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.

Yes, Virginia.
So true. I just discovered by watching the recent movie, “Mary, Queen of Scots,” that her prime minister, Lord Darmley, was black, as were her black and Asian ladies-in-waiting, and much of the population of Scotland at the time.
What a relief to find out that all those contemporary portraits of Lord Darmley are really just deceptive attempts to further white supremacy!!!!
I’d wait forever for my gal, Gadot.
Supreme Beauty Alert. Code Red.
Ouch. She hurts me. Hurts me bad.
You’re right; he was in the remake.
And gay, gay, gay...everybody's gay...at least on every TV program these days.
From what I remember, it was Macedonian Greece and Ptolemy.
The people who speak of cultural appropriation the most, are the most guilty of it.
Great music!!
Thanks for posting
I was about to send similar information to wbarmy. Northern rulers periodically sailed/rowed south to keep the southerners in their place with warfare. However, with weak leaders or chaotic conditions the south sometimes took over. I guess floating north was easier.
I recently saw a documentary about searching for Hannibal’s crossing the Alps. Showed ancient busts of him and his father, Hamilcar, both clearly NOT black Africans although Carthage was in north Africa.
The Ethiopians or Nubians might have had the upper-hand for awhile, but they were not Egyptians. Egyptians were and are Semitic Arabs.
If you do not believe me, go tell one of them they are black. Just like the Sicilians!

Same with Ant Woman. So many have her as a Red Ant, when she obviously is a Black Ant!
This is not so ridiculous as it will become. The previous idiocy must always be topped. There is no end point, no point at which the offended realize the pure ignorance they spout..
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.Frontpage Interview with Dr. Theodore Dalrymple: Our Culture, What’s Left Of It interviewed by Jamie Glazov [August 31, 2005]
