First off, my son, at least get the name right before requesting Al Zaieem's wise counsel. Consider yourself fortunate that  I'm a benevolent and patient leader, capable of forgiving even the most heinous trangressions by my flock. Now as for your question, a small library of books and articles have been written, fiercely debating the "blackness" of ancient Egyptian civilization. Revisionist historians such as Martin Bernal, author of Black Athena, have argued that the African influence on Pharoanic civilization has been glossed over, and that the real  Cleopatra looked a lot more like Queen Latifa than Liz Taylor. Who you agree with depends largely on whose version of history you buy into. The issue is submerged in enough emotional back-and-forth rhetoric that Al Zaieem isn't even going to try to sort it all out in one humble advice column.
