Race row erupts over casting of Angelina Jolie as Cleopatra

By Sophie Forbes
Last updated at 11:54 PM on 17th June 2010

She hasn't even been officially confirmed as having the role, but Angelina Jolie is already receiving criticism over her possible portrayal of the legendary Queen of the Nile.

Jolie, who turned 35 last week, is caught up in a racially charged debate over whether the role should of been played by a black woman.

The Egyptian royal was most famously portrayed Elizabeth Taylor in 1963.

The new film's producer, Scott Rudin, previously told USA Today the role is being developed with Angelina in mind as she has 'the perfect look'.

But this statement has angered members of the African American community.

The perfect look? Angelina Jolie is being lined up to play Egyptian queen Cleopatra in a new film
Brad Pitt

Onscreen lovers? Brad Pitt has been suggested as Marc Anthony to Angelina's Cleopatra

An Essence Magazine online story asks, 'Another White Actress to Play Cleopatra?'

'Honestly, I don't care how full Angelina Jolie's lips are, how many African children she adopts, or how bronzed her skin will become for the film, I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman.'

Jolie adopted her daughter Zahara,5, from Ethiopia and gave birth to Shiloh,3, in Namibia. She also has 3 other children with partner, Brad Pitt. Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2.

'Were Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry and Thandie Newton unavailable for auditions that day?' the writer continued.

'Why does Hollywood think it’s even slightly plausible to cast white women in roles that would be more sensible to cast a black actress for? Especially when that role is an African queen.'

The film is being directed by Ocean’s 11's Steven Soderberg, who originally planned to turn Cleopatra into a $30 million 3D epic starring Catherine-Zeta Jones and Hugh Jackman.

The casting of Joile has been backed by Pulitzer Prize winning author Stacy Schiff, who wrote the book which the film is based on, Cleopatra: A Life.

'I think [Jolie] be perfect for it and I can see a possible Oscar in her future,' she said. 'Physically, she’s got the perfect look.'

The original film was one of the most infamous films of all time.

With several delays lasting months due to illness, crew strikes, a change of director and even deaths on set, the movie became the most expensive film ever made - nearly bankrupting 20th Century Fox.

Wasn't Cleopatra the last pharaoh of the ruling Ptolmaic dynasty... in otherwords a GREEK?

I must admit I laughed out loud to that Gaillo. Well done good sir words of truth and wisdom. sadly as soon as many hear Egypt they correlate its location with the people and think Africa/black hence the greatest black civilization ever. Wrong. . .

As you rightly pointed out Caillo, Cleopatra and her forefathers where in fact Greeks. It’s the same BS when talking about the Phoenicians from Carthage
The Egyptian Pharoses before her had white/ swarthy complexions not black skin or characteristics as claimed. The only time Egypt had Black Pharoses was when they were conquered by the ancient Nubians / Kush who took over in the 25th Dynasty. The culture of the Nubians/ Kush was derived in a large part from the Ancient Egyptians; they in effect mirrored what they saw, once they had been conquered.

So with that said Essence Magazine and the writer of the article can go off into the dark depths of the internet abbess and not come back.

These people are over reaching and they are obviously wrong
making themselves look like fools.

I blame the media more than black people, they are brainwashed too,
even "academia" is in on all this promoting nonsense, not just this
issue, Cleopatra.

Not that long ago a UK paper had Cleopatra as black,
so who do you blame ? History is being taken apart
on purpose and there is a lot of mocking too, they hate
us, the West and they hate the Greeks even more.

IMO you lose by swearing and attacking blacks.

Who was Cleopatra ?

Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolemies.

Who were the Ptolemies ?

Ptolemy was Alexanders most powerful general,
on Alexanders death he took Egypt, he most likely
had Alexanders body too. They came as liberators
expelling the Persians and were viewed as liberators
even by the Jews. Alexander decided to go beyond
his mandate and destroyed himself and people in the
end. His own troops most likely killed him, like Ptolemy.

The Ptolemies created the Hellenistic Kingdom of Egypt.
Among other Hellenistic Kingdoms it was the best known.

What were the Hellenistic Kingdoms ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_of_Alexandria
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_of_Rhodes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_alexandria

Scholars call this age the "first modern age", "first western age."

The Ptolemies built the Museum, basically a huge University.
The Library of Alexandria was a part of this complex.

Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, influenced them greatly,
the University system was set up here, education, research.
Aristotle was a part of this highly influencing the Macedonians.

The Ptolemies even commissioned the Old Testament,
without them there would be no OT as we know it.
12 x 6 Jews came together and wrote their history.

The Hellenistic Kingdoms were a period of great advancement.

They even laid the groundwork for Christianity later on.

Ptolemy came from Upper Macedonia, North West Dorian land.
This is important because these Greeks are hated more than
any other Greeks. The Philistines were Dorian Greeks.

