> I don’t think making a black tv channel and black churches and black university help it actually make the problem worse because it increases divide.
You seem to not be informed that black people were expressly banned from many American universities as recently as the 1960s. Even after racial bans were made illegal racial discrimination was heavy, things don't change instantly just because a law is passed.
The only reason black universities exist is because black people didn't have other options. Creating black univerisites couldn't possibly make the problem worse.
The media is dominated by white writers and actors and as a result the large majority of content is based on white culture with storylines that appeal to white people. Black actors audition and black stories are pitched, but most don't get hired or funded. BlackOakTV is making a space for those who are rejected and can't get funding for stories appealing more to a black audience.
