A very prevalent notion in modern society is the idea that black men are better endowed than other races. Even if penis size never explicitly comes up, one might still see references to the idea that black men are automatically good lovers. The stereotype is a very old one, likely dating back centuries. While it may initially seem like a flattering depiction, it has had some Unfortunate Implications and derives from quite a checkered past.
Since the American colonial era, there has been the idea of a well-endowed, sturdily built, and rather libidinous black man. Until the late 20th century, it was commonly accepted that black men made no effort to control their sex drives, and, in some time periods and regions, a lot of nasty stuff was done to black males on the paper-thin excuse that they had posed a sexual threat to someone, often white women. (Needless to say, very little was ever offered — or required — in proof of any of these allegations.) Even in geographical spheres where race was not necessarily more determinant than legal or socioeconomic status, such as the Portuguese Empire and the Spanish Caribbean, a more sympathetic but otherwise similar stereotype came to hold the black as a natural ladies man with matching dancing skills, which would influence colourful characters as the Brazilian malandro and the classical African-Cuban musician.
The stereotype of black men as inherently oversexed is, at its root, dehumanizing. These are not rational creatures like white men, it claims; these are mere animals whose sexual functions operate mechanically and instinctively like a bull in rut. Picking up on an idea found in classical Greek culture,note Unlike modern Western conceptions, the ideal Hellenic man had a modest-sized or even small penis, to show his focus on intellect rather than sexual drives. Also unlike the modern trope about black men, the Greeks thought this about everyone who wasn't Greek, not just Africans. The Romans, who were by their own admission a less intellectual culture than Greece, were particular targets of the "big-penis" form of Hellenic derision ("Look at Julius with his big cock! Sure, he runs the empire, but he can't think."). it saddled the stereotypical black man with a comically-oversized phallus, just to show everyone what's really running the show. White women were also warned that too much unsupervised contact with a black man (up to and especially including sexual intercourse) would leave them Defiled Forever; and heaven help the mother of a Chocolate Baby...
As for black women, they too were defined in terms of their sexual urges — early psychologists (who'd invented the term "drapetomania" in order to frame black slaves' desire to be free as a form of mental illness) would occasionally "justify" white overseers and plantation owners' rape of slave women with the claim that black women were "hot" and therefore needed their masters' sexual control. Also like black men, this perception extended to bodily stereotypes, with black women being depicted with oversized breasts and rears, something that particularly took off in the wake of Khoikhoi woman Sarah Baartman's popularity as a freak show attraction during the 19th century. Just as black men were perceived as hypersexual and always on the edge of rape (thus needing white supremacist violence to keep them in check), black women were, too, and in many places the law believed black women simply couldn't be raped because they always wanted it. If they tried to defend themselves to prevent it, why that was just the natural violence of black people on display.
Despite the throwback to Greek concepts, those specific ideas applied to black people are, as mentioned above, Newer Than They Think and tied to certain cultural latitudes. This means some works fall in anachronism either humorously or out of genuine confusion — for instance, depicting ancient Romans making this kind of appreciations about black slaves, in opposition to those of any other race. However, you can find them in writings from the early modern era, such as William Shakespeare's depiction of the eponymous Othello, who is described unambiguously as a black man by Iago and Roderigo and as having committed the nearly criminal act of eloping with Desdemona, which they tell her father about as a thoroughly sexual act ("an old black ram is topping your white ewe"). Your mileage may vary on how Shakespeare intended the audience to view Othello, but there's no denying that these tropes were in play, making them Older Than Steam.
To make a long story short, this trope has some extremely dubious origins, and continues to carry all manner of Unfortunate Implications with it. Human sexuality being what it is, the controversy surrounding this trope has only made it more forbidden, and thus fetishized. You Have Been Warned.
Obviously a subtrope of Bigger Is Better in Bed. Also compare Where da White Women At? and Race Fetish.

Sometimes this trope refers not so much to any specific part of the anatomy as to sexual prowess in general. In Enter the Dragon for instance, the black bruiser Williams is among the martial arts contestants offered some feminine "company" for the evening from Han's Paid Harem. He picks out four of them, and then apologizes to the rest of the girls that, um, he's "a little tired" this evening.

The Dating Guy sort of invokes this. One episode has the gang going into the rainforest and coming across a black tribe in South America. Samantha, the girl, is to be wed to the man who has the largest penis; it's so large, it unrolls like a fire hose and the end cannot be seen. However, it never mentions whether Woody, the black guy, has a large penis or not. (He does get the most action out of the guys, though.)

