Of all choices, I like "black" best. Admittedly, there are a wide variety of skin tones, many of which do not fall under the color "black", but then again, I've seen only a few people whose skin tone was honestly "white", but that term seems to be commonly accepted.
Also, it has the advantage of being a description and not a race. Because really, there are not all that many situations where categorizing someone by their race is acceptable to me, whereas describing someone by their skin color should be as natural as describing them by their size, or hair or eye color. The two are sadly often mixed together, though.
