Yah...i don't see why people ever think Cleopatra should be black. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 15/06/2010 10:18:12 AM
Even if you assumed that she was 100% Egyptian blood (Which is total idiocy on its own), she still would have been of a substantially lighter skin tone, particularly since her royal bloodlines would more than likely be free of any of the darker skinned African races.
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
Continued Love of my Aussie <3

I love Angelina jolie Aisha - 11/06/2010 06:36:48 AM 753 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 261 Views
The only reason for an "Africanish" queen... lyringlas - 11/06/2010 04:09:14 PM 740 Views
why? Cleopatra was not African. *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:19:11 AM 287 Views
They should get Lyndsey Marshal back, she was awesome. And looked the part. Legolas - 11/06/2010 12:45:48 PM 698 Views
The one from Rome? *NM* Cannoli - 11/06/2010 02:18:48 PM 255 Views
Yes. *NM* Legolas - 11/06/2010 02:36:20 PM 243 Views
Angelina is HOT, Cleopatra was NOT imlad - 16/06/2010 10:42:42 PM 627 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 262 Views
she was too pretty in my opinion imlad - 20/06/2010 03:59:57 AM 615 Views
Purefoy was fantastic in his role. Legolas - 20/06/2010 10:42:56 AM 649 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 681 Views
it's not even a proper use of the term wog. LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:16:25 AM 644 Views
No, actually it is. Tom - 15/06/2010 05:06:54 PM 742 Views
mk so, looking at that neither use is "wrong". LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:53:05 AM 639 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 247 Views
yah, i implied that i see that it is right LadyLorraine - 17/06/2010 05:10:37 AM 597 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 261 Views
Perhaps you've confused "wog" and "wop". *NM* Tom - 15/06/2010 05:07:22 PM 261 Views
no, see above. LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:54:27 AM 581 Views
Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM* imlad - 16/06/2010 10:44:39 PM 241 Views
Well, yes, or the non-Coptic Egyptians. Tom - 17/06/2010 12:57:54 AM 643 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 702 Views
I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities. Tom - 18/06/2010 02:11:15 AM 643 Views
