It appears that you already know the position of Sikhi regarding this black or any other colored thread or a TAWEET around one’s wrist. It has no values.
Next part of your question requires some deep thoughts.
Simple answer is to request them to read the Gurbani themselves and follow it.
I wish someone had a better answer on how to motivate these people to read Gurbani for themselves and have faith in Guru Sahib’s guidance.
To the second part of your question – HOW CAN WE EDUCATE THESE PEOPLE MORE. – What Gurbani tells us is to educate ourselves and be aware of our own ਹਉਮੈ rather than be of preaching nature to others.
Gurbani teaches us to become freelance preachers and to help and guide other seekers.

Cricketer Harbhajan is a glaring example.
This thread cannot just be worn by purchasing it, but has to be given to tie after recitation of some Mantras by Pandit or Spells by a Mulla or a witch craft practitioner.
Sikhs are instructed to never ever beg for anything, but to work hard to attain it.
।।ਮੰਨੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਵਹਿ ਨ ਭਿਖ।।
When the thread (or a black dot marked on face) is used to ward off evil, it is a sign of fear, which a true Sikh should not harbor.
