    i know almost nothing about jada pinkett smith and tbh i would prefer to keep it that way; celebrity gossip is not really my shit.

    And it’s not like people from the middle east or north Africa [etc]

    yes you're completely correct here, that said i think it's fair to say that they most likely wouldn't be hiring an actress from either of those places. they'd likely just have cast someone from wisconsin or whatever and called it a day

    On top of that Cleopatra wasn’t even ethnically Egyptian or African.

    :shrug-outta-hecks: i am perfectly aware of this but i simply do not care because the people throwing tantrums over it are all conveniently the dumbest people on the planet and making fun of them brings light into my life. however, i do agree with you entirely elsewhere in this thread, telling actual Black stories would be infinitely more interesting than Yet Another Roman Empire circlejerk

    e: hopefully this didn't come off as combative btw, that wasn't my intent
