Same answer as before: Everyone should where sunscreen regardless of race. Everyone can have a sunburn and everyone can have the negative effects of the sun. Here you go: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/26/us/black-skin-sunscreen.html

Everyone needs to use sun screen. Even if you have dark skin you are still prone to skin cancers like others. Risk maybe lower but still exist.
