There's no ban (either legal, cultural, or practical) against films where all enslaved characters are played by Black actors.
Or do you mean that they couldn't find investors? And that this difficulty may have been (in part) because of how the book portrays slavery? That's a lot easier to believe.

As far as I remember from the item, the major issue was the investors having qualms over the portrayal of slavery in the book preventing the movie from being able to reach profitability. The colour green rules!
