I think the re-makes you mention reflect the fact that blacks are gullible in terms of marketing such movies; whites make up a rapidly-decreasing portion of young people, and many of those are more likely to turn on a computer at night instead of planting themselves in front of a TV for hours on end. Thirty years ago a friend teaching in a nearly 100% black school district wore a pin (shaped like a TV) saying “Turn it off!”; the impact on the literacy problem was identified back then. I see it in the noticeable increase in the number of blacks in commercials for various products that never had targeted them in the past; think tanks must have realized that this is the last, most reliable TV audience (and it translates to theater as well).

While blacks don’t suffer from a true “digital divide” (see flash robs and YouTube postings by blacks), many of them certainly use the technology in very different ways than other groups. A black co-worker with a tablet basically watches TV at her desk; she can’t type a coherent email or text, but she has gadgets far more expensive than anything I own.

That was a funny show. Kingfish would be working some scam around BLM. He'd have Andy selling signs.

Or a black Dolly Gallagher Levi. (That actually did happen at one point. Pearl Bailey was among the many to play Dolly.)
