Makers of Netflix Movie about Black Cleopatra Don’t Know Sh*t About History

[westwall]

Dumbass clowns like your stupid ass are trying to tell us she was a white woman, when it is a African Nation. Take your racist, cup cake ass on somewhere else with that bullshit.

It's faaar easier for an Egyptian to travel to Rome, than to visit any place in sub Saharan Africa.

They might as well be on a different continent.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

she was Greek you fucking MORON she was descended from one of Alexander's Generals she was not black and she had green eyes and was fair skinned. Further at that time in Egyptian History blacks did not rule in Egypt good god you are ignorant.

 

[skye]

Is Netflix going to do this next? Despict him like that?

The stupidity in Netflix knows no bounds

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Can we at least admit that she would've been quite sun-tanned from being in the desert and all?

No. Sun darkened skin was the mark of a peasant. A poor person that had to work in the open.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Egypt is in the continent of Africa so people want to think of the North Africans as negro as the Sub-Saharan Africans when are two different races of people.

None of which changes the fact that she was Greek.

Greek along with a lot of other things.

I can picture Cleo lying on a beach towel, trying to get that even tanned look.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Greek along with a lot of other things.

No. Just Greek.

 

[westwall]

Greek along with a lot of other things.

Wrong. She was the result of generations of inbreeding. They were ALL Macedonian Greeks. And they didn't have children outside of their family.

Egyptians aren't black today. Only the Arabs who moved to Egypt are darker.

Yup. Like the picture I posted earlier of the Copts, they ARE the closest modern descendants of the ancient Egyptians.

If they did because pharaoh had a fling the child was immediately killed. Early form of abortion.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Possibly trying to illustrate the effect the blazing sun had upon the Egyptians skin?

Royalty would have protected their skin as much as possible especially the women. Only peasants get sun tans.

So I just can't get worked up that a black person was cast in the role of a person of color in ancient times.

Of course you can't because you are a woke asshole. Typical confused asshole Moon Bat.

There are so many historically inaccurate shows. Emily wasn't really in Paris. There wasn't an ancient apocalypse. Leonardo didn't die on the Titanic. William Wallace didn't knock up the English Princess. And ancient aliens didn't make the pyramids.

Why does this particular show trigger you guys so badly?

It’s possible about the ancient aliens.

 

[MizMolly]

Her mother is of unknown origin. She could have been darker skinned.
OTOH, when Gal Gadot was associated with a project where she would play Cleopatra, the accusations were of "whitewashing". If anything, Gal's skin tone is likely closer to the truth.

I read that her parents were siblings.

 

[MizMolly]

Isn’t it ridiculous to think only black people were born in Africa? Cleopatra was Greek.

Was she?
