There are plenty of representations in ancient Egypt that show differentiation between ethnicities, and that includes more than black people. The most common skin color in Egypt, as least judging by the vast majority of representations was redish, tanned skin. That doesn't mean there were not black people or all of them were slaves but it's also far from representations where everybody is black like that MJ video.
Saying all Egyptians were white like this man says is absurd, but so is saying that all of them were black, and I've read that quite a lot.
By the way, isn't Joel Edgerton Ramesses II? Well Ramesses II was a red haired white man.
It wasn't just a matter of skin color in art, they had different names for the different ethnic groups they constructed.

Nah man, painting themselves as how they see each other doesn't mean they cared about skin colour, they are just painting themselves how they look like.
