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

Cleopatra and Marc Antony, from a coin minted by their government 2,000 years ago. Remarkably, even back then, racists were trying not to make her look like the African-American woman she really was. They made both rulers look Greek.
Similarly, in this digital portrait generated from Roman sculptures and a painting done in her lifetime, we also find that Cleopatra's African-American features have been suppressed by the Romans and the Egyptian artist. Again Cleopatra looks Greek, which is just silly, since we all know that she was Egyptian, and that Egypt is in Africa. Even her crown (which I've found in other works) is in the Macedonian (Greek) style.

I'd be in total support of a black actress portraying Cleopatra, as long as the black community was willing to pay reparations to the descendants of the Israelite slaves they forced to build the pyramids :-)
Reparations for Israel!! Pay up Al & Jesse!

There’s a statue of Cleopatra at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It (she) is quite beautiful. It shows her as having kinked hair. I asked an Egyptian about this. She said Cleopatra wore a wig of kinked hair to honor her Nubian subjects.

Cleopatra was of the Greek Ptolemy family, was she not?
She was not a nubian.
Jolie is a good fit- an unstable emotionally needy narccissist.

Lissenup, VRWC Racists!
An inexperienced mulatto teleprompter reader was cast to play the POTUS role in the Soros Production, "The End of America," and you guys are fighting for Angelina Jolie?
Of course Cleopatra was of African ancestry. Every Black Liberation Preacher knows that much. Proof? You want proof?
After her reign, Egypt became a Roman colony. After Obama's reign, we shall become a Chinese colony.

Here's the official census definition:
"White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as "White" or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish."
Now where is Egypt again?
If she had immigrated to our shores, we would count Cleopatra as....

It's all about race, gender, class.
Besides, I understand that Cleopatra was a healthy, curvaceous woman.

Stupid morons. Cleopatra was Greek-Macedonian of the Ptolemies line not some black chick.
