For the first, check if anything at Scary Black Man facies you. For the first. see Magical Negro and Token Black Friend. Also see the Video Examples tab at each of those.
Personally can't give specific interesting examples at the moment.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Hello, I need suggestions on two movie scenes: one in which a Black person is represented negatively but non-stereotypically (being sarcastic or cold but collected, an upper-class villain), and one in which a Black person is represented positively and stereotypically ("magical negro" or "black best friend" tropes, but with no references to a fantasy world, Lucius Fox for example). I need these clips for my master's thesis. Thank you very much.
