Next, they’ll be telling us that Cleopatra was African-American.

I just did some quick research on both Cleo and Jesus.

Cleopatra's sister was Macedonian (Ptolemy clan) and probably Numbian (black African). There is uncertainty that the sisters had both parents the same. So, Cleopatra was quite possibly AfroGreek.

Jesus's ethnicity? The opinions are all over the place. One pointed out that "Jew" refers to a religion, not an ethnic group. Many believe that Jesus was Syrian-Philistine and "Philistine" became "Palistinian". Others say he was born in Bethlehem, which makes his ethnicity the ancestors of Palestinians. Others have plenty of research from the Bible and history saying his mother and adopted father came from Jewish tribes. A few Muslims chime in and say they have common heritage with Jesus.

I prefer to believe that all mankind can lay claim to Jesus in some way, thus he is the savior of us all.
