Like some FReepers, leave it to the Egyptians to try to pin Cushans & Nubes w/ all the problems at their sites ....

[bgill]

Since black is the new black.

[Excellence]

It’s a spaghetti middle-eastern?

[driftless2]

Yes, the Dudley Moore.

[Steven Tyler]

Big Mo’s favorite was Mary, a white Coptic Christian. Big Mo (police be upon him) proclaimed the best sex is with white women

[morphing libertarian]

I’m a Bond fan and wouldn’t have a problem with a strong black actor in the role. That being said, people should make their own movie and hire who that want. Look at the new Annie with the lead and war bucks (new name) played by black actors. The girl can sign and Jamie Foxx will do fine, so what’s the problem.

What a beautiful woman! Boy, am I a sucker for green eyes.

[Rodamala]

And God said to Moses,
"All Jews... will have big noses."

[wardaddy]

You go Rupert....

...but she spoke Egyptian (as well as nine other languages) dressed like an Egyptian, worshiped and ate like an Egyptian and was fully accepted as an Egyptian by her people (or most of them in any case).

But did she Walk Like an Egyptian?

[wardaddy]

Study up

25th dynasty short lived

Not tropical negroid

Kushites......not from Sudan or Ham

Straight haired and aquiline and bronze

Only tropical negroes in Egypt were in servitude

Ramses II...Moses semi grandpa had reddish blonde hair....the proof lies in Cairo

This is all part of the same war

Destroy the political and cultural power of whites...especially Christian

But it even applies now to Egypt...so silly

If you were southern you’d have already felt this yoke on your own cultural neck

[Rodamala]

Sorry. I responded before seeing 45 other people responded the same thing...groan.

[wardaddy]

You’d be surprised how many here are PC suzies about this

[thecodont]

These two look like modern Egyptians.

[wardaddy]

A week at Sanibel in July and I’m quite darker than either and I’m stone cold Mississippi wood

But I’ll tell you who was part black

Dinah Shore ...famous Nashville Jew from mid last century

Good looking gracious blonde southern woman

I don’t know that she ever claimed to be Egyptian though

[RobbyS]

Too bad they couldn’t persuade the angels to let Yul play the role again.

[RobbyS]

Well, they speak Arabic, but most Arab-speakers today had ancestors who spoke other languages.It is as if the people of Britain had chosen to given up their own languages for Latin, the language of the Roman conquerer, or taken up Norman French.

[RobbyS]

Like WOW!

[RobbyS]

Usually European actors play Jesus. Mel Gibson went against that by making Jim Caviezel up to look like a Palestinian.
