    > But the producer said “her heritage is highly debated”

    By whom? We have contemporaneous portraits. We have information about her ancestry and descent from Ptolemy. She was part of the Greek dynasty that ruled Egypt following its conquest by Alexander the Great.

    I guess they forgot that Egypt is in Africa, the ancestral home of black people.

    Edit: It’s hilarious how some of your are going out of your way to try to argue with me instead of just ignoring me like I’m ignoring all of you. I must’ve hit a soft spot lol.

    Annie the Orphan

    The Little Mermaid

    Cleopatra

    There is apparently a blackification agenda going on in Hollywood but what do I care?

    Anyone who’s bothered by it, let them fight amongst themselves. That’s probably what Hollywood wants anyway.
