What is missing here is creative ownership. That content needs to be vetted by tastemakers and producers who are mostly white. What gets funded and not funded is sometimes determined by the target demographic and in America that is usually the white majority.
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.
I don't understand why you got downvoted. This seems like a highly relevant issue (and one which, as a white guy, I typically forget about; thanks for reminding me).
