On Sunday, Britain's Daily Star reported that Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie — two white actresses — are competing for the role of Cleopatra, sparking outrage across social media. Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) demanded that the African queen should be played by a woman of color, even though the historical Cleopatra was Greek, not black.

"Stop whitewashing Cleopatra!!!" tweeted Kendra James, a writer and editor at Shondaland.com. "Film the story of literally any other queen on the vast African continent."

Ummmmmm

Hamilton????

What are you SJWs saying? Are you saying that some people with less European ancestry are fit for all parts, but full European ancestry isn’t good enough to be considered for any but European ancestry parts?

[Yaelle]

Gaga’s not white, she’s Italian.

Excuse me? I thought “white” = European ancestry. And apparently middle eastern as well (Persian, Armenian also have to check that dreaded “white” box).

[dfwgator]

Northern Italians pretty much consider Southern Italians as “blacks”.

“She would probably have looked Mediterranean, like most Greeks today.”

Possibly even gaulic or slavic. Macedonia had a lot of “barbarian” tribes on their borders as well.

Elizabeth Taylor is the one and only Cleopatra the same way that Charlton Heston is the one and only Moses.”””

AND Tom Selleck is the ONE & ONLY MAGNUM....

“...Hamilton was cast as black....”

Well, Alexander Hamilton may have been as much as 1/4 ‘black’. He was the illegitimate son of an Englishman and an illegitimate woman servant on one of the British Caribbean colonies (I forget which one at the moment).

Does not change the point about Cleo, tho'. Doesn't excuse how they cast the rest of the parts, tho’.

What a bunch of boneheads. She’s descended from the Ptolemy line (Ancient Greece), and they sure weren’t black.

“Portrait of Cleopatra VII of Egypt...”

Pictures did come out for me. But we do what she looked like.

According to Michael Jackson’s music video, “Remember the time,” Cleopatra was black. And, he was white.

Wrong! We all know that folks who have origins in Spain are now a different race. Or something.

Well Alexander Hamilton was black, so there’s that...

[Rummyfan]

But she was black in Cleopatra Jones!

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. -- George Orwell, "1984"
