In answer to your question, in Sudan are numbers of people known as Arabs, and of Arabian descent, who to N Americans seem to be black Africans; thus we see this is somewhat a cultural/linguistic distinction; the construct of race, while having some validity, is a construct, and not one that exists or is prominant in all cultures. This helps to confuse matters when the N American newsmedia refer to the black Arabs as Arabs and the black Chrisitians and animists as black.