MADtv: Parodied in the "Flashlight" sketch, where two white guys whose car breaks down try to get a flashlight to work that requires shaking it for a while in a very masturbatory fashion. When they're interrupted by two cops (one black, one Asian) who think they just ran into a bunch of gays trying to get their groove on, the black cop whips out an enormous flashlight that impresses the two white guys. In what can be considered the inverse ethnic stereotype, the Asian cop then presents a rechargeable penlight.

Subverted again on The Simpsons. Marge has become wealthy and successful after opening up a women's gym, and Homer has heard from some other men there that these successful women will ditch him in favor of younger, more attractive men. Marge is talking with two other women at a business convention, and one of them suggests getting "a big black one." Homer fears the worst, but then it's revealed that they were talking about purses.

Israeli satire show Eretz Nehederet once parodied the blatant racism expressed by MK Miri Regev, who compared Sudanese refugees to cancer, in a skit predicting that she would eventually come to support them after forcefully converting them to Judaism and moving them to settle in the West Bank. When asked how she plans to convert so many of them, she answered, "With a machete."

In the film Black Dynamite, a modern Affectionate Parody of the genre, the protagonist manages to have sex with three women simultaneously, and please all of them equally. And to take the gag to extremes, it is revealed that three or four more women were asleep next to the bed at the time, already having been pleasured. The villain's dastardly plot is also to take this away from black gentlemen through drugged booze.

The Big Bang Theory: While at a conference, Howard meets Bernadette's black ex-boyfriend Glen and immediately becomes insecure because he didn't think he'd be compared to "someone like him" and fears Bernadette will find him lacking and return to Glen (or find someone similar). Later, when Penny's had enough of the conference, Glen offers to take her home and Leonard panics at the thought. (Actual size doesn't come up, but it definitely plays into the "black men as better lovers" elements).

American Dad! subverts it on at least two occasions:
In "Finances With Wolves", Klaus's mind has been placed in the body of a black man, and he is shown browsing condoms. He passes up the small, medium, and large sizes and grabs a garbage bag instead... which he fills with boxes of medium-sized condoms.
In "Virtual In-Stanity", Dick's Digital Avatar is a huge black man, and at the end of the episode he is shown buying the smallest brand of condom available, while worrying that they may be too large.
"Virtual In-Stanity" also contains a straight example. While introducing Phyllis (Stan's avatar) to the class, Principal Lewis asks that they give her a warm welcome, which also happens to be the name of a sexual position he invented. He begins to explain the technique, but stops himself because "y'all ain't long enough".

Eight Ball, a large black Marine, says he wants to go first, but the prostitute refuses to sleep with black servicemen because they're too "beaucoup." When Eight Ball angrily demands an explanation, Cowboy clarifies that "you black boys pack too much meat". Eight Ball than demonstrates that his "Alabama black snake" may be big, but it's not too big, and she agrees to sleep with him.

Deconstructed in the novel Eaters of the Dead, in which every culture apparently has this myth about one ethnic group or another. The Nordic women encountered by the Arabic narrator assume he'll be massively endowed; being well-traveled, he remarks that he's heard identical rumors in most countries, usually about a population that lives far away from whoever is spreading the rumor.

Indecent Exposure sees the Nazi-refugee Dr von Blimenstein enthusiastically assists with the therapy. In her day job as psychiatrist, she deals with the sexually repressed neuroses and paranoia of white South African women, that one day the blacks will rise and rape every white woman they can, and, well, the blecks are so big, aren't they? Her white female patients express an unhealthy obsession with the sheer size of black African penises and she uses this as the core of her shock therapy. She clinically calls this "blackcock fever". She also dealt with a case where a zookeeper with an inferiority complex chose to measure his erection against the length of a poisonous Black Mamba. This did not end well.

The Last Seduction: Bridget brilliantly invokes this to her husband's private investigator Harlan (a black man) to distract him while she's driving the car they're in. She brings it up and laughingly asks him to "show her his". When he sensibly refuses, she implies the reason he won't is because the opposite is true in his case. He eventually lets his male ego get the better of him and gives in, taking off his seatbelt to do so. This results in his death when she intentionally crashes the car.

On All in the Family, Archie asks his black neighbor George Jefferson if this is true and if a white man can increase his size. George has some fun with him by saying yes, but it comes with these terrible urges to shine shoes and carry other people's luggage.

In South Park: The Stick of Truth, the New Kid is abducted by aliens and is about to be probed. The first probe is white and the New Kid manages to break pretty easily. The aliens then send a larger probe that's black and proves to be more difficult to break out of.

