On Sunday, Britain's Daily Star reported that Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie — two white actresses — are competing for the role of Cleopatra, sparking outrage across social media. Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) demanded that the African queen should be played by a woman of color, even though the historical Cleopatra was Greek, not black.

"Stop whitewashing Cleopatra!!!" tweeted Kendra James, a writer and editor at Shondaland.com. "Film the story of literally any other queen on the vast African continent."

These MORONS brought this "CLEOPATRA WAS BLACK" back, after that was laughed at 30 years ago and it all suddenly went away?

What about Hannibal? He was WHITE and Carthage was in Africa too! Oh...that's right, these cretins probably have never heard of of Hannibal, let alone Carthage.

No she was bitten in the asp....................

Cleo was a Greek, probably fair skinned...

The ancient Egyptians were Caucasian. All one has to do is look at their art work but DNA testing confirms they were white. Now the case for Cleopatra is a slam dunk. Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry, a result of Alexander the Great conquering Egypt sometime around 300BC. Here is a Roman bust of her dated to the time of her reign.

Does this look like a POC?

If she had been a negro, she couldn’t have been Cleopatra

Oh look, another movie I won’t see.

Beethoven was black, too!

[Tennessee Nana]

also Claudette Colbert...oh no another white woman...

THANK YOU! :-)

And NONE of the FFs were Negroid, nor were their wives black, Asian, nor Puerto Rican mixed race!

Hard to believe there are still ignoramuses who think Cleopatra was black.

The real Cleopatra was not considered a great beauty by her contemporaries. Some Romans claimed she had special talents but that might have been ancient fake news to cast her in a bad light.

Nice!!

[nopardons]

Cleopatra was NEVER said to have been a beauty! She was supposedly very well educated, had a great mind, and was “sultry”.

Highly recommend “Not Out of Africa” by Mary Lefkowitz.

From the article, "the Ptolemaic pharaohs followed in the footsteps of previous Egyptian rulers in marrying their sisters, creating an incestuous situation that would have exacerbated the olive skin of the Greeks, rather than mixing it with any of their black neighbors or subjects."

So it is really people from areas where a lot of close relatives marry each other who should be upset.

[nopardons]

That’s because you evidently have never seen Claudette Colbert in that role!

[Ancesthntr]

How many black Greeks were there 2,000 years ago? Talk about irrational, that term pretty much defines the snowflakes.

[nopardons]

WHAT ???????????????

In some stupid movie?

[COBOL2Java]

Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most beautiful actresses ever, especially in that time of her life.
