NO. in so very many ways, NO.
Yes, there are Black staff members at Buckingham Palace, as the royal household has made efforts to promote diversity and inclusion within its workforce. The palace has also acknowledged the importance of reflecting the multicultural society of the UK. In recent years, initiatives have been launched to recruit a more diverse staff, including people from various ethnic backgrounds.
1. Buckingham Palace is The Queen's official London residence, but St. James's Palace is the ceremonial Royal residence. Even today foreign ambassadors are formally accredited to 'the Court of St. James's'. 2. Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. 3. Vital statistics: Buckingham Palace is 108 metres long across the front, 120 metres deep (including the quadrangle) and 24 metres high. The total floor area of the Palace, from basement to roof, covers over 77,000 square metres. 4. The site where Buckingham Palace now stands was originally a mulberry garden planted by King James I (r. 1603-25) to rear silkworms. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong kind of mulberry bush, and silk production never took off in Britain. 5. Buckingham Palace gets its name from an eighteenth-century Tory politician. John Sheffield, 3rd Earl of Mulgrave and Marquess of Normanby, was created Duke of Buckingham in 1703. He built Buckingham House for himself as a grand London home. 6. In 1761, George III bought Buckingham House for his wife, Queen Charlotte, to use as a comfortable family home close to St James's Palace. Buckingham House became known as the Queen's House, and 14 of George III's 15 children were born there. 7. Buckingham House was transformed into Buckingham Palace in the 1820s by the architect John Nash for George IV. But the first monarch to use Buckingham Palace as their official residence was Queen Victoria, who moved there in 1837. The previous monarch - William IV - had preferred to live at Clarence House and to use St. James's Palace for State functions. 8. Buckingham Palace is an office for the Head of State, as well as a home for The Queen. Today over 800 members of staff are based at Buckingham Palace. Their jobs range from housekeeping to horticulture, catering to correspondence. Some of the more unusual jobs include fendersmith, clockmaker and flagman. 9. The forecourt of Buckingham Palace, where Changing the Guard takes place, was not created until 1911, when it was added as part of a scheme to commemorate Queen Victoria. The gates and railings were also completed in 1911. 10. The Palace gained its familiar white Portland stone facade in 1913, because the original soft French stone had decayed due to pollution. Architect Sir Aston Webb created the new design. People at the time were surprised by the transformation of the front from grimy black to gleaming white.
the black forest is called that because all the trees put together make it look black.
they were called ''colored'' and ''nigers'' being called that now is an EXTREME insult

They do not, this sounds like confusion between the bearskin hats worn by Buckingham Palace's ceremonial guards. The hats worn by the Yeomen Wardens, aka 'Beefeaters', are small.

The soldiers who stand guard outside Buckingham Palace are all members of various regiments of the British Army and the hats that they wear will depend on the regiment that they belong to. If you are thinking about the tall black hats that some of them wear, they are often incorrectly called 'busbys' but should properly be called bearskins. They were originally made of bear's skins but are now made from a synthetic material.
