As generative AI (genAI) systems become embedded in education, employment, healthcare, and creative industries, the impact and engagement among marginalized groups have become both a widespread discourse and a focus in scholarly research. As a starting point, we examine public discourse and empirical research to explore the impact of genAI systems on Black communities. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of 91 empirical papers alongside a media discourse frame analysis of 28 public resources, applying Entman's framing theory to map how each corpus defines problems, attributes causes, and proposes treatments. Our SLR reveals that scholarly research concentrates heavily on technical bias detection, reducing Blackness to measurable variables rather than engaging with cultural practices, structural conditions, or Black knowledge systems. Our frame analysis reveals that public discourse attributes genAI-related harm to historical and systemic forces, while scholarly research stops its causal accounts at the dataset and its treatment recommendations at technical reform. We demonstrate that this misalignment is structurally produced: anti-Blackness operates simultaneously across both registers, generating a shared evacuation of Black epistemic agency. We argue for frame analysis as an AI ethics methodology capable of surfacing what technical evaluation forecloses.
