Black Americans mad Jolie was cast as Cleopatra

[White Israelite]

Not sure why though, since Cleopatra wasn't black..

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 have 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.

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.

Mmmmhmmm!!

Any cheese to go with that fine case of whine!  What a disgusting crybaby "writer".

[Spiraling Leopard]

I don't think Cleopatra had a negra-nose.

[Ben m]

cleopatra was white greek like the rest of the talmai dynsaty.

[Abben]

98% of blacks do not even know who Cleopatra was. Maybe they know who cleopatra jones is

[Zelhar]

How dumb can these schwartzes be ? Cleopatra was a pure GREEK. And nobody even dares to correct them about this little fact ?

[Spiraling Leopard]

This a.jolie looks like an alien.

[TheCoon]

Cleopatra, Queen of Denile.

The Great Mystery of the Ages!

They will complain about everything if it is not black. Im sure that Ceasar was black too, so was Lincoln, and so was Socrates...

Just like the Muslims, some blacks believe that everyone is black and the historians have modified history to erase the black origins of it all.

History just doesn't support what some blacks and muslims are saying...

[judeanoncapta]

Malcolm X claimed that Ludwig Van Beethoven was black.

Negative.



Although my cat's name is Thor, and he is black.

[Rubystars]

Yeah it was the Princess and the Frog, and it was set in New Orleans.

Also i have heard thor is going to be played by a black...

Oh that would be so funny! I would like to see a black comedy where all the Norse deities are played by the most ghetto-looking [censored].

(For those who don't like reading the names of false deities, fair warning, I'm going to list some)














Thor could strike someone with his hammer and yell out like James Brown in "I feel good"!

This guy could play Odin:

"I be wise n' sheet"

Freya could be played by the actress who played Precious Jones:


Hey here's Loki ready to kill Baldur!

[TheCoon]

We da real norwegians! All you blonde hair blue eyed whities is imposters!

[TheCoon]

Not even The Coon is a black superhero.

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

Agreed but we should rejoice to see schvartzes mad at Hoelie. That disgusting kurva makes Roseanne Barr look classy.

Please ben, I need no compliment from you. You don't know anything, you are a Noob and you need to grow up...

Because I point out the truth about some black culture, like the so-called 'Black Israelites' and the Nation of Islam, doesn't make me a nazi. There are enemies of the Jewish people who are seeking to steal our heritage, they have always sought to do so. But it is clear who my enemies are..

Ben,

GROW UP! Have you ever traveled anywhere in the world outside of your little cage? You cannot judge anyone because your experience is nothing compared to mine. I don't even feel anything about you because you are a nazi, and you don't hide it, and you think your a Jew. This is sick to me... You have your fun little buddy while you can.. I am not your friend but you should take my advice and wise up..
