Is the black skin better prepared for Global warming?

From what I understand on global warming, it implies that the world is getting warmer since there would be more heat coming from the sun on the earth. Naturally, we in Nigeria have become kinda used to too much sunlight and I really feel for Africans who still do street hawking during the afternoons when the weather is extremely hot. Nigerians are used to this kind of hot weather but how would it be like if white people came to Nigeria and did all these hussling that we do everyday and still not have skin damage from it.

I know that the black skin has more melanin than the white skin and so maybe better protected than whites in the face of increasing global temperatures. Correct me if I am wrong, but will white people be more adversely affected than black people when it has to do with their skins?
