Okay the Macedonian Ptolemies had been there for 300 years, but Cleopatra (VII) was the first to bother to learn to speak Egyptian. Hardly "gone native".

“This is who should play Cleopatra...”

Wow; I’m glad the Helen Thomas picture didn’t show up after that line.
Whew...

I guess these idiots never studied History...Cleopatra was of Macedonian descent. She was descended from Ptolemy I, A general who served under Alexander the Great. He appointed himself a King after the death of Alexander.

What else would you expect from self-absorbed racist Morons...

Coins of Antony and Cleopatra (in that order, 'cause it's kind of hard to tell)

"The only black Cleopatra had the surname Jones. She was a hottie too."

Are you talking about Miss Cleo?

You’d think the row would be over the making of another stupid Cleopatra movie.

If Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek that means she was a white girl! Don’t tell that to the diverse ones because they’ll get upset.

The new film's producer, Scott Rudin, previously told USA Today the role is being developed with Angelina in mind as she has 'the perfect look'.

What's Mr Rudin's opinion on the black actor cast to portra "Thor?"

Then they won’t call me a racist if I don’t appreciate black Madonna & child depictions?
