To each their own I guess, I love it. At the end of the day they are black and the fact that they wear it on their sleeve almost as a point if pride is very affirming for me. I see it as the most pro-black thing DC has done, especially since outside of a couple names, DC often takes a "I don't see color" approach to their characters of color; which lately has become more of a hindrance than an advantage. A hindrance in the sense that they are tone deaf in how they use them. Mostly middle of the road, safe, unambitious storytelling and often forgotten or pushed to the side as of late particularly. Also, I like that they'll often play on his name with his powerset by making his lightning actually black (or purple) because it sets him apart from all the other characters under the "electric negro" trope banner (most of whom he spawned).
