Ya know, there was a time when I watched many movies, and you know what I often noticed back then? Black guys always died first! What the...? Is it some kind of rule to let them die first???

Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
Emotion: you have it or it has you.

Gives that little bit of extra to the victim part, hey it's hollywood. Night of the Living Dead was legendary because the hero was black, in the end he still gets shot. It's symbolism, I can think of a few bit more chiche's.
Re: Black Guys in Movies
To weird you out even more; Which of the (good) transformers was first to be destroyed in the Transformers movie?

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

It's one of many Hollywood cliches. My personal favorite is the smokin' hot scientist, who is invariably in her early twenties, who just happens to have the vaccine/know the code/defuse the nuclear device/have expertise in the monster/etc.
She usually winds up macking on the hero.

'Hey now, i seen this film before, the black guy always dies first!'
Great film. It has all the hollywood cliches you could want, including the 'black guy dies first' cliche.

Funny how smart they are, with being a year out of grad school. And looking like models.

Re: Black Guys in Movies
Now now, that isn't always true. Think of Snakes on a Plane. There were many black guys in that movie and not a single one of them died.
Re: Black Guys in Movies
Bad example. Jazz was the only Autobot who died. Bumblebee only got his legs blown off, totally fixable. Plus Jazz wasn't the first Transformer to die overall. That honour goes to Bonecrusher.

Re: Black Guys in Movies
And why does everyone assume he is black despite him not being a black Transformer? Think about the stereotyping issues there!
Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy
