Token Black 

The famous and lovable token black character from the hit satire tv show South Park

Clyde: "What vice did you see on the videotape, Talangar? Is it the work of Sauron's magic?" Token returns to the table and places the tape there
Token Black: "I'm not playing anymore." walks off
Stan: steps forward "Uh well wait, what'd you see?"
Token: stops and turns "I don't know, I don't wanna know. I'm out." claps his hands, then walks back into the house, sliding the door open and closed. The boys look on
Randy: "Yes... uh... you see Token, that was called a pornographic film. Uh, it shows adult men and adult women having sexual intercourse." Token does not respond, but instead continues to stare blankly] "You see when a- when a man and woman are in love, the man puts his penis into a woman's vagina. It's called love making, and its part of being in love." There is a long pause before Token at last speaks
Token: And when a woman has four penises in her at the same time. Then stands over the men and pees on them, is that part of being in love too? Five midgets. Spanking a man. Covered in thousand island dressing. Is that making love?"
Mr. Black: "Jesus! What kind of porno was that?!"
Gerald: "Back-Door Sluts 9"
Mr. Black: "Oh Jesus! Not that one!"

token black guy 

Any fictional character of African-American descent that has been inconsequently inserted into the plot a movie or TV show for the express purposes of creating an image of commercially safe, politically correct, and insipid racial harmony. In eras gone by the token black guys would be the first characters to be killed off. This phenomena of commercial cinema and television that would sacrifice the quality of their storytelling for the sake of attempting the impossible act of offending absolutely nobody, is succinctly satirized by the aptly named south park character, Token.

Token from south park, Charley in the TV show Friends.

Any black character in any movie that is neither the protagonist nor antagonist, is unimportant to the plot and does not significantly contribute to it, preferably dies before the end, usually does not end up with the girl. sometimes is the sidekick if the role is unimportant enough, and is very often comic relief (often in stereotype-enforcing manner).
