According to the Beverly Hillbillies, black gold is oil.  :DD

Would he have been talking about the marbles, they could resemble 'black gold' nuggets?

I think he means oil - the influence from oil-rich nations and the gradual slide to the middle east in terms of races.

If it is about that, then tough titty toenails! That is the way of the world these days.

I'm off for a lamb shahslik with plenty of spice, inshallah.
