So the recent episode of Black Lightning had a scene of Grace and Anissa watching an episode of Girlfriends. I don't know if that's funny or insulting because of how the CW treated that show.

DC pretty much put the franchise on this path when they decided that the Justice League was going to be the top team franchise (the Titans were the top franchise in 80's to the very early 90's). They then decided that Barry Allens and Hal Jordans
who make up the League were more important than the Wally Wests and Kyle Rayners that make up the Titans.
DC can't even make the Titans the cool kids or the rebels because THAT would mean the Leagueis either Team Establishment or Team Dads and Establishment Dads aren't cool.
So Titans are kept just important enough to have a book so they can get money from the fans but not important enough to do anything other than job out to make the League look good.
If the Titans Franchise were an attitude era Wrestler they'd be Dee-Lo Brown.
A combination of class society, dominant narratives promoting the ideal of whiteness, and the legacy of colonialism might be some of the reasons why.
I know that in some countries, having darker skin was associated with doing manual labor whereas the aristocrats could sit inside and rarely risk getting a tan. So combine that with modern racial narratives and you get some of the antiBlack racism you see today.
