That's because you cant SAY "black" in its "pure form". Japanese (katakana and hiragana) is actually 100% synchronized with its alphabet. Spellings instantly creates pronunciation (aside from some particles), reason in part as to why their literacy is higher than most. Are you seriously suggesting the English system of pronunciation is somehow more efficient or does a better job of amalgamating words with their pronunciations?
