Become a legend in Competitive Programming, contribute to the community as much as you can & then when one day if Mike retires, he might consider you giving that prestigious black name.

You need to find slave master, and work on his plantation every day 24/7

You can get tanned by sunbathing but I doubt you'll actually become black

Use a marker or something and draw all over yourself. You will become (at least partially) black. Remember to take a shower and DO NOT use a permanent marker.

While you can't become black like Mike without working at CF... You can become semi-black like the people in top rated list. Try that instead.

it's very eazy, use HTML inspect to modify the color in which your username is rendered.

Either get hired by Mike, or get a one-letter handle and become LGM

    Nobody knows this but every 3k rating, you get a new letter blacked in your handle. So basically you can get whole full black name by getting hooge rating (tho that might take several centuries)
