Why are black people sympathetic to communism


I just watched judas and the black messiah and I saw this comment and I’ve realised a lot of black people in general are sympathetic to communism / socialism . But why would block people advocate for a system like communism when living in the west , white people are going to be the leaders of the system and it will lead to black people not being able to ever collectively achieve social mobility . Cuba is a good example, obviously the Cuban communists were able to improve the life’s of the poor and black/mixed people but white people collectively are still higher up in the social hierarchy, that’s because white people were able to escape to America and send money back to their families . Also the government is mostly white and it’s their families benefitting. Most of the good jobs are exclusively held by whites . communists view black people as worse traitors than the whites when they try to escape and are given harsher punishments . Speaking out against racism is considered anti revolutionary, black people who wanted to create their own spaces are considered racists , it wasn’t until the 90s that the communists allowed Afro Cubans to celebrate their identity fully ( it was mostly allowed bc of tourism )

realistically communism doesn’t work in diverse countries .And I’ve realised immigrants do better in capitalist countries then socialist ones
 
I'm not very educated in this, but in my humble opinion, I think I can see some of the reasons just from the matter of basic perspective regardless of consequential analysis of said phenomenons. Many revolutionary socialist/communist leaders were principally anti-racist. Fidel Castro and Che Guevera even went down to Africa to fight. Not only that, the ideology they carried with them, in theory, was attractive to the folks on the bottom of the economic hierarchy because it promised more equality, very it was anti-Capitalist, i.e. anti-America, which had been the symbol of racial oppression of which capitalism was the chief instrument, it's strength and pride.
