I don't know how likely it is that SSA people would have married into the Carthaginian elites, but I guess it's not impossible. However I think we can exclude that he looked like a full-blood Negroid. As for Achilles, he was not even a Trojan, he was a Greek and the Iliad describes him as fair. The most likely candidate for a SSA was Memnon, as he was described as Ethiopian. However, since Ethiopia at the time was a broad geographical term, it doesn't necessarily mean he was full SSA either, but that's certainly possible, and he was depicted as such in some classical art, for instance in a Greek vase from the VI century BC and in a Roman bust.
I don't understand why some people think that challenging unfounded claims from Afro-centrists equates to hate Black people. Some White Nationalists also make baseless claims, for instance that the Taj Mahal was made by the Indoeuropean ancestors of the Indians. BS is BS, wherever it comes from, and it should be challenged.
