"If Ariel can be black, Cleopatra can be white", one is a made up fairytale & one is ancient history?

Social warrior ? Thank God we have social warrior, otherwise we’d still sit in the back of the bus. White people can’t understand how tired we are of seeing historical figures such as Cleopatra or Jesus assumed to be white just because you know, white is cool, Jesus can’t be a brown man even though he was a middle eastern (if he existed). There are a lot of questions about her ethnicity for a reason, and sorry buy a white person just coming here to say oooouw, poc are at it again is just racist and miseducation on racial stigma.

Why did you assume I was white? Almost like POC are not allowed to have a different opinion...

It's so sad that you don't understand that this will only deepen (American) problems with racism and spread them around the world. Classifying each person into a race category, and then assigning each race a set of rules/opinions/rights they have. How tf should it fix racism?! 

Jesus was Jewish. Do a quick research on Jewish people, their DNA throughout history and how they look today. As tanned as he could've been, that doesn't make him black. Aside from that, most nations have been portraying Jesus as their own race since the early times of Christianity.

Wasn't Cleopatra Macedonian Greek? That's literally my race. Have I also been whitewashed my whole life? 

I wanted to know more about what we know about her race, came across this article: https://www.thoughtco.com/was-cleopatra-black-biography-3528680

So we basically don't know for sure that she was white, and that's enough of a reason to never have a movie about her in the future because there's 30% chance that she was brown-ish.

The general consensus is that Cleo was of Greek descent and had more "olive" complexion. 

Gaga is also of Mediterranean descent. She's more fit for the role than Angelina, in that sense. I also feel like Gaga's charisma is better fitting overall.
