Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, from North Africa, was supposedly black as well. Not a problem for the Romans.

I think Septimius Severus was probably a Berber. Not every African is or was Black, and black ethnocentrists would have us believe.

Interesting family portrait of the Emperor Septimus Severus and his family, especially with the face of his son Geta obliterated, which was done by the order of his other son, the Emperor Caracalla. I agree with the other poster that the Severans were from the Roman province of Africa, the former home territory of the Carthaginians, and populated by Berbers. Carthaginian (Punic) descendants, and people from around the Empire.
The Pharaohs were all black idiots even try to say that Cleopatra's family (the Ptolemy's) were black when in fact they were 100% Greek.
