No, but that is because I m german, not chinese. I have met many black people in Germany who spoke fluently german, I have seen black singers in Sweden and Danmark giving interviews in danish and swedish.
Anyone can learn any language, it never has anything to do with skincolour! Maybe the chinese language is so rarely spoken among us, because it is a completely different language system.
While both romanic (spanish, french, italian, portuguese, rumansch) and germanic languages (english, german, dutch, swedish, danish, norwegian, icelandic) have similar systems (we have nouns, verbs, adjectives, genders, subjects, objects etc.), the chinese language is not working like that. I don't speak it, I have just read about it.
So, I figure for any person with a germanic or romanic language background (those are most of us, I guess?), this can be extremely difficult to learn.
So, maybe that is the reason why black people did not learn any chinese language. The same reason that WE didn't learn it.
I am sure when a black family moves to China and has children, those children will be fluent in mandarin (or whatever other chinese language they speak where they live)

If you made the decision in understanding to talk Chinese then you need to now that the greatest selection is a Program for Mandarin.

Nope, but I saw a Chinese man speak with an Australian accent. That was pretty funny.
