The home plate is defined in your rules as being 17 inches wide across the edge facing the pitcher's plate with sides parallel to the inside lines of the batter's box 8 1/2 inches long and sides of the point facing the catcher which are 12 inches long. When you measure your plate, is the black portion within any of these dimensions? I suspect not, and therefore the black is not part of the home plate for purposes of any rule.
