MY COMMENT
nice video:) One thing is that the black populace in the usa has survived mostly nonviolently/law abidingly/self incriminatingly through a lot of white violence/oppresion/terrorism to be more financially profitable today and that helps black creators. At the end of the day, the artist of any populace are mostly funded by the populace themselves.
IN AMENDMENT
Well, here is my problem with your argument. Did black people start with eisner's interpretation and other white artist interpretation? For me, the black superhero is only defined by black creators and I have a problem with black people who seem very willing to treat white interpretations of black people as valid. I don't care that white people viewing depictions of black people by white artist see a negative interpretation of black people. The question in my mind is, why do black people care when white people see negative depictions of black people by white artist? 
...
you talk about not isolating other communities while focusing on uplifting the black community but what you really mean is not isolating white readers. And I argue, if a white writer is making a black character, that black character isn't designed for black readers and if a black writer is making a white character, that white character isn't designed for white readers. Again the problem here is the idea of universalism. We humans are all one and the same, we do not exist, humans are not the same, communities are not the same and what is better for one community is not mandatorily better for another.
...
12:56 Dubois is correct but here is the problem. The maker of the youtube video, most black or white artist publicly state they are not propogandist and if anything publicly despise the notion of being a propogandist. The positive phenotypical integrationist zeal among those in the black or non black populaces in the usa is based on the idea that some non propaganda ideal is possible.

14:22 exactly
...
14:53 love Milestone
17:08 exactly, the reality is, black created comics must be financed by black people but black people just didn't have the money but do now but just rely on your own
...
22:18 ok, if go woke go broke isn't true, what is it that the woke artist who made money did correct financially that the woke artist who didn't make money did incorrectly financially
Was Bitter Root being image not DC or Marvel matter?
Was Bitter Root simply better written or drawn than other comics? 
Was Bitter Root wiser in genre choices?
