Rachel Dolezal, the former Spokane NAACP president who has lied about being black, said she planned to boycott a movie because a white actor played the biblical Moses.
During an Oct. 2014 radio interview in Spokane, the 37-year-old Dolezal was discussing the movie “Exodus: Gods and Kings.” The movie, which told the tale of Moses, starred white English actor Christian Bale.

Those glasses cover up the blue eyes too.
I am confused about something; if the people who lived in that time were Semites and they were, wouldn’t they be classed as white? Just wondering.
Off subject again, I miss Ann Bancroft(married to Mel)
It couldn’t have sucked more than the ‘Noah’ movie.
In a month's time, we, the people, have been blessed with not one such person, but with two: Rachel Donezal and Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner!
On the road of life, there are warning signs.
These days, when we come to one we like to stop the tour bus and take group selfies of us standing next to it.
Thank you! Why don't more people understand this? A simple glance at history shows it to be true, yet people persist in saying that, for instance, Cleopatra was Egyptian (and therefore black, though even as an Egyptian she wouldn't have been black in our sense of the word). The Macedonian rulers of Egypt were Greek through and through.
Maybe she wanted to fake being black so she could use the N-word loose and free without getting in trouble.
The Great Pyramids were built about 4,500 years ago. The ancient Egyptian civilization therefore had to exist prior to 2,500 B.C. Probably much before 2,500 BC. Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332 BC so for at least 2,200 years and probably much longer Egypt was ruled by Egyptians! Where the ancient Egyptians white? The evidence strongly indicates that that was the case.
Fo’shizzle,my nizzles!
More people don’t understand it cause it’s not true. The Greeks didn’t rule Egypt until around 300bc. The previous couple thousand years Egypt’s rulers and population were not white europeans. They were black, white north african caucasions and semitic with some caucasion Hittites thrown in from their incursions.
Her parents are evangelical Christians . Here a re clips from the Huffington Post:
“The Dolezals were so committed to their faith that they moved to South Africa in 2002 to spread the gospel, taking their adopted children with them. Larry worked as a general manager at the Cape Town office of Creation Ministries International, an international organization that promotes the creationist message. He also said he did aid work for disadvantaged people in the region.
Larry confirmed to HuffPost that he and his wife’s religion played a big part in the adoption of their four black children — Ezra, Izaiah, Esther and Zach. The children were adopted in rapid succession between 1993 and 1995, with three coming from the United States and one from Haiti.
“We share a very strong, faith-based, pro-life conviction, and our older children shared that conviction with us at the time we adopted our four children,” Larry said. “If you save [children] from abortion, we’re willing to adopt them and raise them. It’s putting our pocketbooks where our words are.”
“The Dolezals said they weren’t motivated by race when they chose to adopt black children. Larry was already 40 by the time they decided to adopt, and they wanted to do it quickly.
“We discovered that minorities are often hard to place,” Larry told HuffPost. “We adopted African-American children because they were available and we were willing.”
He said that Rachel, who was about 15 when the Dolezals began adopting, quickly fell in love with her new siblings.
“Rachel also felt the same compassion to embrace any ethnicity,” Larry said. “When we ended up adopting African-American children because they were the ones available at the time, Rachel gravitated to that community and to that people group.”
Izaiah Dolezal, one of the couple’s adopted sons, reportedly sought emancipation from his parents in 2010. According to CNN, Izaiah, who is now 21, claimed the Dolezals “had sent his brother and sister away to group homes because they didn’t cooperate with the couple’s religion and rules.”
Larry said that his kids were expected to participate in church events. However, he said, there was “no enforcement” in their house growing up. For the most part, he said, his children seemed to accept their parents’ interpretation of the Bible.
As for Rachel, Larry said that “only the Lord knows her heart.”
“Where she stands with him, I can’t tell you,” he said.
We know for a fact that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair. He was probably more kin to the modern Scots and Irish than to other Egyptians who themselves were White.
Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, I rather suspect that she was 100% Macedonian. She was the first Ptolemaic ruler to speak the native Egyptian language.
The time of Moses was many centuries before the advent of the Ptolemies.
Watermelon Girl!
Really? Interesting. Those ancient Celts really got around. And did not read hair come for Neanderthals? I guess the old Scots/Irish were not above banging cave girls back before all the ice melted and left them stuck on an island, lol.
Slightly off-topic, but I saw Ramses I twice. Once in the early ‘70’s on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls in a curiosity museum, and then again down south in Atlanta’s Carlos Museum. He has since been returned to Egypt and, I believe, is in Luxor.
Red heads really did get around.
King David is traditionally thought to have been red haired and it would make sense as the Bible describes his as “ruddy complexioned”.
opps from Neanderthals
The English word derives from the Latin Iudaeus, from Greek Ioudaios, ultimately from the name of the tribe of Judah. In New Testament times Jews seem to have included some members of other tribes (Paul was conscious of belonging to the tribe of Benjamin), while the Samaritans were descended from people who had lived in the northern kingdom of Israel after the split that took place in the reign of Rehoboam.
Some of the later dynasties of pharaohs were of Nubian origin but not those of the 3rd or 2nd millennium B.C. (The Hyksos were from western Asia.)
