I would probably opt for a class instead of an id in case you want to reuse it later:

<a href="http://www.whatever.com" class="blackWhite">Click Here</a>

a.blackWhite, a.blackWhite:visited { font: ...; color: #fff; }
a.blackWhite:hover, a.blackWhite:active { color: #000; }

Then you can just use the css class on any anchor tag you may want but for sure, as prezzz used... break it out into the style sheet. That way you can update it whenever you want without searching through mounds of copy...
