All right! You've gotten your Ensemble Cast but something's missing. Something... funky. A character to provide kickass quotes to be tossed around the Internet. Apparently Samuel L. Jackson is interested in the project. Yes. Enter Soul Brotha. This man is a badass. He is pure coolness. He speaks in a slang at once incomprehensible and utterly groovy, and he sho can groove. He usually is calm and laid back but he is nothing to play with; he doesn't tolerate disrespect and he never backs down from a fight, he can defend himself pretty well whether he has to defend himself physically or with weapons, most of the time he comes out the one winning the fight. If he dies (and he probably will) it will be in the coolest way imaginable. He may or may not have an afro, but he will certainly be Black. You can also expect this character to be The Casanova. It's rare the creators make this character faithful to one woman. Expect him to ask where all the white women are. Most of the time this character is not the protagonist. He is usually the The Lancer and if not, you can expect him to be in part of a duo with a white guy who is not as nearly as cool as him. Sometimes this character is just a Token Black Friend to the protagonist, or a cool guy version of Uncle Tomfoolery. If he is the protagonist it's usually in a film or series which the cast is mostly black. These characters were most popular in The '70s, during the height of Blaxploitation. This character would also usually be American, or occasionally Jamaican. According to this trope, Black men are somehow inherently cooler than their non Black neighbors. Part of this is the fact that most American music genres developed in the 20th Century has roots in the African-American community: Jazz, Blues, Soul, Hip-Hop, Funk, Rock & Roll, and yes, even Country Music. Additionally, Black Americans have often introduced new forms of popular slang and fashion into the mainstream, and have historically acted as 'cultural innovators'. The same phenomenon can be seen in other countries like the United Kingdom, where a lot of slang and fashion finds its roots in Black British culture. In the Caribbean, Ska, Reggae, Dancehall, and Rocksteady originated from Afro-Jamaicans and have spread a similar image of Cool Caribbeans around the world. Plus, while the aesthetic and the idea of cool itself has had a long history worldwide, the term "cool" itself was coined by Black Americans. See also Token Black Friend. One of the few roles where there isn't really a such thing as "too black". Examples |

Frozone in The Incredibles. When he makes his first appearance in his street clothes when he enters the Parr family residence, "cool" is the first thing that comes to your mind, which is appropriate, given his ice powers. Being voiced by Samuel L. Jackson may have something to do with that. And he has 'Fro in his name. All together now: "Where is my super-suit?" | |

Frylock, of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, has aspects of this. In other ways, however, he is a huge nerd. Boxy Brown is this trope combined with Scary Black Man. Of course, he's just a box. Shake briefly becomes this after being bitten by a radioactive black man. |

In the musical Passing Strange, there actually is a song named "Soul Brother", in which the young, middle-class Youth starts a punk rock band with his friends. They sing lines such as "My mother stands in doorways beggin' me to conform/Be a good, football playin' snazzy-dressing brother/so the sisters can be able/ to tell you to from the others" and "So Roots blew your MIND?! I learned that shit in third grade... in Ms Madeira's class". | |

Jazz and Blaster in the original Transformers cartoon were the two Autobots most into Earth music and culture. Naturally, they both were voiced by black actors (trivia: in Jazz's case, by awesome character actor Scatman Crothers). In the IDW comic series, where the Autobots are shown using holographic avatars, that used by Jazz is, naturally, a black man. | |

Garth Marenghis Darkplace pokes fun at the racism inherent in this trope via copious amounts of Stylistic Suck - one main character is (from the dialogue) clearly supposed to be written as one of these and even gets a rap verse in someone's song, but Garth Marenghi cast his own publisher in the role, apparently assuming that because he is black he'd be able to pull it off. The fact that he is extremely uncool in appearance, voice and mannerisms, and is easily the worst actor in the entire cast, significantly diminishes the effect. | |

Death Proof: Kim is a female example; a badass stunt driver and Action Girl, who's also a Boisterous Bruiser. Unsurprisingly, Quentin Tarantino wrote her to be a female Samuel L Jackson. Downplayed with Jungle Julia, who's the charismatic radio DJ and Ms. Fanservice of the group. She's however portrayed as something of an annoyance to her friends, and it's hinted she's not as cool as she thinks she is. |

Jazz fulfills the role in Transformers (2007) once again, although the only thing left of the Jive Turkey is a more of a Mythology Gag. He introduces himself with a friendly "What's crackin', little bitches?" and a breakdancing move. | |

Afro Samurai has Samuel L. Jackson voicing two of them: Afro, a samurai who's calm, stern, and an unstoppable killing machine; the other is Ninja Ninja, Afro's companion and the guy who doesn't do much more run his mouth to deliver exposition. Guess which one falls under the trope. | |

Inverted/parodied in Amazon Women on the Moon, which features a parody commercial for a charity to help black people born without soul. Another commercial parody advertises an album by Don "No Soul" Simmons, a character played by David Alan Grier who's exactly what he sounds like. | |

Blackish: The Grandfather (real name Earl Johnson but the main characters call him Pops), who is played by Laurence Fishburne. He acts more like a stereotypical Black male in a cool manner (despite being elderly) compared to most of the male main characters in the series. | |

Det. Neal Washington in Hill Street Blues, kind of; he's definitely got the mannerisms down but his accent and slang don't really stand out enough to qualify as this trope. | |

Transformers: Jazz and Blaster in the original Transformers cartoon were the two Autobots most into Earth music and culture. Naturally, they both were voiced by black actors (trivia: in Jazz's case, by awesome character actor Scatman Crothers). In the IDW comic series, where the Autobots are shown using holographic avatars, that used by Jazz is, naturally, a black man. The version in Transformers: Animated is also a ninja and uses nunchucks. A pair of nunchucks. |
