      Are there any cases studies in which a black society is doing well with minimal white influence?

      Yes. If you go back to the middle ages there was the Mali Empire, famous for Mansa Musa I which has been described as the wealthiest individual in the middle ages. Primarily due to the huge amounts of gold in West Africa. The only other example I can think of is Ethiopia/Abyssinia.

      Being smack in the middle of one of the world's major trade routes at the time made it impossible for the Mali Empire to fail. They also had a lot of talent coming in from all over, this isn't an example of African genius at work or anything. If Africans were truly capable of empire building from scratch, with no outside assistance, they wouldn't still be living in mud huts in the 21st century.

      They did build it from scratch. Their foundation was the Ghana Empire, long before North Africans crossed the Sahara and began trading in large numbers.

      didn't he ruin multiple economies and his own from causing inflation by spending too much gold

      Yeah, he took a trip to Mecca and on the way ruined the North African states economy. He actually just gave gold freely. I didn't hear about him ruining his own nation with inflation but wouldn't doubt it since it happened to nations even such as Spain.

      Botswana benefits a lot from DeBeers, so probably doesn't count as "minimal white influence", but is run pretty well as a result. It has a human development index comparable with backwater former Soviet countries.

      At the city level level Mound Bayou, Mississippi has been essentially all-black for over a century and appears to do fairly well. Not knowing details, I'm unsure how much one could say it was/is affected by whites. I only found out about this place about a month ago and haven't researched it much yet.

      To be honest, I don't care about that, I want to know how Whites do without Blacks. I already know, I grew up with zero Blacks and it was extremely cool. Sure, you'd get a zit or scrape your knee, but otherwise smooth sailing.
