How to install hanging light fixture with only black wires and one bare silver wire?

My ceiling box has one each white, black and copper wire. The fixture only has black and a bare silver wire. The rubber part of the black wire in the fixture seems to be connected and you can pull it apart resulting in two black wires with copper in the middle. How to connect these to the wires in the ceiling box?
Used the advice from the first answer. Worked perfectly without killing myself. Thanks for saving me the cost of a pro.

if it’s a simple fixture, it really makes no difference which wire hooks up to which wire in the ceiling box. If you are really concerned, look at the two black wires carefully… you will see one of them has ridges on it… use that as the one connected to the black wire in the ceiling box, then hook the other one to the white wire.

The silver one is ground.
