens possibly being native Persian or from what is now Turkmenistan. So if there was any non Greek DNA in Cleopatra it was extremely minimal, and none of the sources were black Africans. Hell, if she were half native Egyptian she still wouldn't have been black African since the Egyptians also where not black, they would have largely resembled the Berbers and people who currently inhabit North Africa

Its the dishonesty.

Also they would say representation matters! as if no black person had been in a film prior to 2023. They are actively pushing division by race. And black people think they are the gatekeepers of everything now.

That garbage is why we are seeing Heineken commercials with black Vikings.

I'm so boycotting anything that pushes this kind of crap.

Kind of a piece of shite, actually, not to mention an Obama sycophant. He was forced out because he was selling artifacts on the black market.

I'm now hearing that hundreds of years ago blacks built this country from the ground up by putting their brains together and using their ingenuity

Is that true?
