Black oil is normal. So are black fingernails from working on anything with diesel oil on them, the carbon won't wash off very well.

Change your filter again, no need to change the oil. All the crud washed loose in the engine will be sitting in the filter -- good place for it, but the filter will plug, if it isn't already, and you will be running unfiltered oil soon.

Happy driving!
