The only reason for an "Africanish" queen... lyringlas Send a noteboard - 11/06/2010 04:09:14 PM
would be if they were making a movie set during the Kushite occupancy, and wanted to represent a native Kush (Ethiopian) woman as the pharaoh's mama cita.

but i would definitely like to see an africanish person play the part. but Angelina will make the studios more money playing that role than anyone else

I love Angelina jolie Aisha - 11/06/2010 06:36:48 AM 652 Views
Did you read his post? There's no reason for an Africanish person to play the part. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/06/2010 06:58:42 AM 212 Views

why? Cleopatra was not African. *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:19:11 AM 238 Views
They should get Lyndsey Marshal back, she was awesome. And looked the part. Legolas - 11/06/2010 12:45:48 PM 595 Views
The one from Rome? *NM* Cannoli - 11/06/2010 02:18:48 PM 214 Views
Yes. *NM* Legolas - 11/06/2010 02:36:20 PM 199 Views
Angelina is HOT, Cleopatra was NOT imlad - 16/06/2010 10:42:42 PM 530 Views
I'm having a hard time telling if you agree with me about Marshal or not... *NM* Legolas - 16/06/2010 11:29:02 PM 214 Views
she was too pretty in my opinion imlad - 20/06/2010 03:59:57 AM 511 Views
Purefoy was fantastic in his role. Legolas - 20/06/2010 10:42:56 AM 534 Views
Wait...is the racist part the idiocy of trying to say Cleopatra was black or the "wog" calling part? Tom - 15/06/2010 01:38:42 AM 579 Views
it's not even a proper use of the term wog. LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:16:25 AM 548 Views
No, actually it is. Tom - 15/06/2010 05:06:54 PM 628 Views
mk so, looking at that neither use is "wrong". LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:53:05 AM 530 Views
Hence, your statement "it's not even a proper use of the term wog" is incorrect. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 01:34:45 PM 199 Views
yah, i implied that i see that it is right LadyLorraine - 17/06/2010 05:10:37 AM 497 Views
And no one in the rest of the world cares about Australian slang. They're just weird down there. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 01:35:11 PM 213 Views
Perhaps you've confused "wog" and "wop". *NM* Tom - 15/06/2010 05:07:22 PM 213 Views
no, see above. LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:54:27 AM 473 Views
Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM* imlad - 16/06/2010 10:44:39 PM 202 Views
Well, yes, or the non-Coptic Egyptians. Tom - 17/06/2010 12:57:54 AM 540 Views
I wasn't calling anyone a wog, I was suggesting a likely parallel to the Ptolemies' attitude Cannoli - 17/06/2010 09:58:23 PM 600 Views
I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities. Tom - 18/06/2010 02:11:15 AM 537 Views
Yah...i don't see why people ever think Cleopatra should be black. LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:18:12 AM 526 Views
