Whether the Egyptians like it or not. Egypt is in Africa. Egyptians are Africans. Cleopatra is the queen of Egypt. Which is an African country. If she wanted to be Greek then she should have been the Queen of Greek! The Queen of England was German. But everyone would class her as British. And so by that reasoning. Cleopatra is African.

No she's European, the Queen of England Elizabeth the second was of German decent but she's still European, that's literally not comparable. I mean like seriously, wtf are y'all talking about?

Egypt has had several European pharaohs throughout the years. Heck, Alexander the Great was the pharaoh of Egypt for a while.

Cleopatra was not black, she has Greek ancestry from the Ptolemaic dynasty. The family was inbred (i.e., brothers marrying sisters) for several generations and centuries. And yes, there were some black rulers in Egypt but she wasn't one of them.
