Although Second Best does have threads following black protagonists its focus is more on the white ones. However, it's a nearly required setup for the sequel Strange Relationships in which Nate is arguably the MC, and the other black/coloured characters also play a major role.

I'd argue that Nora is the MC, but Nate is certainly the male lead.
Fair enough. I recall it followed a group, not all black, which is why I added the question mark. Wasn't sure if it was a perfect fit. Thank you for the additional details to help the OP determine if it's worth pursuing.

Actually, for the main group that is followed in Second Best, they are all white except for one of the girls who is Black/Indian(dot, not feather).
Dammit. So many of his stories have African American main characters. Must have gotten mixed up in my brain. My bad.
My story the Adventures of Calvin Michael Johnson has a young black man as its protagonist. I think you'll like it. It is more of a Do Over but it has a few twists that are uniique.
JimBob44 over at Lit has a black MC just finishing school in "Tuff as Nails".
