So it's incorrect to say Cleopatra was Black or white... when her actual skin color was green and she was a Reptilian? That's how she built the pyramids with her Spaceship's anti-grav gun?
Makes sense.
I think the point is that you can't look back into the past and pin people with modern concepts of blackness and whiteness as if they're universal concepts that stretch all the way back into the past. The ancients did not conceptualize race for one. And depending on the time period blackness and whiteness were more about moral character more than anything else which is why in the Middle Ages "Moors" were frequently depicted as having black skin. In the Cursor Mudi there is a pitch black "Moor" who converts to Christianity and has his skin turn white for example. It is around this time where Kleopatra starts to be depicted as black because of her moral character by European writers.
