Dependable Black Friend

A 1990s and 2000s movie trope. A diversity token to attract black audiences. Usually the black BFF is unknown to the general audience, but is an A-Lister in the black film scene. They, be it he or a she, offer gems of wisdom with a little urban or southern flair, and sometimes they can even save the day.

I wonder what that black actress from The Unborn is doing right now, she was so hot! But also, a great example of a dependable black friend.

Oh, you mean Meagan Good? I think she's married now..

Yeah, well you see how your thing kind of intersects with my thing, huh? Except in reverse. I think I did a casual heresy at some point. But yeah, you were being unfairly maligned. You're right but you're wrong.

Hym "Don't publicly execute me for being a Tate defender or anything but that isn't REALLY sex trafficking. It's not even close to the real thing. The real thing is horrific. Think about it for a second. You're getting your groceries one day and a guy sneaks into the back seat of your car as you get in the driver's seat, he grabs you, pulls you into the back seat and his friend hops in the driver seat and just drives away. This is a real thing that I saw on Facebook. You are somewhere. Indefinitely. Maybe even permanently. Some guy is just the boss of you. You're locked in a cage. Forever. It's not great. Always keep your doors locked."
