Cleopatra was a Ptolemy. She was Greek.

Look, if today’s SJWs say Cleopatra looked like Aunt Jemima, she looked like Aunt Jemima, ok?

Caption from the article:

"Gadot confirmed the news in a tweet on Sunday, while sharing a photo of the iconic Egyptian ruler"

I was not aware there were any photos of Cleopatra.

People who believe Cleopatra was black also believe that “Coming to America “ is a historically accurate movie

Actually, it doesn’t matter one way or the other. The Egyptians were not black either. They were Arabic, swarthy and Semitic. No blacks need apply.

Unless you want to do fantasy.

Cleopatra was also a redhead. Gal Galdot is in fact darker complexioned, not lighter, than the real thing.

Even the Greek part doesn’t matter. . The Egyptians weren’t sub-Saharan Africans. They seem to have come from the Mesopotamian area and weren’t black.

Despite how stupid this is lots of groups have fake histories they try to push. This is just another one.

Who cares what race she is (either "she" here, actress or historical figure)? Isn't it somewhat racist to say it matters?

The real story is Gal Godot. She is very near the top of my list of attractive actresses. I don't go see many films in theaters (none for many months now - can't remember the last one) but if this is done well I'll go to see Ms Gadot...

Greek is not a race.

I understand she wasn’t black either.

Who really cares. She must have been a hottie as everyone was about getting with her.

And Gal is pretty cute to.

I’m surprised Moslems haven’t expressed outrage about Cleopatra being portrayed by a Jew. Could offer a great hook to promote the film, though — “Cleopatra 2021 - She let’s her own people go!”

Another fake manufactured clickbait controversy.

The whole article is premised on two tweets by completely random people that the author doesn’t even claim are known or important or influential.

So here’s another article that proves that the number of stupid people in the world is either two or greater.

"Israeli actress Gal Gadot"

I think the fact that she's Israeli is the real issue for some folks.

I think it’s time to send all “woke” idiots to a re-education camp until they actually wake up.
