It sounds like you have a trailer taillight that grounds through the mounting hardware. Typically the red wire would run to the turn signal/stop light circuit and the black would run to the taillight circuit, and then the ground circuit would be complete through the mounting hardware.

I have this same question on a semi trailer. Using your logic how would the turn signal work if it was wired with the stop? Won't the stop connection end up lighting both sides on a signal, whether it left or right?