The most powerful military Alexander had came from here as well.
Alexander destroyed the city of Tyre, most likely Persian ZOG
headquarters, masons praise and sing of this city today. LOL

Another Hellenistic Kingdom is the Seleucid next door.
The Hellenistic Kingdoms believed in advancement and
education for all, they built schools even for girls,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiochus_Epiphanes
Remember Anty Ep, Jews today celebrate the destruction
of Hellenism, the Maccabees even murdered their own
educated class. This is what Hanukkah is.

The Romans took them over. We can go on.

So the establishment hates the West and the Greeks.

Corrupting history is part of their game, they do not care,
they have no positive history, they mock and laugh even.

Even archeology has become very political, anything positive
that is European is not promoted or avoided. Even Israel,
everywhere you dig in Israel it is not their history, the stones
do not lie so they do not dig, they even damage sites.

They use the Occult here too to do the same,
all of masonic history is corrupted nonsense.

Feel free to ask me questions.
I'll give you sources that are untouchable.
This is my area of history better than any other.

There is a lot of very related history that is important.
This area is complicated cause of too many events.

Bronze coin of CleopatraVII

Greek, 51-30 BC
From Alexandria, Egypt

A portrait of Cleopatra from her lifetime

Cleopatra VII (reigned 51-30 BC) was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, coming to the throne in 51 BC after the death of her father Ptolemy XII Auletes. She has become a legend thanks to her relationships with two prominent Romans, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. A fascination with her story has been communicated in literature and art from Plutarch to Hollywood via Shakespeare.

However, for a queen of such lasting fame, portraits of Cleopatra are exceedingly rare. The only examples that date from her own lifetime, and thus with reasonable claim to authenticity, occur on her coinage. The obverse (front) of this bronze coin shows a portrait of the queen engraved in her lifetime at the mint of Alexandria. The reverse of this coin is also remarkable for the occurrence (rare on an ancient coin) of a denominational mark (a symbol of the coin's value). The Greek letter pi stands for 80 bronze drachmas.

First of all, this is not a particularly serious matter when taken with all of the rather serious matters occuring (a second round of banking crisis that will set in possibly this Fall, Israel-Iran tensions, Kyrgyzstan violence [and who is manipulating it,] etc.)

There is more to this story than some will want to concede, though Cleopatra was not what one would think of as typically sub-saharan Afican (commonly referred to as Black.)

The last ruler of the Ptolemaic line, virtually every credible historian agrees that Cleopatra was Greek; indeed her mother's identity was unknown, so this does lead to understandable speculation as to whether the Eqyptian queen was partly Black.

In this case, it would appear that pop-history has led to a belief without merit. The people of the Ancient Egyptian civilization were distinc from the generally Arab population of contemporary Egypt. According to the Greek historian Herodotus in The History of Herodotus, Egyptians were 'black.' However, his use of black pops up multiple times as it is used to describe the country in general, the climate, and the soil.

Most likely, the Ancient Egyptians were a mix of Greeks and other Mediterranean/Semitic tribes and Hamites, and thus incredibly beautiful and exotic looking.

That is because full blooded Africans look more like monkeys than people.

99% of the time when you see a "black" in TV or the Movies they will have a very high percentage of White blood. Thus they are not truly "Black" but are in fact mixed.

Perfect case and point is Tyra Banks. Why is she so attractive? Because she basically looks White.

The entire world admires and recognizes the beauty of White people in general and specifically White women. It is the basic world standard for beauty and this is an undeniable fact.

In ancient times, "Black" referred to dark Mediterranean peoples. "Beast of the Field" referred to Negroes.




The last ruler of the Ptolemaic line, virtually every credible historian agrees that Cleopatra was Greek; indeed her mother's identity was unknown, so this does lead to understandable speculation as to whether the Eqyptian queen was partly Black.


No, it does not. Only "Afrocentric" Negrophile lunatics engage in such speculation.




Most likely, the Ancient Egyptians were a mix of Greeks and other Mediterranean/Semitic tribes and Hamites, and thus incredibly beautiful and exotic looking.


If by Hamitic you mean Adamic dark Mediterraneans, I could agree. If you mean "Hamitic = Negroid," I definitely do not agree. And the entire world, implicitly, agrees with me. Negroid = Ugly.

That is because full blooded Africans look more like monkeys than people.


A fact that most people, while intuitively knowing it to be true, get violently angry about.




The entire world admires and recognizes the beauty of White people in general and specifically White women. It is the basic world standard for beauty and this is an undeniable fact.


Every non-White male wants a White woman, which, of course, does not produce more of the desired beauty, but only degrees of ugliness.

I find it hilarious that certain blacks worry about petty sh*t like this.

Who gives a rat's ass who acts in a stupid movie?


Movies are many people's sole understanding of the past so historical accuracy is very important, and Blacks would be 100% within their rights to demand Cleopatra be acted by a Black if Cleopatra had in fact been a Black, which she wasn't, so the whole thing is typically ignorant on their parts.
