They are seen as lower class people (most of them are poor)
they can get racist sometimes

I mean, when Africans left Africa for the first time and arrived in Iraq they were probably still black(or atleast Ethiopid), so technically they were the first humans there, but yeah, those guys evolved or were genocided by Caucasoids, these guys are just descendants of the Arab slave trade.

Well people back then weren't exactly like modern races.

True, but it's like the saying "we evolved from chimps". We didn't really evolve from chimps, we evolved from a common ancestor that looked more like a chimp than a human. Same thing with humans, we didn't really evolve from black people, a common ancestor, but closer to black people than any other race, so it's still reasonable to say we evolved from black people.

They are descendants of the Zanj...from Zanzibar. They even had a slave revolt in the 10th century and ruled the southern part of Iraq (corresponding to where the Shia currently reside).
