There are a lot of YouTube videos saying she was black.

Black is the new white. Hollywood will only cast villains and stupid people as white now.

Hawass is correct. So pathetic that American blacks try to rewrite history that sub-saharan Africans did anything historically significant.

Sold as slaves by Arabs and a massive inferiority complex that we have to endure because some assholes were lazy and immoral.

Cleopatra looked Greek to me, that makes more sense considering the times she lived in.

I recommend the National Theatre Live Movie of the stage play Antony & Cleopatra with Ralph Fiennes and Sophie Okonedo as Cleopatra.

Beware of asps!

only a non-white is allowed to point this out. Any white who would raise objection to historical inaccuracy would be automatically deemed racist

This isn’t about Cleopatra, but a new Amazon Prime movie i watched the other day.

“A Wing And A Prayer” — really good movie with Dennis Quaid. A true story. A family flying in a small private plane when the pilot had a heart attack and died. Dad had to land it. A very angst-ridden movie. The heroes were air traffic controllers, especially two of them.

At the end of the movie they showed the movie characters’ pictures next to the pics of the real people involved. The two BLACK heroes in the movie were ... WHITE.

“Netflix is proud to partner with Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. Watch the acclaimed, award-winning movies and series they’ve brought to life”

says all you need to know about Netflix. Anyone subscribing to Netflix is supporting Barry Obama and Big Mike.

I lived in Egypt 3 years. Egyptians generally look down on darker skinned people, such as Nubians, from the south. Delta dwellers are generally lighter skinned reflecting greek and roman influence.
