This isn’t about Cleopatra, but a new Amazon Prime movie i watched the other day.

“A Wing And A Prayer” — really good movie with Dennis Quaid. A true story. A family flying in a small private plane when the pilot had a heart attack and died. Dad had to land it. A very angst-ridden movie. The heroes were air traffic controllers, especially two of them.

At the end of the movie they showed the movie characters’ pictures next to the pics of the real people involved. The two BLACK heroes in the movie were ... WHITE.

I'll be okay with it if the actor in the movie was Denzel Washington because he's a great actor. And I know nothing about air traffic controllers in real life so that wouldn't matter.

This is different because Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek. She was not a Nubian, the last time I've read.

So I wasn’t the only one who noticed that:

Another brain washing thing going on along with the homosexual thing: I watched “On a Wing and a Prayer” last night on Prime. There were several black characters that to me just didn’t fit. Two of them were heroic traffic controllers. Since this was a true story, at the end they had pictures of the real people involved. Much to my surprise, none of the real people were black.
