The question has it's answer buried within.



(BTW, most of the black native Libyans are not
Tuareg.) Lighter hued coastals look upon most
non-Libyan Twareg recruited by Qadhafi as blacks.

1300 miles away, darker hued Maliens class them as white.

Meanwhile they use yellow as their self-determined colour
and label coastals white while classing most Maliens grey.


What makes the coastals colour call accurate and correct
and that of Maliens or the Kel Tamasheq themselves wrong?


Since the conflict is Maliens versus Kel Ifoghas
I trust their word over coastals or anybody else.

It goes back to the days of the Songhai and Mali empires.
This is what, in a major way, drives the Kel Ifoghas vs
Malien discord. Long before there was a western science
of physical anthropology and its classification of race
the people of this region of Africa developed their own
racial concepts and couldn't care less what outsiders say.



Since race is a social construct the race of any one
breeding population will vary pending which society
view is considered. Sometimes many societies' views
converge on the racial identity of a breeding population
and, as in this case, there are times different societies'
opinions do not at all agree.


The Kel Ifogrhas (main branch of Kel Tamasheq in Mali)
view themselves as composed of three races corresponding
to their class structure i.e., red, green, and black approximate
noble, vassal, and slave. But all reds aren't nobles nor
are all blacks slaves. Also, there are green nobles and
green slaves.

This is the thing people dont seem to understand. People both Eurocentrics and Afrocentrics and Berbercentrics as well like to pretend the Berbers/Moors were either All black or all off-white Pseudo-Europeans. The fact is the Berbers have blacks and so called whites but most are intermediate between both. Afrocentrics have this fantasy that the Berbers were blacks controlling "Da White Man" in Europe and while some of the North Africans who came to Power in the Mediterranean Empires like Rome and Spain were "Blacks" most were not. Al-Rahman III of Andalucia(probably the most powerful of the Andalucian Moors) was described as a Red Head with blue eyes.

The funny part is that as anti-black Berbers are, their culture is WAY more similar to the Blacks than to European whites.
