In short you can't, not with simulate paper color. If you make the paper black then nothing appears because you've already used maximum ink. There are special inks available for this but its not something Illustrator simulates very well.

See this question for a little more information: Printing in black paper?

What you probably want to do is set the default back so you have a white background instead of simulating black paper. Then create a black box the size of your art area and create new objects on top of it (which are the layers Rvervuurt was referring to).
