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..
