    Cleopatra was a Greekkk colonizer.

    This kinda feels like Hamilton (if way less egregious). Don't try to rehabilitate the founding fathers by making them black, if you want to write media about an 18th century black people fighting a revolution Haiti is right there.

    Similarly with this, there actually were black people in ancient history. I want stories to be told about them.

    Moreover, stop adapting the same shit from Roman history over and over. Roman history was really long, pick something else.

      Nah, the hoteps won't have that, I think during the BLM movement in 2020 they were going on about how Beethoven was actually black. There are some serious brainworms among African American celebs and hoteps. I think some people in the NBA were heavily involved in this stuff.

      You also can have accurate Cleopatra AND black protagonists. Heck AC Origins did it
