Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM*

It's clear that Cleopatra was mostly Greek with a a potential admixture of native Egyptian ancestry. Native Egyptians were not black Africans though some may have been partly black; ethnically they were closer to Arabs and Berbers (Berber languages in particular are close to ancient Egyptian etymologically). Plus, considering that most of the Ptolemies married their sisters and nieces in what is arguably the longest-running history of direct family incest in recorded history, her family tree resembles a line, and there were limited opportunities for native Egyptians to diversify the DNA.
However, I'm not sure why that means calling Egyptians "wogs" or placing the blame for the plight of Africa solely on the inability of said "wogs" to govern their "craptacular continent" is acceptable.

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

Did you read his post? There's no reason for an Africanish person to play the part. *NM*

Wait...is the racist part the idiocy of trying to say Cleopatra was black or the "wog" calling part?

Hence, your statement "it's not even a proper use of the term wog" is incorrect. *NM*

I wasn't calling anyone a wog, I was suggesting a likely parallel to the Ptolemies' attitude

I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities.
