It's not about diversity in this case, it's about John Stewart with you. If it was about diversity, you'd support more than just John Stewart. You'd post with the same conviction about characters of other races and background.
Have you supported Cyborg? A book that was written by a black man, and starring a popular black character?
Are you pushing for a book starring Black Lightning or Static? What about having Vixen in the Justice League? Or more character development for Val-Zod? Here's a thought, push for a book starring Kalel, the Black Superman from Multiversity. He was one of the main stars of Multiversity. Did you read that book? Did you support it? Operation Justice Incarnate looked like promising book coming out of Multiversity, but nothing ever came out of it.
What about a bringing back Batwoman? A book that starred a character from the LGBT community. Or Midnighter? One of the best written DCYou books.
If Green Lanterns featured Jessica Cruz, Kyle Rayner, and Simon Baz, it would be one of the most diverse books DC has published. But you've gone on record saying you would not support it because it wouldn't feature John Stewart.
If you're going to talk about diversity, it has to be consistent, line wide. And not just about one specific character.
