Rocket Racer paved the way for BET, all those ridiculous Tyler Perry films and the Obama administration. Because of his murderous pursuits of Spider-Man, the America majority grew fond of the idea that African-Americans don't always fit into cute, little, stereotypical boxes (i.e., sometimes they don powered suits of armor and ride across the sides of metropolitan buildings on rocket skateboards, firing "energy blasts"* from their wrists).
Yeah, and I guess Rerun helped, too.
*Whatever the hell those are.
