Default spark plug evaluation.....the dark side!

pulled my plugs today(Bosch Platinums), and noticed big difference between driver side plugs and passenger side plugs. I replaced with AC Delco Platinums...

could this be as simple as an inoperative O2 sensor on passenger side? The right exhaust is the one spewing out all the black smoke..

I replaced both my oxegon sensors and still have a lot of black exhaust smoke.
