I was watching a movie on the tube (Skinwalkers) while washing dishes and saw a black guy. I thought to myself, he'll prolly die in the next 5-10 min. Weknow that's an open secret in movies; the black guy won't make it to the end (unless he's Denzel or Will).
I googled to find out if anyone had put together a nice list of movies where the black guy bit the dust early and found this:
