Have we ever actually, truly tried Black capitalism? 
Have we ever actually, truly tried Black capitalism?
I realized that I need to read Das Kapital to actually answer this question.
But Black folks owning the machines that needs a lot of labor to make a product - Like that Breh in Philly that owns a Coca Cola Bottling Plant - is most definitely a capitalist. He's making bank off of all the workers that get the work done, while he's probably not taking a dolly of Sprite into the local super market and stocking the shelves.
A lot of the other big black AMERICAN business owners I can think of - are selling services/reselling stuff other people make and not making stuff ourselves.
That said my communist bona fides need some buffing to properly assess if services is really comparable to production.
That said I'd like to see 1M more Black people owning factories and then revisit the question for a proper answer.
Black communism won't either

As time goes on I figure the true tragedy of the failures of 20th century black movements is that they condemned the masses to amnesia. There is no large transmission of what has been thought, said and done before, besides a veneer of aesthetics, empty pro-black rhetoric and an over-emphasis on individual figures. So the masses go around in circles, going through the same debates, repeating the same mistakes.
Like the myth of black capitalism. This shyt been settled
