Danielle Belton's The Black Snob - The Snob Blog - Casting Cleopatra: Angelina Jolie Is The New Go-To "Person of Color"

Danielle Belton has done a very interesting article about how Angelina Jolie has been tapped to play Cleopatra in the upcoming movie based on her life. Belton explains the fact that people disagree on how Cleopatra looked and her skin color. I with Belton that Cleopatra was not Caucasian. She had Egyptian and Greek blood in her. No way she had blond hair and blue eyes. I think it is sad that Hollywood studios don't believe an actress of  African descent can be enough of a box office draw to play Cleopatra. I predict that in 30 years they will have actors not of African descent play Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X. I don't think that is a good idea. It's almost like people think the best way to solve racism is to ignore race. I think that is why we have talk of Spider-man being played by a black man or Wonder Woman being played by Beyonce'.  I think we can respect each other's racial differences without ignoring them.

Islam and Christianity A Common Word: Jesus is a Muslim: The Lords Prayer by Imam Khalid Yasin

I recently found this posted on thegrandverbalizer's blog. In the Video, Imam Khalid Yasin makes the claim that Jesus never claimed to be God and tries to make the Lord's Prayer an example of why Jesus is not God. Here is the original video.




Instead of taking the points of the video in the post, I'd thought I'd let Jame White do it. I would love to see more information about how Muslims would answer Dr. White's apologetic. I find it way more compelling than what Imam Khalid Yasin presented. I don't see how he gets all of that out the Lord's Prayer. Doesn't seem to fly.
