I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking it, but I worry if this sort of comparison to historical figures might put expectations on Black people to live up to the greatness of their similes instead of just being themselves. I guess it depends on the specifics of how the similes are used, since it's pretty different to similize a fictional hero from a fantasy roleplay than a real person.
