What is Beauty?

I have learned that Hollywood wants Angelina Jolie to play Cleopatra in the remake. Now, you the know the original Hollywood movie Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra. Well, either way, I'm mad that a Caucasian woman is playing an African woman. It's not right. Why can't the truth be told for once? What does Hollywood have to hide?

African-American woman have a hard enough time seeing nothing but Caucasian women all over the magazines, and now they want to play the most powerful woman and last Pharaoh in the world. So, only Caucasian women are the most beautiful women in the world? I think not! Look at Mrs. Obama. She is not only a beautiful woman, but a great mom and a powerful and successful lawyer.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But you know what is really funny. Some Caucasian women go and get tans, butt implants, breast enhancements, and collagen in their lips to look just like us, but they always talk about us and always hating on us. Everybody in the world copies everything African-Americans do like the fist bump, the way we dress, the way we talk, but never give us the credit.

Paul Mooney said that we as a generation are programmed to see and think certain things. Hollywood has prolonged the programming. To me, I like Angelina Jolie as an actress, but she shouldn't play this role. She has not confirmed that she would play the part. She should think twice about who she portrays. She should want to tell the truth and not use this film as politics in the Hollywood community.

It took the Academy 75 years to give an Oscar to an African-American actress. Its a shame and it will be a shame if a Caucasian woman plays an African woman. Cleopatra was the most powerful woman in the world one time and Hollywood feel that she should be a Causaian woman because she had that great power. Egypt in right smack in the middle of Africa. I'm tired of people thinking Egypt is separate from Africa. So, now the brainwashing of what and who is beautiful is never going to go away. This generation of African-American girls and the next will continue to have self-esteem issues.

So, is beauty really in the eyes of the beholder? What do you think? I would love to know.
