Netflix announced on Wednesday that it would be releasing a documentary on the life of Cleopatra with one significant change, her ethnicity.

[Dr. Sivana]

Don't forget Felix Unger and Oscar Madison (1982).

[Dr. Sivana]

"THAT'S OUR CLEOPATRA!"

Perfect!

[V_TWIN]

Always thought Bruce Willis would’ve made a great Shaft........boy would the black folks be pissed

[Sicon]

“Where’s your Messiah noooowww...nyah, nyah, nyah!”

Point taken! LOL!

[TomGuy]

The British tv series Merlin had a black playing the part of Guinevere -- 6 seasons.

[Irenic]

ahahahaha! I about flipped my chair laughing! ahahahaha

[FLT-bird]

Cleopatra was 100% Greek. We know this because that whole dynasty inbred.

[noiseman]

LOL....yeah....Cleophatra.....

One thing’s for sure: They’d have to drastically beef up the buoyancy of her barge.

[rlmorel]

LOL...exactly, but...I remember going to a theater to see “Apollo 13”, and as we walked out behind a young couple, I heard the girl say to the guy “I was glad the movie ended the way it did!”

I nearly fell on the floor!

[OKSooner]

It made sense that Eartha Kitt would have her turn playing The Cat Woman. Indeed, who was gonna say that The Cat Woman cain’t be black?

OTOH There’s only one Cleopatra, and that’s Elizabeth Taylor. All who follow are imitations.

[wardaddy]

Such nonsense

The Egyptians were never negroid sub Saharan either

They were ruled by hametic Nubians for 70 years in the 25th dynasty

That’s it

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Don’t forget Foxxy Cleopatra from Goldmember.

[LibertarianLiz]

Someone wrote a whole Broadway musical depicting Hamilton as black.

Yes, and someone at the BBC wrote a program about Anne Boelyn, and it depicted her as black. Also, Henry VIII was black.

I don't know why black people have to steal history from white people. A psychological problem, perhaps?

[Verginius Rufus]

Probably she was 100% Greek or Macedonian ancestry, but there was one grandmother whose identity is unknown. Probably also Macedonian but just a chance she was Egyptian...which could have meant a smidgen of sub-Saharan ancestry. Too bad we can’t do a DNA test on her.

[moviefan8]

Thank you for letting me know.

Things change a lot these days. People get penalized for misidentifying someone.

[catnipman]

reinforces the old lie that ancient egyptians were black ...

[catnipman]

“But they did have Edward G. Robinson playing the Overseer”

absolutely hilarious “Egyptian” accent ... like watching sam jackson try to play an erudite violin appraiser working for the chinese government in “the red violin” ...

[catnipman]

every time i see this kind of nonsense, it makes me wish i could cancel NETFLIX more than once ...
