But always remember that modern Egyptians/Arabs do not like being portrayed as Black/African people.
Remember the stink Egyptians raised when Black actor Lou Gossett was cast to play President Anwar Sadat?
.. modern Egyptians/Arabs have an inferior complex and always seem to project it onto other Africans-- their thing is that Africans have always been slaves blah blah blah
But then, how do you account for the presence of Nubians in Egypt right now? [also remember what the President of Tunisia said about Africans(meaning Black Africans. lol]
HaHaHa...Pharoah Zahi Hawass, who is an Arab nationalist and racist swinehead, is also raging against Neflix for casting Cleopatra as a Black woman.
Says King Zahwass: "I am not against black people at all but here I am just listing the evidence that Cleopatra was not black."
Again, I think the timing for this Neflix Cleopatra film is very very bad. Not only because it's a Jada Smith production but because the controversy GUARANTEES rock star Zahi Hawass will use it to sell many many more tickets for his American tour & lecture series. I've always felt Zahwass was anti-Black/anti-African!
BTW, I won't be surprised if Pharaoh Henry Louis Gates Jr.(from the American Uncle Tom Dynasty) doesn't jump into the controversy: during the 90s Gates was writing articles denouncing Afrocentrism and declaring Cleopatra wasn't black but indeed a white woman. (Gates was married to a 'snow bunny')
Lol.. wish I had more time for this right now.
