I'll allow it. If it was some random black guy, I might be a bit annoyed, but Denzel is a good actor who's done Shakespeare before. He's actually pretty good in that adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing.

I don't think you understand how much people who act in and run Shakespeare plays love Shakespeare. They're constantly looking for new ways to interpret it or to cast things in a different light. If a Black Macbeth adds some additional value to a production, so be it. No harm in trying it out.

Sure! Why not? Playing with these characters and adding the element of race could make for something interesting. Imagine a production of Othello with a White Othello with everyone else being Black. It would be interesting, if only for the novelty. And maybe it'll reveal some deeper facet of the play. The same principle applies here.

That's cool! I've watched Stewart in Macbeth, I'm sure this was a good production as well. My point was that the choice of actor, including conscious choices of race, can add additional depth to a production. Rather than being upset at a Black Macbeth, we should see how it changes the story's impact.
