I'm vibing with the OP, but a few things:

race is 100% a social construct. I'm not saying racism isn't real. hopefully i can skip over some of this, but it's literally not real. we CHOOSE which features we want to identify with what races, but we might as well have chosen earlobes or foot shape as the defining racial feature.

literally greece and africa are a boat-ride apart. there is no difference.

people, unfortunately, are fucking stupid.

you can't place a line between black and white, it's only in the extreme examples that race even exists (i.e. in a pale irish vs the darkest-skinned person on earth).

literally a social construct.

true facts: they cannot tell your race based on your DNA. yet they can? only through an additional ancestry DNA database (with racial information volunteered) can people tell your race through your DNA. essentially, if a scientist, given your DNA and no additional information, would be incapable of saying what race you were.

we focus so much on 4 traits: skin color, eye shape, nose shape, and hair type.

everything else genetic:

-earlobe type
-foot shape
-hand shape
-height
-thick vs thin
-chin shape
-eye color
-heart disease

we DON'T consider part of race.

It make, literally, no fucking sense at all, on top of being stupid as fuck even IF it did make sense (i.e. races were somehow different species likes orcs and elves).

again, literally make no fucking sense, but to answer the OP "cleopatra was black" makes about as much sense as anything because the idea of someone even being "black" or "white" doesn't even make fucking sense.

if, for example, we lined up every CEuser in a line base on any characteristic that you chose (i.e. skin color or w/e) you would not be able to point to the person who was "white" and the person who was "black"

it's fucking bullshit.

anyway, cleopatra was greek, literally we all know what greek ppl look like. they look half-black.

literally race is fucking dumb.
