It`s called a black hole because light cannot "escape it". If light can`t escape it then no reflection of light is possible, and any visual-spectrum based picture taken of it would be seen as a "black hole". If you were to look at a black hole with your own eyes, you would see a bend in reality. The matter trapped in it`s event horizon might not even be seen. It would look as if it`s a massive black bubble that refracts light 90 degrees in every direction. You twit. A white hole would be a star or your mouth filled with infectious cancerous growths.
