To answer your question...no, it's not "normal" to have black shits. If it's a true black, tarry color, then that is a sign of "old blood".

Make an appt with your Dr., there is a quick and simple test they can do to determine if there is occult blood in your stool.

Good Luck.
But seriously, MistressRacin, that IS good advice.
