Why is the race of Ancient Egyptians debated so much?

Since its in Africa, I think its obvious they were mostly light-skinned Africans with maybe a few Arabians and a few Europeans. I think Hollywood films like Cleopatra (1963) are attempts (that failed) to cash in on the majority of American audiences by re-writing history.
 
Films are nothing to go on, I've noticed that the majority of "Indians" in Cowboy movies are white men with feathers in their hair.

Of course they were Africans, do not however confuse that with "negro" as all Arabs are Africans as well.

as to Cleopatra, the re-writing of history is coming from the other direction, the most laughable was Cleopatra was black, hell she was not even Egyptian, she was Greek
 
Absolutely. Plus the fact that there are generations of Caucasians who refuse to believe that 'ignorant savages' (which is how they think of ALL Africans, past and present) could possibly have built the great cities of Egypt and formed the government, done the creative and cultural things that Egyptians did. In other words, it's just plain old bias and prejudice clouding their judgement. Unfortunatley, too many people listen to that nonsense.
