Were not blacks at the time called Nubians?

That makes a little sense on both of them. The teeth and mouth were certainly inherited in that gene pool

She’s really been in a knot over this oil thingy.

Reality is such a pesky thing!

Yes, that too. Agreed. She has this natural sensuality about her, and I hope they realize that + her acting capabilities can carry the movie through without any gratuitous scenes.

>>I just tell her she’s on the road to becoming her mom. Slowly but surely.

That prediction begins as an insult, but over time it becomes settled as a realization...we can alter only so much.

‘Honestly, I don’t care how full Angelina Jolie’s lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman.’

Holy moly, how racist can you get? That is just an outrageous statement.

LOL!
It just is what it is.

“Who’s slated for Marc A.?”

James Earl Jones

No, James Earl Jones is already committed to playing Erik the Red in a movie about the Vikings.

Yes Cleopatra was a Greek, and these ignorant morons who want her to be Black are too stupid to figure it out. They are the same mental defectives who believe the ancient Egyptians flew airplanes and used ESP.

Race whores need to get a life--and a real job, like cleaning public toilets--that correlates with their intelligence.

Tea Partiers.

I think Jolie would be perfect for this. She’s got the face.

Maybe they just hate her daddy.

An Essence Magazine online story asks, 'Another White Actress to Play Cleopatra?'

This, and the various controversies over the term "black hole" should be embarrassing and humiliating to the people who are saying these incredibly stupid things. But they aren't.

Being a permanent, professional victim frees you from any sense of shame, ever.

LOL!

I know they’re tea partiers - I’m just making fun of their ugliness - while they, in turn, accuse everyone else of being ugly.

Where does this Egyptian=black thing come from? Modern day Egyptians aren’t black.

I have a feeling this has more to do with who (and what) Jolie’s father is than her race or skin color. Hollywood does, afer all, have a (pardon pun) black list for those of the conservative persuasion.

If I remember my history correctly the Egyptians had Nubian slaves who became slaves by means of losing a war to them. (but it also happened the other way around when the Egyptians got conquered.)

I can’t wait to hear someone claim that Cleopatra was African-American.
