You mentioning the few exceptions doesn't change the point the OP was trying to make.

I just disagree with the notion that there's a significant lack of African-American people in the media. If it were 20 years ago, I'd agree, but it's a brave new world out there, and we have a lot of African American people who are significant in the media (music, movies, tv, modeling, etc).
Yes, the media is white-dominated. However, I refuse to be persecuted for bringing up the fact that black people aren't rare in the media. If anything, hispanic people, asian people, and brown people are very rare in films.
