If representation is so important then blacks should be given or create their own black characters, rather than taking established white characters and race-swapping them, because either all you've done is take a white character, who still behaves white, and put them in a twisted version of black face, or you change a character so much that them sharing the name of the white character you changed is pointless.
Yla Eason had a problem with the lack of representation of black people in hero media when her son said he couldn't be a hero like He-Man because he wasn't white, but she didn't piss and moan about it and demand He-Man be changed to a black man, she founded a toy company that created original characters like Sun-Man designed to blend in seamlessly with existing toylines like Masters of the Universe and G.I. Joe that weren't just regular white toys made with darker plastic, they were specifically sculpted to have faces that looked like the race they were. THAT is representation, anything else is laziness at best, and the willful incitement of racial aggression at worst.