The very title of Shaft is a pun on this trope, drawing attention directly to its eponymous protagonist's, uh, shaft and using it to establish him as a cool blaxploitation hero. The taglines for the films are loaded with puns on this; the original film's tagline was "the mob wanted Harlem[, and] they got Shaft... up to here", Shaft in Africa said that "Shaft is stickin' it... all the way", and the 2019 sequel promised "More Shaft Than You Can Handle".

Lili is seducing the new, black, sheriff. We hear this in the dark:
In the original script, this was followed by Sheriff Bart saying, "I hate to disappoint you miss, but you're sucking on my elbow."

In Get Out (2017), when Rose, a white woman, and Chris, her black boyfriend, meet one of the former's family friends, the friend asks if it's true black men are better in bed, much to the couple's discomfort. The scene is made even more awkward due to the fact that the woman's husband is sitting nearby. It's later revealed the woman and her sick husband were planning on transplanting his brain into Chris' body. Furthermore, part of the reason for the plot is because the old white people want the "physical advantages" of being young and black, which presumably include this.

Gaijin Chronicles is the blog of a black man who teaches English in a Japanese middle school. The first post recounts his dealings with his students, whose only knowledge of America comes from television, specifically their enthusiastic assumption that he has a "bigu dikku" and desire to confirm the same.

Of all places, The Golden Girls addresses this in an episode where Dorothy's youngest son gets engaged to an older black woman. Dorothy and co. meet up with her future in-laws and Sophia meekly asks "Is it...true what they say about black men in bed?" Before Dorothy can admonish her for it...
Dorothy then admonishes her mother for believing a stereotype, to which one of the in-laws replies, "Call it what you want, honey. I'm just glad it's true."
Mentioned again in another episode when Sophia mentions to Rose about having an elderly black male friend, but never thought of him romantically even though she always wondered if "that particular myth" was true.

An episode of South Park has Stan's mom develop an interest in the Shake-Weight, an exercise tool notorious in real life for requiring the user to make motions that look suspiciously like a handjob. The episode naturally plays the Freud Was Right implications for all they're worth, including revealing that there's actually a different model of the Shake-Weight which is black instead of white, and appears to be about twice the size, with the woman holding it clearly having trouble containing her, er... enjoyment.

The Full Monty:
Horse is rather concerned when he learns of the plan to strip completely, because he thinks everyone will expect him to be well-endowed where he's merely ordinary. Guy, a white guy, is the one who proves to be particularly well-endowed instead.
Also subverts it, in that Dave asks his wife whether, were anything to happen to him, she might take up with a black feller. She answers that she "might do, yeah." He immediately goes into a funk, because everyone knows they have "great bodies and that." However, he actually is talking about their entire physiques in general and not merely their equipment, because he's very insecure about his own appearance.

Samurai Cop. The infamous "Horny Nurse" scene involves a nurse coming onto the manly hero for no apparent reason, but then rejecting him because he's apparently not big enough for her. His black partner then chimes in that he might be big enough.

Invoked and subverted in the first version of F.A.T.A.L.: There's a magical armor that turns you into a stereotypical black guy. Its very disgusting and racist effects include that "If the wearer is male, then those around him are 80% likely to believe that his manhood has increased, though it has not."

Nymphomaniac: Zigzagged. Joe goes so far as finding an interpreter so she can have sex with an African immigrant who doesn't speak a word of English. However, she doesn't do this because of the man's alleged penis size but because she finds the thought of not being able to communicate with her sex partner enticing. However, both he and his brother are well hung, which we see in detail since Joe has a threeway with them.

Family Guy:
Played with when Peter, Joe and Quagmire are in Washington D.C and are sightseeing for a while. Quagmire later says this:
Another time, after an abstinence-only group comes through and gets all of Meg's classmates to take a virginity pledge, they circumvent the rule by having ear-sex (don't think too hard about it). While the evening news anchors are reporting this, they claim that the old-catchphrase has been changed to, "Once you go black, you go deaf."
Also invoked with recurring minor character Jerome, an ex-boyfriend of Lois. In his debut episode, she makes several Freudian Slips relating to his genitalia size, and in another, while playing softball, he says he has to "adjust himself", then rubs around his ankle.

Key & Peele:
The sketch "Sex with Black Guys" has the duo at a bar overhearing two white women talking about how black men must be better in bed, among other stereotypes. The two guys alternate between flattered by their assumptions and very appalled.
The trope comes up again in "Biracial Penis". Peele's character is biracial, and while he looks black he claims all the white has gone to his penis. Because of this he worries he's going to disappoint his girlfriend Amy, but Keegan assures him she won't mind because she's white and won't know the difference. As it turns out, Amy is biracial too and has a black vagina.
