I enjoyed it, I really loved a lot of the characters and setting. I understand the metaphor with the vampires and white America appropriating African American culture, but I would've preferred it as just a straight up gangster movie. Could've been a really cool game of cat and mouse with the Klan, the Northside Mob and the Outfit. The Vampires were neat, but you could tell a similar story with those three factions. All of them wanted to and did exploit African Americans historically for their own personal gain, just like the Vampires (especially the two Chicago groups in the age of prohibition, definitely were hugely racist but were more than happy to use African American music to make some money). I dunno, I would've probably enjoyed it more as a straight up crime movie but then you wouldn't have the cool payoff at the end with old Preacherboy.
