it depends.. are the pants black too? B/c then for sure no white socks.. If the pants are Kahki's.. then you can get away with it.
just take your socks off, roll them up, and stuff them in your pants. No one will be looking at your ankles anymore. problem solved!!
Are you Michael Jackson? No? THEN DON'T DO IT BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE A GOOBER.
If you think it "doesn't look bad" then you are obviously not fit to dress yourself. Have mommy help you next time.

Remember Cliff Claven from Cheers. He was the postman who almost always wore white socks with the dark blue postal worker pants and black shoes. It looks very silly.

I think the problem comes when you walk. Lets assume you have properly fitted pants that either hit or break at the top of your shoes (I don't want to argue which is better). In that case, when you stand up, your socks are covered and you see all black from the waist down. But now start walking, the knee bend raises the pants, exposing your socks. If you have black socks, then all you see is black from the waist down. But what if you wear white socks? Then while walking, for half the time you don't see your sock, and half of the time you do see the sock on each leg. So while looking at a leg you see black/white/black/white/black/white/etc. It is like those annoying flash ads on some websites. The point of getting dressed up with black pants and shoes is too look good - not to look like a stupid flashing advertisement.
That said, I don't care if people wear white socks with black shoes and pants.

white socks w/black shoes are ok, provided you're wearing light colored casual pants or denim. White socks look terrible with black/very dark pants though (regardless of shoe color).
Never wear white socks with dress pants.
Never...never...NEVER!!
Where I used to work, some guy always wore white socks with any dress pants (grey, khaki, black, you name it) and always wore dark-colored shoes. Total DORK look!
That's as bad as wearing dark socks with sandals on the beach!
