My apple News+ has had a black experience and racial justice spotlight - you can't turn some of these off actually.
'White culture' creates all of the countries that people from every other country are fleeing to, or trying to immigrate to.
White people created Democracy, Checks and Balances, overwhelming amount of the technology that makes our lives great, much of the major medical breakthroughs...and so much more.
White culture, of science and planning and Democracy, is GREAT.
Let's remember to celebrate it as well.
Out of curiosity - you mention that in the 90's there were a number of TV shows featuring prominent black characters but there isn't anymore. Why did you decide the solution to that problem was to create a black-focused distribution platform, instead of production company focused on creating new shows of similar quality to those in the 90's - has something changed about the market that would prevent shows like those…
I my opinion the problem isn't that there is no demand for black-focused media, its that its just become another subcategory of Netflix. And because it may not be as popular on Netflix it doesn't get as much production. Look at what Netflix is producing these days - its mostly lowest common denominator algorithm driven garbage.

Yes the country has lost its mind. They’re reconstituting segregation in the U.S. at the moment
Why does "Netflix for Black People" scarily remind me of "Water fountains for Black People". This is horrifying, OP please consider this in your approach.
Could you tell more about it? Not American here.

BET wasn’t offensive me. Telemundo wasn’t offensive to me. Nickelodeon wasn’t offensive to me. Food Network wasn’t offensive to me. Serving targeted programming to an identifiable minority audience seems like a perfectly reasonable business (and social) proposition. I don’t know that “Netflix for Black People” will test well, but it seems perfectly fine to me. [white middle-aged male if context matters]. Edit to add:…
My only problem with marketing "X for black people" is that marketing "X for white people" isn't socially acceptable.
