I’m no expert, but I think it’s got something to do with prolonged exposure to the sun

But melanin is a shield for it, and the more melanin the darker the skin. As black people usually have a very dark skin, they have a lot of melanin and thus are way more protected against the sun than the average 60 yo fat guy that’s sunburnt red

Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it’s still possible and when they develop skin cancer it’s usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.

Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn’t have to include red skin to be present.

It works the same way it works for anyone else who is in direct sunlight for too long. Black people can get melanoma too.

“All skin tones are susceptible to sun damage. Sunburn will cause darker skin tones to go darker, and the skin will feel hot and painful to touch. While darker skin tones are less likely to burn, almost anyone can get sunburnt or develop skin cancer.”
