In africa obviously not, but in the west they are really powerful through political correctnes, hollywood, media, and such. On German TV I saw a advertisement for the movie Black Panther, and the voice was highly enthusiastic who introduced the movie, sounded highly enthusiastic about it and praised it very much. It is actually a Black Nationalist movie, Im not against it and will watch it but I noticed blacks are really powerful. Recently we had a Black President and now we have a self identified black Vice President.
This movie is actually Black Nationalist, it portrays Blacks in a futuristic setting which is very highly advanced and powerful etc.

Yes, the ethnicity under discussion is very powerful in this country.
1. There is something in this country called "affirmative action." This means that they are given special consideration when applying for a job. They can also often enter the university without taking an entrance examination.
2. They are very influential in sports and music. For example, at the beginning of some sports events, everyone must stand and show respect to a song called the "Black National Anthem."
3. They are treated very carefully by police officers, for those police officers could lose their jobs if the media report that the police officers acted improperly toward people of that ethnicity. Here in Los Angeles, for example, the police have been told to be very careful before stopping a motorist of that ethnicity.
4. If they tell your employer that you are a "racist," you could lose your job. So at work, people are very respectful of people of that ethnicity.
In a few weeks, we will have our first Vice President of that ethnicity.
They (along with Americans of Hispanic ancestry) will be the majority of Americans by the end of this century.
African Americans are now a very powerful part of the United States of America. If you visit this country someday, you will see how influential they are in many aspects of American life.
