I have always thought the black/white arguments were useless. The plate is defined by its dimensions (17", 8 1/2", 12", 12", 8 1/2") and not by color. Whatever piece of material you see on the ground at the base of the foul lines is the plate. As long as it meets the dimensions, it is all home plate. If it doesn't meet the dimensions, get it fixed/replaced or make a ground rule that it will serve as home plate for that game.
