We still have no idea how the black blood works and if there is even any correlation between ALIE 2.0 and the black blood (i.e. some sort of AI component in the blood). So, Clarke might not need the black blood (no one might need black blood). Also, Clarke is "genetically engineered" so maybe even though she doesn't have black blood, she could still have the AI components (if they go that route on the show).

I'm honestly really waiting for their answer on how the black blood is passed on because it's night like any of the Nightbloods live long enough to procreate. I totally agree, i think Clarke doesn't need the black blood 'cause she, like all Skykru, was genetically engineered.

I really think the black blood is a gene that's genetically passed on throughout generations, and in some people it manifests and so they have black blood, and it doesn't on the others, so they have normal blood.
