She hasn't even been officially confirmed as having the role, but Angelina Jolie is already receiving criticism over her possible portrayal of the legendary Queen of the Nile.

Jolie, who turned 35 last week, is caught up in a racially charged debate over whether the role should of been played by a black woman.

Since Cleopatra was Greek, I fail to understand why she should ever be portrayed by a black woman. I suspect the thought would have horrified her.

The film's producer should just rub nigger's face in some Egyptian History book to show him Cleopatra WAS white, even descendant of a greek general of Alexander's army. I don't really like Angelina Jolie at all, but now that I read this shit I really hope the film gets concluded with Angelina in Cleopatra's role, for the anger of the deceitful (or just History lesson-free?) afro-american community.

Cleopatra was Ptolemaic Greek, to suggest she was black is ludicrous. But of course, politically correct media jumped to buy afro-centrist pseudo-history.

I don't believe Egyptians were negroids, but rather europoids.

But aside from that, they cast blacks and others to play the part of white figures and no one says anything. Yet if it's the other way around, all is in uproar. I'm fucking tired of this shit!

So many people are so fucking dumb. That's fine though; I don't expect everyone to know the history of the world. But if they don't, they need to shut their goddamn mouths. I've grown more than weary of hearing idiots act like they know it all without having even picked up a book in years. Pathetic!

Reminds me of this black guy on another forum who claimed the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus was black because he was born in Libya.

...
Since Libya is in Africa he had to be black
He seem to have forgotten the fact that Septimius Severus paternal ancestry was Roman and that Lybians and North Africans are not negroid.



Afrocentrics are just retarded.

I'm trying to find out what of the two options (Angelina Jolie or any black actress) as Cleopatra is worse and more pathetic. When I find out I'll make us know.

Yes, Angelina Jolie is pathetic. One good name that comes to my mind momentarily for that role is Eva Green. But now I just want the film to get finished with any white actress to harass the afrocentrists.

Hahaha! Just about all my friends love Angelina Jolie and think she's the hottest woman ever. I'm wholly perplexed.

I actually like Halle Berry. Vanessa Williams is good too. But not Angelina. She sucks.


Back to Cleopatra, it seems that these Hollywood types haven't heard of Guido Cagnacci.
