In the satirical "The American Society Of Magical Negroes" David Alan Grier inducts Justice Smith (bright rising star) into a secret society of black folk using wizardly powers to selflessly diffuse white discomfort. Smith's first mission is to help flawed Drew Tarver both in his trendy job (under Michaela Watkins & Rupert Friend) and to bag colleague An-Li Bogan (who btw epitomises the film's fresh modern style)... but Smith's fallen for Bogan too... uh oh. Whether debut writer / director Kobi Libii nails it in applying a fun light facade to a strong statement on the US' deep racial problems will largely depend on each viewers' perspective... but it sure is a bold brave attempt.
