    She certainly could have been black. Are you familiar with Anwar Sadat?

    Also why does it matter?

    For decades whites played Asians, Latinos, etc.

    Why is it only a problem now?

    Breh this is not a fictional movie
    It’s being advertised as a documentary

    Why don’t you ask Egyptians in Cairo if they think she was black ?

    Or are you in denial like the river in Egypt ?
    @ROXRAN @Salvy

    saying that white people played non white people in the past doesn’t change that Egyptians are pissed at this breh
    @AroundTheWorld

    this is like saying the mavericks didn’t make the playoffs doesn’t make the rockets season any better

    Didn't think this deserved it's own thread, but I'm sure people interested in this thread will enjoy following a newly developing story.

    Berkeley, the philosopher, discovered to have purchased and owned slaves.

    Should be... intriguing... to see how the namesake city and its particular university respond to this information. Maybe you will finally be able to answer this thread's central question!

    nobody is as stupid as the then-Rocket GM Morey,
    who gave up on Roc's proven starting PG, Dragic, in favor of an unproven 3-week flash-in-the-pan.

    Morey signed Lin to a poisoned-pill FA contract, one which no one else was stupid enough to outbid Morey,
    2 yrs later, Morey had to bribe the Lakers with a 1st and 2nd rounder to take on Lin's contract.

    That wasn't a Morey decision, it was the owner.

    California does some things that make me SMH, I get the intent but I don't think the government has a right to interfere at this level. Our board of directors is very diverse but I would never want anyone to mandate who was on our board, we see having a diverse group good for the betterment of ideas and life lessons and thus a better overall company culture and success.

    Everyone supports the "cause" whatever it is until their wallet is affected. See Lebron/Kerr and Hong Kong, when suddenly they don't have an opinion. Nobody actually cares, money is king.
