Does black is beautiful mean only appearance?

No not really. It is more of a pride thing. Often when people refer to something black it has a negative tilt like, for instance, bad guys wear black hats. But, for a business being "in the black" is a really good thing. Same thing with being a black person. The press tends to cover the bad things some black people do but a whole lot more good has been done by black people than bad.
