Fair enough - I think you could lead with that. The claims that shows don't have black characters - not sure that is true in current release wave.
WorldStar / BET etc - have been some channels / platforms focused more heavily on the black experience?
Netflix and Apple gets to turn on, off, buy, sell, and change this content on a whim. They get to select what is important about black culture. Today the black experience might matter to the audience, tomorrow who knows?
Ownership is the only thing that matters in America and for black creators to get there content out there they will need to own the means of production.
