African American organized crime groups are not an example of ethnic succession in that they have existed for some time, but much of their control has been primarily within black populations. Black Entertainment Television (BET) (2006) channel's production of the documentary American Gangster as well as the History Channel's production of Gangland give accounts of such organizations.
