I was only being sarcastic, I meant that where as Black Panther makes sense, the Black in "Black Goliath" is an unneccessary/inappropriate reference to skin color. I don't call my buddy Sean "Black Sean".

Oh, and for fun, Black Panther writer Reginald Hudlin's take on the topic

HUDLIN: For me, I was a huge Black Panther fan; there was nothing “token” about him. I just thought he was a character with a tremendous amount of integrity and stood on his own. I was not so much into Black Lightning, although certainly, perfectly fine idea. Black Vulcan the cartoon character was always sad to me, because he didn’t have any pants on. And also, the name — I mean, at least Black Lightning, that is sort of a phrase. Black Panther, there is an animal called the black panther. Black Lightning is a phrase. Black Vulcan is idiotic. It’s like Black Goliath: inappropriate. I mean, “Really, dude, Black Goliath? He can’t just be Goliath?” That’s when it all goes wrong.

That's all I was sayin'.
