user12645: When using Stockfish it gives options/hints for both white and black. How do I make it so it only shows hints of moves for black? I am using mac.

user12402: Just use Stockfish within a database program and pick the "play against engine" option.

user18873: I assume you want this so that you can train against the engine by playing the suggestion for black and then thinking about what to play as white?
Lichess allows this on their website. Set up a position in the board editor or analysis board, then pick "Practice against computer". If you like, it will even evaluate your moves as you go, telling you if you made a mistake, blunder, a good move but not the strongest move etc.
I often do this because too often I reach a winning position and then go on to squander my advantage. I go back to the winning position and see how to actually convert it.
