I think you are all overthinking it... Has anyone ever thought that the writers maybe happen to create a black character that is a bad guy by coincidence/randomly? Or that they did not find a good white actor to portray certain role? Yes, some of the black characters in some movies are there to stereotype the black community (that happens to other races/cultures too), but there was no correlation with present-day situation whatsoever. I see no connection at all.

Also, I do not think they are really bad guys. Pike is a good leader, and educated (why would he teach Earth skills then?), on Ark, Jaha was very important (and positive) character, now he is a bit weird, but he is not a villian of the show, I guess. Lincoln is good, Wells was too, I do not see any problem with Miller and his father, and I do not think Miller's orientation has anything to do with it. Probably violent and bloodthirsty Indra is the worst of all black characters.

Plus none of the characters mentioned anything about race, I guess in The 100 world, the concept of race is very different, you can see black, white, even asian people work together in Arkadia, also black and white in various clans collaborate together.
