With each individual spin there is a 50% chance that it will be black (assuming no 0/00).

However, the stastical odds of it being black consecutive times is reduced exponentially the more times it is consecutively black.

(again, assuming no 0/00)
On a single spin:
Black: 50%
Red: 50%

On two spins:
Both black: 25%
Both red: 25%
1Red/1Black: 50%

On three spins:
3 Black: 12.5%
3 Red: 12.5%
1 Black 2 Red: 37.5%
2 Black 1 Red: 37.5%

On four spins:
4 Black: 6.25%
4 Red: 6.25%
1 Black 3 Red: 25%
2 Black 2 Red: 37.5%
3 Black 1 Red: 25%

The furthur down the chain you go the likelyhood of consecutive colors is reduced.
