Sadly it does make a difference, for the worse. Not only will etchings to the clearcoat be more obvious on a black car, but the black paint of course absorbs heat better than any other colour and so in strong sunlight it will 'cook' new droppings into your paint more quickly.
The best thing you can do is clay, polish and use synthetic sealant or wax to give as much protection as you can. Beyond that, try to remove the droppings as fast as you can when you see them.
On my ZT I've just had to use a rotary and compound to remove stains on the roof which had permanently etched-in. Sadly either the p/o couldn't care less or didn't know how to remove them (I'm going for the former, considering the overall poor condition of the paint on the car). You don't want to have to do that very often if you can help it.
