Urbane_Guerrilla: @Anonymous: Not exactly a convincing way to be racist, though. Looks more like a royal wanking going on.

Anonymous2: And this isn’t a racist depiction ..this is how things actually went down with cleopatra...regardless of how racist the actual moment was, it does retract from the fact that Cleo was a dark lovely Greek pharaoh whom fancied white more like her riches...so stop being the same that say Jesus was black....when he was just regular olive color

Anonymous3: Anon 1, how is this racist? Nobody is being particularly mocked here. All the men are built and have gigantic dicks. They aren't exactly being denigrated.

Anonymous4: @Anonymous: Olive isn’t a skin color. And Jesus was very dark. Go look up the oldest paintings of him and then cry about it.

Anonymous5(4): @Anonymous: If u pay attention to clues like the spilled drink and the fact that Cleo and Mark are sitting on thrones with an Egyptian guy at their feet, it’s meant to symbolize Greco Roman rule over Egypt. And instead of the invading couple suiciding each other by drinking poisoned wine like in real life, the Egyptian man did and died being replaced by the white dude. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that it’s racist, but it is weird nonetheless…
