There has been unmistakenly black pharaohs, they came from what is now Sudan, but ruled the whole Egypt of the time. I'm not saying Cleopatra is related to them, but black pharaohs did happen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Dynasty_of_Egypt

Yeah I know about them, also there were some pretty powerful rulers and kingdoms in Africa, I don't have an issue with that, but when Jada Smith makes a "documentary" about how she was black, without scientific consensus then that's kinda wrong imo, it would actually be cultural appropriation unlike copying some haircut
