There weren't any black warriors in the Iliad or any classical Greek canon for that matter. It's Memnon you're referring to (who wasn't even in the Iliad), and given that the same people who say he was black are also the same people who think that Achilles and Patroclus (along with the rest of Greek society) were gay, I wouldn't give much credence to something like that either.
