The two BLACK heroes in the movie were ... WHITE.

I'll be okay with it if the actor in the movie was Denzel Washington because he's a great actor. And I know nothing about air traffic controllers in real life so that wouldn't matter.

This is different because Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek. She was not a Nubian, the last time I've read.

Cleopatra WAS a Greek. Alexander took Exypt away from the Persians about 330 BC, initiating it into the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Egtpt was subsequently conquered by the Romans in 30 BC.

Wasn't the Ptolemaic dynasty well documented as Macedonian?

Never mind.....

“This is different because Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek.”

I said, “This isn’t about Cleopatra...”

It is amazing how shows are putting forth blacks. I watched part of an episode from Prime Slasher, blacks are shown as a main part of late 18 century England. And started to watch a series Legacies where all the white girls have black boy friends.

Rapant indoctrination.

Nice to hear it from real Egyptians.

American historians would be raked over the coals as racists.

Oh NO she was NOT! And Numbians NEVER ruled Egypt!

Cleopatra was 100% Macedonian GREEK, a Caucasion,and the last ruler of the almost 300 year Ptolemaic rule of Egypt!

Either you're not knowledgeable about this history and should refrain from posting about it, or being sarcastic, which if so, yo need to end your post with /S!

I’ve never heard any archaeologist who was an expert on Egypt say that Cleo was Black-1st time I heard that fiction was from a black power type co-worker in the 80’s-I said sorry-Cleo was a Greek...

And Zahi Hawass happens to be white, as well as the ultimate Egyptologist—maybe that what netfakes is pissed about...

the legendary queen of Egypt, whose specific race has long been the subject of historical dispute.
There's no dispute, she was Macedonian Greek.

She wasn't black, she wasn't African, she wasn't Egyptian, she was Greek.

It seems blacks have no history or culture so they have to steal some like it was the hair products aisle at a Walmart or something.
