For one I'm not black, so no. But also you don't need to be. I provided him as proof against your idea that people will only change if they want to, and that if they want to, simply telling them to do more research is sufficient. There are options between "be a brave and charismatic black man venturing into the heart of a movement that exists to kill you," and "leave snide comments on Lemmy."

You could, for example, engage in dialogue with someone, politely rebutting the incorrect assumptions they make without demanding that they rebut their own arguments for you. You may not convince many people this way, but you will convince more people than the snide remarks guy.
