Netflix has become so woke, they cast a black woman to play Cleopatra.

Yes, a woman of GREEK origin was black according to Netflix. sigh.

I'm all for inclusion and all, but c'mon... Even statues from her time depicted her as a light skinned woman.

I watched maybe 5 minutes and had to turn it off.

Egyptians were black maybe they are trying to bring this to the front. They should also touch the topic of how black people were keeping Hebrew people slaves at that time.

Cleopatra was a descendent of Ptolemy I, a Macedonian Greek. Macedonian royalty at that time retained their culture and language despite ruling over Egypt.

I did not say otherwise. But thanks for the details
