ummm Greeks are.....brace yourselves........White.
Cleopatra was Greek. Ergo, she was White.
Deal with it snowflakes.
One woman’s opinion. Whoever plays her has got to have the sass factor going on and I think that lets out Angelina Jolie. Gaga might be able to pull it off, but I think that neither of those two is a good choice really. Beyonce has the wrong look and does nasty much better than the lighter sassy. Just no. I could see some of the spirit of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” only gone horribly terribly awfully wrong. They need a highly intelligent and unabashedly flirtatious young woman to play this part. If this movie is going to be successful most women are going to have to feel for her. She will have to be likable and funny in order for the pathos to come through. Let’s be honest though. They are going to eff this up like they do just about everything else.
I just asked my SJW employee about this.
She says Cleopatra was dark, but not Nubian.
I said Cleopatra was Greek and in those days Greeks were often blonde and blue eyed.
She all but called me a liar.
I asked if Rhiana should play the role. She claimed she would be more historically accurate. I asked how is it accurate to have a Jamaican play a Greek?
“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.”

Misuse of the word “literally” is a dead giveaway of an illiterate. And in this case an ignorant illiterate.
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?
What a bunch of boneheads. She’s descended from the Ptolemy line (Ancient Greece), and they sure weren’t black.
According to Michael Jackson’s music video, “Remember the time,” Cleopatra was black. And, he was white.

“......Cleopatra was of Macedonian descent and had little, if any, Egyptian blood......”

Who is to say she wasn’t white?
Her royal family and she were greeks (descended from a greek general of Alexander the Great), she wasn’t north African or semitic or Arabic etc.
What would be an outrage and a revision of history would be if a black or dark skinned person were to play her.
Only a racist black supremacist would push for that.
