I see modern scholars stating they had both European and African features, so maybe that's what you mean by "multi-racial," but I'm not seeing evidence that ancient Egyptians were black
No, they are thought to have been a mix with the Northern areas being more white and the Southern areas being more black. Do you even know where Egypt is located and how big it's empire used to be? It's in Northwest Africa and used to go all the way down into Sudan which at that point was known as Nubia. A black person in ancient Egypt would not be out of place at all.

With all of the race swapping with superheroes, this is by far one of the least bizarre. A character whose two most common origins involve north Africa and an alien planet.

I've seen a lot of bitching about this online and I'm convinced most people don't even know where Egypt is located.

It is a character that dies and resurrects as a different person, so I don't mind it in theory.
We all know what the reaction would be if this Hawkman dies and they cast a white man to take his place. That double standard is the problem.
Well, that and the fact that hiring solely for diversity rarely results in a decent film.

My brain farted hard. I meant to say north east. 
Either way the point is its in Africa and went as far down as Sudan.

Current Egyptians? Yes. Ancient Egyptians? Maybe not.

Researchers from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, both in Germany, have decoded the genome of ancient Egyptians for the first time, with unexpected results.
Publishing its findings in Nature Communications, the study concluded that preserved remains found in Abusir-el Meleq, Middle Egypt, were closest genetic relatives of Neolithic and Bronze Age populations from the Near East, Anatolia and Eastern Mediterranean Europeans.
