I am confused as to why some black people, mainly african americans, are continually claiming people of other races as black people? Prime examples are Jesus, who was an Aramaic Speaking Hebrew, Cleopatra, who was an ethnic Greek, last in line of Ptolemy Dynasty, A couple of early popes, who happened to be born in the Roman province of "Africa" which was actually on the coast of modern Algeria and Libya (where the inhabitants have never been black), and most commonly the ancient Egyptians, of whom we have various mummified bodies, so we know their DNA and appearance was not African(check out pictures of Ramses2, copper coloured straight hair, huge hooked nose), nor dit they speak a language connected in any way to any spoken in sub saharan africa. Ive even heard claims that an ancient Pictish king was actually black, and that my own people the Assyrians were really black, so therefore i couldnt be one! Mind you Simon Bolivar WAS actually black, as was Victor Hugo(well partly).
