Decolonize, question language. Perhaps refrain from using the word dark in the context of evil.
Blackmail, blacklist, dark (blah, blah, blah), to name a few. Why do all these words have negative connotations and relate to darker colors?
Muhammad Ali inspired this personal change, mentioning some contrasting language like devils cake and angels cake, in the linked RTE interview, 1972.

Kemet is one of several African civilizations that used to be based along hapi (the Nile) in Egypt and Sudan. Kemet means Black land, possibly named after the terrain’s fertile, black soil. The people believed in one source of life. What is misrepresented today as their gods and goddesses are NTR. Neteru are forces of nature, and aspects of oneself. One NTR is called Het-Heru. Het-Heru represents imagination and was drawn as a white cow or an African woman with horns.
The people’s respect for one another can be felt by looking at their art, from thousands of years ago. Names for things changed after invaders came, obelisk changed from tecchnu, pharaoh switched from Nesut Bity. Pyramids were named after miru, horus named after Heru, isis named after Auset, osiris after Auser, hathor after Het-Heru.
