SJWs Outraged White Actress Will Play African Queen Cleopatra (RUH ROH!)

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."

So, why should anyone CARE what the SJW freaks think? Why was this posted? I hope it was just so we could all have a good laugh.

Gaga as a good voice and is a good entertainer for that style, but she has never been what I call beautiful.
Angelina J. looks and acts similar to a young Liz Taylor.
Jolie could pull it off, that is, if she’s not then running for president.

These idiots all learned their history from garbage fabrications like Black Athena. Plus, they are really stupid.

Elizabeth Taylor is the one and only Cleopatra the same way that Charlton Heston is the one and only Moses.

This sort of controversy happens because of the poor education in this country. Educated people know Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek (northern Greece/southern Serbia/Yugoslavia) from the Ptolemaic dynasty.

From the article itself:

“....even though the historical Cleopatra was Greek,...”

Were they upset when black actors or actresses were cast to play characters who were historically European? Of course not...

Yes. And Ptolemy was the half brother of Alexander the Great who had blond hair and blue eyes.

AFRICAN-AMERICANS CLAIM ALL AFRICANS ARE BLACK.

I worked with a guy of Italian descent born in Ethiopia where his family had worked because Italy had a presence there throughout the early 190os.

The quality of intellectual, political and social discourse in their country is not for triple-digited IQs,

Insane, isn’t it. If these people cement their hold on society, 100 years from now it will be common knowledge that Cleopatra was a black African. If they even teach about history.

There are paintings or descriptions of Cleopatra, are there not? We have one of Alexander that survives, and many of all the Roman emperors of that era.

“Were they also upset with this movie?”

By coincidence we’re watching that 4-hour movie now. A huge production. Elizabeth Taylor at her most beautiful and good acting job. Richard Burton excellent.
