"I remember my grandmother telling me, I don't care what they teach you in school, Cleopatra was black."
fuck schools.

Except no. I absolutely believe that some of the pharoahs were black. Maybe Hatshepsut for example. But Cleopatra was Greek.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-02 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
DA. Yeah, Cleopatra being Greek is pretty well documented.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-03 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and trying to claim that she was black is also erasing the fact that she was very likely at least partially Iranian/Persian on her mother's side. So it isn't even like there wasn't a high probability that she was POC! Just not black.

There were in fact whole Nubian dynasties and also other pharaos who were likely black, but yep, Cleo is kinda one of the few where we know she wasn't.

Well, the grandmother in this scenario is dumb as fuck because Cleopatra was Greek. Famously.

Stay in school, kids.

Less fuck schools and more fuck a considerable body of contemporary proof. But hey, why let that stand in the way of ideological bullshit.
