The people today called "Moors" were Arabs originally from the marshy regions of Iraq and Iran. They conquered the Middle East and all of North Africa, including Morocco (from which the Moors got their name). So they were (and are) neither black nor white, but have olive-coloured or deeply tanned skin. They intermixed with the original Berber people of Morocco, who had similar tan-colour skin (being closely related to the ancient Egyptians).
The Moors took many black African slaves, some of whom were given freedom and rose to prominent positions in Moorish Arabic society - but these formed only a small minority. It is likely that many black African troops also served in the Moorish armies, as a kind of slave labour corps.
