Black culture has a lot of things to claim but I don't think Cleopatra isn't one. Even if it turns out Cleopatra has some Egyptian lineage, pretty much no Egyptian identifies as Black. I actually used to work with immigrant from northern Africa and none I've worked with identify as Black or African American. Interestingly, many Moroccans identify as Caucasians.
Blackness is a uniquely American concept born from the history, struggle, oppression of African descendants forced into the American colonies. Eve n Black Hispanics do not necessarily identify with Black Americans.
