Don't make them being black the main theme of your costume.

I've seen cosplays where people put a lot of effort into darkening their skin (yes, blackface) and it looks convincing and really good. I don't understand why people would complain about those instances.

I find it looks very amateurish when cosplayers dont go 100% with the likeness of a character.

Its like if someone cosplayed as Mystique from the X-Men or a Smurf without having a blue face. In my opinion, cosplayers should commit completely to a characters appearance or choose another character that they do naturally resemble.
