No. It would not be better if you said that he is African American.
The point is, what does it matter what colour he is? Why does it have to be mentioned that he's a black dude? Why can't he just be a dude? The point of the picture is that he is living in someone's head. What colour he is has nothing to do with the message. Black, white, yellow or whatever, the message is the same. Does that even register with you?
To someone who is not biased, he just sees a person, a human being. To someone who is prejudiced it has to be pointed out that that person is a black person as if it makes a difference. Guaranteed that if he were white, you would not mention his colour. Maybe the fact that he is black somehow makes you think that the pic is silly.
And I repeat, nobody else, intelligent or not has made any comment regarding those pics, either positive or negative. Only you.
Do you have anything to contribute to the topic of this thread, i.e., what the amount of how much a guy pays means to a woman's opinion of him? Here's some good advice, you'll be doing yourself a big favour to stop talking about colour....in any thread.
