Woke warriors outraged over Gal Gadot being cast as Cleopatra because she is not black are ridiculed for not knowing the Egyptian Queen was GREEK
UK Daily Mail ^ | October 12, 2020 | Karen Ruiz

Israeli actress Gal Gadot has been slammed on social media after she was cast to play Cleopatra in the upcoming historical epic about the iconic Egyptian queen.

The 35-year-old on Sunday confirmed she will play the titular role in a new movie after Paramount Pictures won the rights to the film in a bidding war between Universal, Warner Bros., Apple and Netflix.

The casting however, immediately drew outrage from confused social media users who wrongly assumed Cleopatra was black and North African.

with Astronaut Fred Haise as black !

And of course the issue in the film to overcome is not a blown O2 tank. Where its solved by the ingenuity & courage of the the NASA engineers & astronauts. Its...wait for it !....drum roll..... racism !

Everybody’s black...black,black, black. Just watch TV.

Just reclaiming their time from when everybody’s gay and/ or everybody’s trans.

The author makes the mistake of thinking North African means black....especially back then

Man you can’t make up today’s stupidity on purpose

I care when they lie

Especially as it’s part of an anti white crusade

Which sometimes results in killing my fellow whites for only that reason

So yes I care

I just saw the Seven Samurai for the first time the other night...loved it!

Definitely served as a template for countless movies...

I choose to let my blood pressure rise over things that matter. If we allow ourselves to be moved by every stupid thing reported on the internet, we would be in a constant state of agitation.

That is no way to live. 40 years ago what these people are saying would be a two column in story in a local weekly coupon newspaper. You and I would never know about it. You and I would never talk about it, or let it worry us.

There are much more important things to do with our lives.

Thats another example of liberal racism !

To the liberal mind Blacks are so crippled psychologically & emotionally that they perpetually need to be propped up by special favors and now a complete fictional history.

It’s 2020. We really need a movie about Cleopatra?

***NOTHING will be better than the Original Cleopatra movie.***

Which one? I have ones made in 1912, 1934, 1945, 1953, 1959, and 1964.
