I think he’s right, Blacks need to get away from constantly harping on the race angle (or just remaking White movies with Black casts) and make movies and tv shows about other subjects.
No reason why Blacks can’t do sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, etc. written by Black authors, with Black directors and Black casts that still appeals to other ethnicities.
Good art is good art, regardless of who made it.
The Black elites (and there are plenty of them with shit loads of money) need to get together to fund it and make it happen.
