Which of these colours Black White absorbs heat and which keeps you cooler by reflecting it?
Black absorbs heat, and white reflects it. By heat, this is predominantly heat generated by light, such as sunlight or a lamp. Black is essentially the absence of light, so it absorbs the lights energy and converts it to heat. White is a complete reflection of the light being cast upon it, so more light is reflected off and it stays cooler.

How does the color of shirt affect the amount of heat it absorbs?
It depends on how much light it absorbs, and what kinds. A black shirt absorbs more heat because it is not reflecting any light. a white shirt on the other hand reflects most of the light that hits it. When light is absorbed into something like a shirt, that light energy is transformed into mostly heat energy. So light is either absorbed and turned into heat, or reflected into your eyes. Different colors can have an effect depending on the kinds of light in a light source. You wont notice a huge difference in the sun though.
