To the ignoramus Essence magazine: Cleopatra was Greek. Her ancestor was a general under Alexander the Great and became pharaoh of Egypt.

Macedonian. Silly Macedonians, they think there’s a difference between Greek and Macedonian. (grin)

I just hope Jolie doesn’t bring back that awful accent she used while portraying Olympia in the movie Alexander.

But this statement has angered members of the African American community. Who are these members? Why do they remain nameless? I want to know them by name so that I can laugh in their face because they are STUPID.
Read your HISORY, you bunch of Dumb Sh*ts!

A black woman? *sigh* what ignorance... Cleopatra was part of the Ptolemaic line.

DNA studies move ahead on all fronts. No doubt there will be a definitive answer in the long run.
There's been a cottage industry in "black studies" over the question of whether or not the Greek's had African ancestry of course, but that's not quite what is driving this particular issue.
Mummies are available for analysis and as Ptolamy family members are identified, the question of Cleopatra's ancestry can be dealt with.

this should be good.
I remember the most virulent conversation I got into with a black (and very conscious of it) coworker when I pointed out that Cleopatra was a Ptolemy. He got very angry.

The real Cleo (as represented on a coin from her time) was a supremely ugly woman.

“To the ignoramus Essence magazine: Cleopatra was Greek”
That was pretty much the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the article: She wasn’t Egyptian, she was Greek.
BTW, off the subject a bit, but the funniest mis-casting of a role I think I’ve ever seen was in a low budget 60’s film called “Che!”. Omar Shariff portrayed Che, but Castro’s part was played by none other than Jack Palance. Hilarious.

Essence magazine is staffed by dumbasses.
Here's the famous bust of Nefertiti, wife of Ankhnaten.
It seriously frosts me that these media cretins are parading their appalling, ignorant racism to the world and expecting an apology from reality.

No editors, no software even, nothing caught such an obvious grammatical error???
Should 'OF' -- should be: should "HAVE"
OF is a preposition, not a verb.
