>>Sorry to ruin your righteous indignation, but Cleopatra was white. She was a direct descendant of Ptolemy, a Greek general. The Ptolemaic Dynasty was notorious for inbreeding and not marrying outside the family. She most definitely was Greek and not African.<<


I'm sorry but you're going to have to provide some sort of proof for your statement. I've read several scholars and not all would agree w/ your statement. Yes Cleopatra is a decendant of Ptolemy but the rest of her heritage is in wide dispute.
