I get your point. We're here for black creators too, but our customers are black viewers, so we'll always put them first. But of course, there is no demand without supply, and black creators are at the heart of what we do, too. Fortunately, we can serve both entities!

Remember the first law of the 48 laws of power - you are still a minnow playing in the huge pool, and you have to appeal to ALL (if not MOST) of the current gatekeepers - who would not be as passionate about this as you are.
If you have any "fangs", this is not the time to "bare" them.
My advice is to be less explicit in the beginning, and use careful "dog whistles" in your messaging to target your audience - have you not learnt anything from history?
What's good for the goose, is surely good for the gander too.
BTW, I support what you're doing, and wish you all the success, you've just got to be more subtle with your messaging - as all the bleating in here suggests.
