You really need a sealer. White is chosen to reflect the heat AND this will last longer than black. When we used hot tar on roofs we then painted them silver or white. If we did not do this the tar would end up in puddles.
Primers are made to seal wood and wall coverings, not a concrete roof. You need a coating with some “body” that maintains flexibility ...
