Yeah, this Afro-Centrism revisionist history BS is getting ridiculous. 
I know what you mean but this has been going on for a long time. I had a book by Mary Lefkowitz in the 90s (Not Out of Africa) that covered all this afrocentrism. It's well done and helped me win a debate with an Ivy League professor.

The teachings of the Dr. John Henrik Clarke are mind blowing.

I'm not sure anyone's mad as much as flabbergasted by the ignorance.

In particular, Cheese Grits' post.

He added that ancient Egypt was not a black civilization and that the Kingdom of Kush, which ruled Egypt in the 25th Dynasty, had no connection to Pharaonic civilization
Odd that he dismisses Pharaoh Piye , Taharqa & other Black Pharaohs who ruled Egypt centuries before Cleopatra ( with her Nubian Wigs) reigned over a dying Empire.

Odd that Jada Pinkett dismisses them, too.

It's actually pretty funny watching the AAs argue on facebook with the Egyptians who live in Egypt about their own history. It's almost entirely AA spreading their knowledge to the world. Should help race relations tremendously worldwide.

Incorrect. It was not a Netflix show, it was a British production by channel 5 that first aired in America on AMC+ and has never been available on Netflix.

1) Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek
2) Macedonia is a region within historical and modern hellenic world (presently within Greece)
3) North Macedonia is a country not related to historical Macedonia

Cleopatra was 100% not even remotely black.
