I see you are struggling with the facts here.
I recommend you read the piece I linked to. Try some web searching also. Doing so might help you understand what Dr. El Shazly was saying in the quoted text.
I shall return tomorrow - if you become interested in discussing the details.
Good night Felix.
You can't rewrite history Penny Chryses.
Quote by Chryses
I take it that you are having difficulty accepting the observation by Dr. El Shazly.
Why is that? She identified an inaccuracy, correct?
You are mistaken once again.
You once made an account called Penny Candy where you pretended to be a hot middle aged business lady.
Yes or No?
Quote by Chryses
Do you understand what Yasmin is saying in the quoted text?
Yes.
Now, can you explain why it is inaccurate besides the fact that she is black?
Why do you have a problem with this but not when white actors play non-white characters?
Quote by Chryses
Where in there do you me find taking issue with a black actor being cast as Cleopatra because it's inaccurate?
You seem to be making things up again.
You are mistaken. Explain yourself.
Explain why it is inaccurate besides the fact that she is black?

One question at a time, if you don't mind.
Have you been able to find any post of mine taking issue with a black actor being cast as Cleopatra because it's inaccurate?
Yes, the original thread post...
Now, can you explain why it is inaccurate besides the fact that she is black?

I invite you to search for any post of mine taking issue with a black actor being cast as Cleopatra because it's inaccurate.
Good luck!
Okay, can you explain why it is inaccurate besides the fact that she is black?
Looks like Trump is wanting to do another Jan 6 to try and save his ass from the long dick of the law.
Quote by Dani
I agree. History and the stories of brown people have long been whitewashed, so I have very little empathy in the incredibly rare instances when the opposite happens. And the false equivalences are maddening, especially when I think about how much intentionality goes into whitewashing the history and stories of brown people.
So I guess historically, when it comes to Hollywood, white people have been the "ones to own history".
Quote by Dani
Which leads me to the question, is historical accuracy just based on physical resemblance?
In this instance yes because the uproar started right when a black actor was cast. Nothing to do with the performance.
Quote by Dani
Speaking of derailing threads, this present conversation is doing just that.
That Cleopatra bust is fucking dead on Mark Zuckerberg.
Quote by Chryses
Just as not everyone agrees with me, so too not everyone will agree with that assessment.
Did you look at both pictures? I would have guessed that was a bust of the Zuck if it were presented to me out of context.
Quote by Chryses
Yes. I suspect the Ministry would "push back".
Why? He's white and also a dead ringer for Cleopatra.
Maybe Cleopatra should be played by Mark Zuckerberg if we are looking for accuracy. But I'm sure conservatives and the nerds at the Egyptian ministry of truth or whatever will be upset by that too.
Quote by Ironic
So, why have you posted pictures of movie actors wearing makeup when the question is about Cleopatra's heritage? That seems like a question you should be willing to answer.
Ok so it's an intelligence issue with you... Let me explain my point.
Conservatives like Chryses are taking issue with a black actor being cast as Cleopatra because it's inaccurate, never mind that Elizabeth Taylor isn't accurate either. I mean look at that bust your BF posted, it's a lady with a bird beak nose, a friar Tuck hair style and an Aussie mullet in the back.
Always an issue with black actors cast in roles but never with white actors cast in roles. If we are to actually look at this issue throughout the years there have been an overwhelming amount of race swapping with white actors being cast in non-white roles of real people over black actors being cast in white roles.
In conclusion, I believe the current Cleopatra uproar is more rooted in racism than historical accuracy.
Do you have any other stupid questions, Ironic?
Quote by Ironic
Why are you posting distractions this time?
I'm asking you what you mean because I thought it was pretty obvious why I posted what I did. So you're either really unintelligent or you're purposely missing the point. Which is it?

She doesn’t look like Chante Jawan Mallard.
What do you mean?
Quote by AngelEthics
Well, at least he's offering some sort of solution, though a Constitutional Amendment is an incredibly heavy lift.
Every part of Newsom's amendment is heavily favored by the entire US population in various polls. The republicans will still be against it though. It will not happen but the point is to show how unwilling the republicans are to do things that 70% of Americans want. The democrats have to push back against republicans more and more like how Newsom and AOC do. Most normal people don't realize just how in the pocket of corporations and the gun lobby republicans really are and just straight up bought off by dark money too.
Amazing levels of treason here... This guy is just a straight up foreign weapon that was elected president.
Mena Suvari playing Chante Jawan Mallard, a real life black lady. They even gave her cornrows...
Angelina Jolie playing Mariane Pearl, a light skinned black lady.
First they took away durck dynasty now they's taking MAGA! Pray for President Trump 🙏
lol

The failed local political experiment is the governance of San Francisco.
Local politics haven't been great for crime. They don't really have anything to do with corporations buying up housing in SF and driving up the price though. When you talk about the "state" taking control... What would you call that? lol
When the "state" takes control of the price? What is that Chryses?
Quote by ElCoco
Those San Fransisco residents learned the hard way what a real estate bubble is.
Thank you for saying nothing, again. What a useless poster this guy is.
