 My grandmother was black. She was a light skinned woman. She passed for “white” in an effort to combat #racism 

Would you be okay with someone like her portraying Cleopatra? 

It’s 2024 & multiple people have mixed blood lines. There is value in accepting that. Your idealized version of humans from the past is flawed. They most certainly were righteous & never killed anyone over something as trivial as their place of birth or religion. That’s sarcasm.
