They actually taste the air with their tongues. When they bring the tongues into their mouths, the tongues press against sense organs in the head.
If you mean tongues, then yes, quite a few snakes have black tongues, but many also have red tongues, and some even have differently colored tongues than that. For example, the Red-Tailed Green Rat snake (Gonyosoma oxycephala) has a blue tongue.
Snakes 'taste' the air with their tongues. They draw odor particles into their mouths and taste them with their Jacobson's organ in the roof of the mouth. It is a manner for exploring their environment and searching for food.
