Kareem connects with others who share similar powers as widespread oppressive global conspiracy to keep the knowledge of their powers from the world and especially the black community before it's finally unveiled...
People still care about skin colour, lulz.

Why would I be? I've watched many things with mostly black folk in it. One of my favourite TV series is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for example.
The big distinction is that the fresh prince is about a family that happens to be black while this is people BLESSED with THE POWER OF BLACK, fighting those evil whities oppressing them.

The power of black?
ONLY African Americans have SUPERPOWERS!!!
I can only assume that being black is what made them super.
a nation where ONLY African-Americans have SUPERPOWERS
If it's set in the USA, it sort of makes sense because of how long slavery dragged on for... The strongest and the fittest survived the trip from Africa and then had to again withstand the deplorable treatment they endured upon arriving in the new world.

They'd be pretty incompetent slave owners if they couldn't keep slaves alive.
Honestly, are there any black content creators out there who write about things other than being black? Its boring
So is this like X Men with the metaphor removed?

Not really... They soon started outnumbering white people with high birth rates.
That's insanely stupid unlike Confederate and Black America.
That's not even remotely close to being true. First, you've wrongly presupposed that the birth rates today are the same as they were over 200 years ago -- which, if you stayed awake in history, you'd know isn't the case. Second, you've forgotten that more whites immigrated than blacks; which is also something anybody with even the barest knowledge of US history should know. Third, you've made some misguided assumptions about the prevalence of slave ownership in the US. At any rate, at its absolute peak -- the highest point which was in 1790 -- the number of blacks in the US was only 20% of the total population. In short, it never even came close to outnumbering whites.

Didn't this alert you to the sarcasm?
I started to wonder how this would even work, especially in a modern setting, so I assumed that it was set during the civil right movements where a white government tried to hide that all African Americans got some kind of superpower.
After checking around, it seems like it is in a modern setting and only 0.5% of African Americans got some kind of superpower.

Outrage culture at it again.

Is it boring that 99% of white content creators write about white people being white?

You mean black people write about the things they know and/or escapist fiction? And, despite that being the entire goddamn history of western literature when white people have kept doing it, it's boring when black people keep doing it?

0.5% is still a massive amount, tbh. That's 650k people in the US alone.
