Depends.
Tributing African Culture would be a bad idea, because of the very recent and very strained relations between white and African cultures. It would have to be creative directed and helmed by Africans to come off as respectful and tasteful.
Art I don't have a problem with. People paint their bodies different colors for art all the time. People are painted black with absolutely no intention of referencing that skin tone. Like when people tried to call the Dunkin Donuts ad from Korea racist, a mess. People forget that US African American history is not world history.
