• "...Netflix’s casting was informed by the views of Shelley Haley, a renowned classicist and Cleopatra expert, who claims that, although evidence of her ancestry and physical attributes are inconclusive, Cleopatra was culturally Black.

How's that now?

• First, no, "evidence of her ancestry and physical attributes" is not inconclusive...
• Second, "culturally Black" is just word salad, brought to you by the same societal segment that slanderized “oreo” and acked up “multiracial whiteness.”

Now, ponder the breadth of human history.

Show me a culture that hasn't "known oppression and trump, exploitation and survival." 

It is the totality of human existence, and it is only the past couple hundred years (see: the Enlightenment) that broke from that mold.

• If being "culturally Black" means there is oppression in your past, then Jews (see: the Book of Exodus) are "culturally Black." Greeks, Russians, Ukrainians, Italians, Hungarians, and Romanians (see: the Ottoman Empire) are "culturally Black." Native Americans (see: the Aztec empire and "each other") are "culturally Black." Tibetans and Uyghurs (see: China) are "culturally Black." Eastern Chinese (see: Japan 1937-1945) are "culturally Black." Indians (see: the Raj) are "culturally Black." Pasty-skinned Irish and Scots (see: England) are "culturally Black." The Saxons (see: the Normans) are "culturally Black." Heck, all those of the British Isles (see: the Romans) are "culturally Black." Women in Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Algeria, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Morocco, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia (see: Islamic law) are "culturally Black."
• Which brings us to "women." Since for most of human civilization's six millennia women were subordinate to men, all women are "culturally Black."...
