Anybody can get a sunburn. The melanin in the darkest skin tone only gives a baseline SPF of around 10. While they are far less likely to get burns, it's still possible and when they develop skin cancer it's usually diagnosed in a later stage with a negative prognosis.

Sunburns are radiation burns, and doesn't have to include red skin to be present.
