I'm Russian and, probably, I don't really understand the situation with race in US.
But I think that MLK was fighting against this "X for black people" thing. (X == buses, schools, shops, etc). Isn't it racism and segregation?

Racism is the belief that different races are distinctly inferior or superior to one another. [1] I don't see anything in the author's post or the product that indicates they believe Black people are racially superior.
Segregation, specifically in context of what King was fighting for, means spatial or institutional separation of the races. [2] Clearly not the case here, they are pushing for more representation of Black people in media, not less.
(There are other civil rights leaders you can invoke besides MLK when you're feigning outrage btw)
Correct.

No, Dr. King was not fighting against Black-founded commercial services attempting to serve the particular interests of Black consumer. But, that's a pretty good illustration that your first sentence is correct (though its also a pretty good mimicry of American White conservatives coopting Dr. King, so, maybe you do understand a bit about race-based political propaganda in America.)
