Nefertiti
If there was to be film about Nefertiti , who do think should play her. And why do think they should play her
shareSomeone browner. Gugu is too sweet and cutesy looking.
If she was an actress, Fatima Siad would be perfect.

Being that they insist on casting people that look like Angelina Jolie in roles depicting egyptian royalty, i'll take cutesy looking Gugu any day.
sharehow about we dont settle for the standards set by white supremacy. saying gugu should play Nefertiti is playing into the house slave, vs field slave logic, especially taking into the fact that Nefertiti was a dark skin woman who looked nothing like this biracial actress.
shareno, how about someone who actually have the skin color and bone structure of nefertiti, like tika sumpters
shareNeither a European or black African! She was North African, so that or a middle east Arab.
There is a black supremacist cult that claims Pharaohs (and Jesus) were black. They teach this bullshit in some universities!
If you go to the Louvre in Paris, you can see the artwork of Egypt from 5000BC.
The statues are of white people.
Nefertiti is clearly a white woman. Bone structure is how you determine race and on top of that, the statues are colored and so it's a white lady. There were common people statues too like a potter and he was obviously a white person.
The Aryan migration explains why they were white. That went across Europe and then down through India and up into the mideast.
The Sumerians came before and they had blue eyed statues.
Ruth Negga would be brilliant.
But it's interesting that when you see the bust of Nefertiti she looks more like an Italian super model than someone of North African descent. Which in this day and age pretty much guarantees that whoever is cast some people would be sure to find fault.
