They do not emit or reflect light, so there is nothing to see.

Space is transparent so they do not have to reflect light they capture light with gravity so we should be able to see them
 
This thread will be closed to give the OP the opportunity to learn what "see" physiologically means.

There is no light which is emitted by a black hole. We cannot see what is not there. Question answered.
