This sort of controversy happens because of the poor education in this country. Educated people know Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek (northern Greece/southern Serbia/Yugoslavia) from the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Cleopatra was a European—BUT she embraced Egyptian culture, religion, speech, dress, and hired Egyptians for her Government. She was an Egyptian and loved by the people of Egypt. Egyptians were not racist in any way. As long as you drank from the Nile, Worshiped one of their 3,000 Gods, spoke Copt (the language of Egypt) and liked cats—you were an Egyptian. Race was meaningless and silly to them. So some Pharaohs were Black (fact), some were White (also Fact) most were Brown (Fact). Stop imposing American 21st Century Racism on them.
