Hmmm, black...
Is the black part of the fruit, like as in, it's a bonafide streak of black colored fruit, in a line like as if it were a reverse skunk? Or is the black a rotten line? Or is it something else. Cut one open, and examine the inside and report back your findings. I'm intrigued.

This sounds to me as if you have a hybrid of some type that just sort of made it's way into your garden. If so, it might be a value to someone somewhere other than just for eating. Real commercial value to hybrids you know.-
Black streaks on peppers
I also have this problem with my peppers with the black streaking. The streaking color actually has a purpleish tint to it. It starts as a streak and gradually turns dark on the bottom half of the pepper and gradually moves up them. There is no rotting on or in the peppers either. They look fine except for the dark color on them.
