Cleopatra had three things that were attractive about her: 1)she was uber-smart and willful, 2) she is generally agreed to have had large pretty eyes, and 3) she was a frakking pharoah of EGYPT and so was filthy rich!
As for being a woman of true physical beauty, well, historians will say "not so much" to that.
So, they should cast a greek woman with pretty eyes but an ugly face with a honker of a nose. But then, who would go see that?

And yeah, that's ridiculous. Of course, getting Angelina Jolie as Cleopatra is equally ridiculous.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Did you read his post? There's no reason for an Africanish person to play the part. *NM*

Wait...is the racist part the idiocy of trying to say Cleopatra was black or the "wog" calling part?

Hence, your statement "it's not even a proper use of the term wog" is incorrect. *NM*

Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM*

I wasn't calling anyone a wog, I was suggesting a likely parallel to the Ptolemies' attitude

I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities.
