Ew. Stop. "White” is a Western invention used to excuse slavery and colonialism during the last several hundred years.
Living in the Mediterranean, I doubt ancient Greeks thought of themselves as white. In fact, because you could use landmasses to travel down to Africa, it's more likely they experienced people in gradients. Back then, the world was divided by language, not race. Those who spoke Greek were Greeks, those who did not were barbarians.
"White" is based not just on looks – it is based on culture too. You see that with Arabs. In the Middle East they are not seen as white by Americans, but if they come to America or UK and take on White American ways, they are (think Steve Jobs and Zayne).
... "White" can also simply refer to their skin tone. And people were calling Cleopatra black based on the assumption that because she was Egyptian she had to be black, which is wrong.

Jesus Christ sis, you know I love you, but stop posting because you are not even kind of close to being correct
I don't care if you are blue or green, she still was not white.
You must have missed my last post, could you provide a source that conclusively demonstrates that Cleopatra was not white? You say it so definitively that I assume you must have some academic source that demonstrates with 100% certainty that she was not.
You can't mangle Allah's name in a video that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam or Islamic culture and burn it in a setting where it didn't exist. (There was no Islam at Cleopatra's time). This is offensive to Muslims. I don't like a joke at the expense of my God's name and I wouldn't do it for people of other religions.

I was told her grandmother was a concubine that today would be identified as a black woman.
Also, no one has yet to find solid proof that she was either black or white. There are always loopholes.
We know she might have had a Sub-Saharan African mother.
She could have been white, black, or mixed. There isn't a consensus on what color she was. Stop trying to make yourself seem smarter by stating your theories as facts.
It's still up in there whether she was "white" or not, but regardless, opinions are opinions. However just because you "studied" or "researched" it doesn't make your opinion a solidified fact and superior to someone else's
