Was Cyrus the Great a Kurd?
Cause it would explain why the Kurdish Medes bowed to him and accepted him as their leaders. And it would also seem that the Persian Darius I usurped him and his Kurdish Empire after killing Cambysses II of Achaemenid Kurdistan so people started calling it "the Persian empire".
You could tell how Darius lineage was full of weak Persians unlike Cyrus and his ancestors/son, that would join their soldiers on the battlefield and fight like fierce Kurdish lions, but also rule over their subjects with humility and respect befitting a Kurdish ruler. Meanwhile the disgusting Persians would treat them like shit (which is why so many revolutions happened) and lead their mean to pointless wars and death.

Cyrus probably lived before the ethnogenesis of the kurds. Certainly if cyrus has descendants, then some of his descendants are kurdish, but you need more evidence before you could claim that he was kurdish as opposed to a half-persian/half-mede which we know he was.
Even if you suggest that the medes and the kurds are the same people, it must be mentioned that his father was persian while his mother was mede.

He was black. His real name is Cyrone. The picture you present is a propaganda work of white people

No scholar accepts the Medes and Kurds as the same people. That's an outdated theory.

Kurds are gypsy nomads without a home, so no.

Yes, and that hypothesis has been refuted.
"Contemporary linguistic evidence has challenged the previously suggested view that the Kurds are descendants of the Medes.[61][62] Gernot Windfuhr (professor of Iranian Studies) identified the Kurdish languages as Parthian, albeit with a Median substratum.[63] David Neil MacKenzie, an authority on the Kurdish language, said Kurdish was relatively [more] closer to Persian and questioned the “traditional” view holding that Kurdish, because of its differences from Persian, should be regarded a “NW-Iranian” language .[64] Garnik Asatrian stated that "The Central Iranian dialects, and primarily those of the Kashan area in the first place, as well as the Azari dialects (otherwise called Southern Tati) are probably the only Iranian dialects, which can pretend to be the direct offshoots of Median ... In general, the relationship between Kurdish and Median are not closer than the affinities between the latter and other North Western dialects — Baluchi, Talishi, South Caspian, Zaza, Gurani, etc."[6]

Filthy Western "scholar" lies.

Confirmation bias isn't good when approaching scholarly works. Also, here's a picture of a Persian.
We come from the same ethos, Kurd, and we shouldn't really work to divide ourselves if we want to become strong again.

K*rts are like niggers: they behave like chimpanzees and constantly attempt to steal culture and history from more civilized beings.
I wouldn't be surprised if they start claiming the Ottoman Empire as K*rdish.

True members of the Aryan race like the Kurds still have their old Median characteristics.

Kurds don't really look like that on average though, and look at the way Ancient Sassanids depicted themselves in Mosaic Art.

nah persians are the bastard sons of whores and arab sperm
No.
Cyrus was a Persian. Kurds are Medes.
