So is this like when white liberals and blacks claim that white historical figures - like Hannibal or Cleopatra - were black?
Yup and it's even more egregious for the case of Hannibal - he wasn't black OR white - but of Canaanite origin, so brown Lebanese!
Cleo was a pure Macedonian Greek with perhaps at best some Persian genes from her great-great-great-grandmother, a daughter of Seleucus the Great and a Persian noble woman
Though the way that family had full-brothers marrying full-sisters means that their gene pool was VERY concentrated
He probably looked like one of these Lebanese lads
And if they want to go back in history, why not hold REAL sub-Saharan black skinned heroes?
Like
Pharaoh Shabaka of the 25th dynasty - the Nubians who conquered Egypt and restored much of its cultural heritage after the Assyrian conquest
King Mansa Musa of the Mali empire
Or the great Ethiopian rulers like Yekuno Amlak
or the way that Christianity was preserved in Nubia and sudan until the 12th century when it was snuffed out by the Mohammedans --> I strongly recommend The Faras gallery at the National museum in Warsaw, Poland
