Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have
Immortal longings in me: now no more
The juice of Egypt's grape shall moist this lip:
Yare, yare, good Iras; quick. Methinks I hear
Antony call; I see him rouse himself
To praise my noble act; I hear him mock
The luck of Caesar, which the gods give men
To excuse their after wrath: husband, I come:
Now to that name my courage prove my title!
I am fire and air; my other elements
I give to baser life. So; have you done?
Come then, and take the last warmth of my lips.
Farewell, kind Charmian; Iras, long farewell.
Have I the aspic in my lips? Dost fall?
If thou and nature can so gently part,
The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch,
Which hurts, and is desired. Dost thou lie still?
If thus thou vanishest, thou tell'st the world
It is not worth leave-taking.

Funny, I didn’t hear any comments about Will Smith playing
James West in the Wild Wild West movie.

Hmmm, what race what Bob Conrad again?

Cleopatra was BLACK? WHO KNEW?!? So does this mean the ancient Egyptians were Black? Are the wokesters sure they want reparations? We can play that game too. We can pay them back for slavery, IF they pay US back for the enslavement of our Hebrew ancestors 5000 years ago. Anything we owe them would be chump change compared to just the accrued interest on a on such an old debt.

BBC regularly portrays half the British royals and historical characters as black from everything from Robin Hood to King Arthur.

Few things rise above a grounded, righteous female.

Hollywood fictions aside, black Egyptomania propaganda is a push towards trying to revise history to say that sub-Saharan people were the original Jewish people. That push runs into quite a few impenetrable facts, though, one being that Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with an obvious sunburn.

I’m upset that Peter Jackson didn’t use real orcs in the “Lord of the Rings” movies. :-P

[Kozak]

LOL.
Idiots.

Cleopatra was 100% Ptolemaic Greek going back at least 6 generations.

This is like a recent case with a high school play of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. A white girl played Esmerelda who had been portrayed with darker Gypsy skin by the Disney cartoon. But Esmerelda had been stolen from her French mother by the Gypsies early in the book, so she shouldn’t have looked like them. But the rage mob protested because the actress was white.

Gal Gadot is standing up to the bullying and is even mocking the ignoramuses on the other side. She seems to be a typical Hollywood liberal on many issues. Whether that’s from real conviction or just go-along to get-along career building, I don’t know, but she’s steadfast about being Israeli, Jewish and an IDF vet. She may have more grit than most Hollywood types. She may even have learning potential, and she’s far enough along in her career that she doesn’t need to kowtow to anyone. Maybe someone like Dennis Prager or Dave Rubin should get in touch and explore common ground.

“First of all, if you want to be true to the facts, then Cleopatra was Macedonian,” Gadot told BBC Arabic.

Indeed. Much ado about nothing.

Here is my choice for the part of Cleopatra

Gal Galdo is fine actress and she will make a fine Cleopatra too.

my wife is watching the new Netflix chick movie/series, Bridgerton.

in the series, the duke of hastings and queen charlotte are both black. I’m pretty sure they were white in real life.

I haven’t seen any protesters, murders, or burning buildings due to this peice of dramatic license.
