I haven’t watched a new Hollywood release in decades, but I read that the recent trend has been to portray blacks in films as the only hero, the one wise person, the computer genius, the one doctor with humanity, the lone physics genius who will save the world, etc. The whites are bumbling fools or worse, in comparison to the godlike black. It’s a mirror image of real life (ie, where are the black Stephen Hawkings, etc)

That’s where the term “magic Negro” came from. It was a description by blacks of the character in movies that makes white people feel good.
