By American standards (and by most European/North African standards as well I would guess) these people are "Black". They are also indigenous North Africans (Berber/Tuareg/Sahrawis). Black/White is a social category much more than a biological one. Not every Berber or North African is Caucasian. Some ethnic/linguistic/religious/national groups do not precisely match up with "race".

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
