There's a few groups for Black gamers on Facebook. I wouldn't recommend joining them if you're looking for serious conversation, but you'll probably avoid racism.
Neither link work on the Edge browser. They work in Chrome but I'll be honest I can't make heads or tails of what I'm looking, I could be tired as it's late here. Perhaps a more technically minded coli breh can give you the pointers you're after
edit: Video link appears to be ok on Edge now, I like the idea. Perhaps functionality to show whether a streamer is live or otherwise? Not that well versed with web design but there are some smart dudes on here who can hopefully help you out, good luck!
Last bit as I've have to hit the sack but I find the font hard to read, quite jarring tbh, both the red and the general font colour. It's fine against the white background on the video page but somewhat unreadable when you use that similarly coloured background on the gaming crossroads page for instance. That said, others may like the UX.
With the gamers section, as well as facebook a/cs, you could also have user psn ids/xbox gts which could allow them to link up with other people to play with, like an LFG-esque feature but catered to black gamers, not sure how feasible that is though.

Good looking out on the leads family
ActuallyI'm using these to create a list of African American game streamers, communities, news sites, etc. and Aggregate them all in one online repository. That should cut down a bit on exposure to the blatant racism found in questionable places.
Matter a fact throw me some feed back on my formating, I'd appreciate any thoughts
1. Website list to AA ran news/blog sites - http://www.videogamestashbox.com/House/groups
2. Website list to AA ran game streams - http://www.videogamestashbox.com/House/video
It's not ready for prime time yet
- I have to flesh out the mobile functionalities.
- The coloring conflicts with the background in some areas making it hard to read.
- The forms are also not colored right. But the basic elements are all there.
Just cleaning up a bit now and adding more content.
Thanks
