Wasn't Cleopatra a swarthy Mediterranean at best?


She certainly wasn't the black woman depicted in this so-called documentary, but nor was she Elizabeth Taylor in the Oscar-winning movie. They say she was Greek, and so would've been of that kind of caucasian race, but not so white.

In any case, this documentary is an insult to everyone, except woke nutters who would like to blackwash history.

AN INSULT TO EVERYONE.🤣

Alexander the Great was a blonde with blue eyes, so I think Cleopatra could've looked like Liz.

She's never portrayed as swarthy. Only white. That's the problem.

Nobody said she was black. They're only suggesting her mother or grandmother could've been Egyptian since they weren't known. Her half sister had a black mother so it's not impossible.

It's racist to be so outraged at the thought of someone having a black ancestor.
