Otherwise it's like calling him Blackie Black the black character. They named him Flynt Coal because of the Achievement Hunter in-joke Flynt Coal. It started with them playing Minecraft and repeatedly confusing flint for coal, so they started calling it "Flint-Coal" then decided there's a guy named Flynt Coal and he's a really cool dude.

Flynt Coal is probably black to go with the jazz theme or the fact that he's voiced by Flynt Flossy.

And I don't see anyone complaining about Weiss' name basically being "Whitey White the white girl" or Blake's being "Blackie Black the character who faces racism".
