white Egyptians?

I'd be careful with that. Some say they weren't real now, but for thousands of years they were so...

All races have women that are lighter on average than the men. That's just reality. Lighter still doesn't mean white.

All gods are white. Evolution shows us that as humans evolved they became more white, just like our creators. We are becoming more Godlike as we evolve and thus whiter. Depicting Gods as white is just right.

The original WIZ LIVE, was in the 1970s. I personally did not watch the remake in 2015, so I have no opinion on it. I do work as a performing artist onstage and the casting has improved, but in my area (which is not musical theatre) there is still a lot of prejudice against actors who are not white.

I don't know who you are referring to as "YOU" since you don't know me, nor do you know whether I belittle or cry racism in my life. For all you know I am white.

There is no way that racism can make a "comeback." People are racist or they are not. Let's just use the word PREJUDICE because the term racism is loaded. If someone has no problems with people of another race (?) or skin color or religion, just because other people talk about it is not going to make that someone all of a sudden become prejudiced against other people, that they never had a problem with before or never were prejudiced against. If it does than that person is very weak minded, and that is a bigger problem than being prejudiced in my opinion.

I personally do not think that prejudice based on skin color has made a "comeback." It has always been here. It did improve from the 1960s-1980s significantly as a result of the civil rights movement and affirmative action. I believe a lot of people did change the way they were thinking, or the most prejudiced died off. However, what turned the tide was the election of President Obama. There is a sector of the country that from the beginning of his term were very upset that a biracial (half black) man became president. Those people, and this was formalized by a certain political party, stirred up as much discord as possible against him and subsequently other prejudiced people felt it was okay to come out with their bigotry. We see that now increasing with a certain political candidate, initials DT, inciting these people because he says it, so it makes them believe it is ok to voice their long held within ideas.

I also think that technology, which really became prominent in the late 90s, internet, has fueled prejudiced because it gave an easy place for people to commiserate about it and band with other people who believed like them, all under an anonymous forum.

And lastly, because there are increasing number of non-whites in the USA, white people are having to share the pie with more non whites, and they are losing power. Some people cannot deal with that and they see it as people discriminating against them, when in may be a leveling of the playing field.

Um no. People vote who THEY want to vote for. If people vote for DT it is because they believe in what he says, thinks he will be a good president. If he wins, no one can be to blame for it except for the people who voted for him, and those who sat home and voted for nobody! If you want to vote for him, go ahead, but don't try to blame the very people whom he has offended as reason for voting for him.

This movie had nothing racially charged in it, except in your own minds. There is no hidden agenda, no message that is saying blacks are inferior or any other potential racism. The actors happen to be white, so what? That isn't an attack on black people.

They aren't waving confederate flags or wearing klan outfits. This is a movie that isn't even grounded in reality and people are arguing about historical accuracy.

Let's be clear here, YOU made it about race. I don't see anyone going "oh thank god they are all WHITE!" but I do see a lot of people going "why aren't they BLACK?"

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.

Making the characters of a fantastical movie all white will never be a problem, and by the way Hathor and Toth weren't white.

If we are going with the argument that the egyptian gods should look like the ancient egyptians, then caucasians missrepresent them, but also black actors wouldn't be right, because ancient egyptians weren't black. In their paintings they clearly distinguish themselves from the nubians.

The point is that this is a fantastic movie, not based in history or reality, so the director has carte blanche to represent these characters any way he wants. It's like in Thor, we have black and asian vikings, and we don't care. It's fantasy.

If you are so easily ofended by a fantastic movie, then you have some issues.

Is not an Egyptian movie. Is a movie about ancient Egyptian mythology. There is a clear difference.

Also, dismissing differing opinions as being from 'white supremacists' not only makes you wrong, it makes you prejudice.

Really try to learn something about history before posting, you don't need all the facts, only a shallow idea about it.

First of all egyptians have been around for more of 6,000 years, and built a great civilization thousands of years before Persia and Greece, and of course Arabs.

Egypt wasn't conquered by the Ayubids, it was conquered by the Rashidun Army (that is in the time of the first four caliphs), 500 years before the Ayubids. And the Ayubids weren't the same that the Mamelukes.

The Ayubids, combined with the Mamelukes, were in power less than 350 years, so from where you got your thousand years defending the middle east?, by the way Egypt isn't part of the Middle East, it refers to Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia.

And the Golden Age of Islam ended around the 11th century, 150 years before the Ayubids.

The ancient egyptians weren't like persians or lebanese, maybe the modern egyptians are, but not the ancient. It is mostly accepted by archeologist and historians that they were light brown, especially the ruling class, but this is still debated. What is clear is that they had a very particular physionomy, not found anywhere else.
