If the story of Noah and the biblical Flood is literally true, then absolutely everyone is descended from Noah. However, there are sound and convincing reasons for believing that the story of Noah and the biblical Flood is not literally true. Black Africans do have the same ancestry as the rest of humanity, but this was far earlier than the biblical story.

Who was Noah's second child?

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the second son.Ham is also infamous as the originator of the 'Curse of Ham': having seen his father drunk and naked,* he told his sons about the deed; whereas his brothers covered their faces, and their father's sin with raiment (clothing). As a result, the descendants of Ham (the Canaanites, or black Africans) were reputed to have been mistreated and enslaved by the early Jews.*Which possibly was a Biblical euphemism for the act of committing adultery.
