Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I assume it comes from the misconception that all Africans are black. Egypt has always been ethnically diverse - and anyway, Cleopatra was Greek. Plus, modern conceptions of race don't map on neatly to ancient times.
