Theres also LL Cool J in Deep Blue Sea - he makes it, but when the sharks start to ruin everyones shit he mentions to himself:
“Ooh, I’m done! Brothers never make it out of situations like this! Not ever!”
See previous link/thread.
Sorry Dad. I got the quote in anyways. I looked for that I did. My post is my cite.
Ironically, in that particular episode (“By Any Other Name”), the aliens demonstrate their power by turning two crew members into cubes; a black guy and a white woman. The alien leader crushes one of the cubes and restores the other, and the black guy has survived.
The two black cast members of Predator, Carl Weathers and Bill Duke, die within a few minutes of each other quite late in the film, and well after numerous generic South American bad guys get wasted, as well as Jesse Ventura. There are, at most, three characters of the original commando squad left when they buy it.
Actually, the first member of the Dirty Dozen to die was Trini Lopez, who was killed in the initial parachute drop.
Jim Brown dies, but not until AFTER he’s killed Telly Savalas (the psychotic Maggot) himself.
Charles Bronson was the only convict on the team to survive.
Wes Craven was almost certainly playing with the cliche we’re presently discussing, though.
I think the quote refers to the [sarcasm]good ol’ days[/sarcasm], like the 40s and 50s, where blacks commonly only had bit-parts. One of the bit-parts, of course, was being the team members who die. The comment doesn’t really mean the black guy dies first, it means the black characters are more expendable than the white characters.
So, if you’re quoting movies from after the Civil Rights Act, and after the growing awareness and move towards racial equality, you’re not going to find meaningful examples.
The STAR TREK episode quoted above was, IMHO, a clear and deliberate exception. Two crew members, a cute white girl and an average-looking black guy, and one of them dies. Killing off the white girl was, IMHO, a deliberate reversal of audience expectations. So, by the late 60s, we’re already moving past that concept that the black characters are expendable.
Come to think of it, he didn’t even make it through Happy Gilmore alive.
In Predator, it’s the two nerdy white guys who get it first. I think even the Predator realized that they were hardly trophy material, and dispatched them first just to get them out of the way.
Come to think of it, he didn’t even make it through Rocky IV alive. How many ways can he be killed?
He did survive Action Jackson, but that may have killed his career.
Star Trek deaths weren’t about being white or black. They were about not having a name or wearing a red shirt on an away team. 
IIRC Jim Brown is the first to get greased in “Ice Station Zebra”.
Then there’s “South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut” in the Army’s Operation Get Behind the Darkies.
The cultural enlightenment was somewhat spoiled when, after the guy is restored from cube form, Kirk kneels down sifting the powder of the girl with unrestrained anguish, the most ever seen by him when mourning the passing of an away team member. He usually just shrugs off the death of a red-shirt. So the implication here is that Dead Miniskirted Hottie == Grevious Irreconcilable Loss, while Dead Male Redshirt == Noble Sacrifice.
To nitpick, he dropped the bag of ammunition before he fell over the railing. When it exploded, it killed Crowe, and moments later, we got to hear Wierzbowski get nibbled upon. Sgt. Apone, the other black guy, was then captured and we can safely presume he was killed in the thermonuclear explosion.
In one of the best episodes of original Trek, The Galileo Seven, there’s two white guys that get killed off with maybe one line of dialog between the two of them. The black guy has a much larger and more interesting role, and survives.
The example I always think about is Scatman Caruthers in *The
Bastard. What key did I push to submit that automatically?
Here’s the rest of the post.
Shining. It is often the very interesting but small parts that get killed off. He is a perfect example of a really cool character who gets axed (literally).
Also, in Night of the Living Dead, the black guy is the last guy killed.
Here is a list:

I was going to cite the Scatman Crothers murder scene too, and man oh man did Pauline Kael rip into Kubrick for that one. She compared it to a dialogue in Huckleberry Finn where Huck is telling the old lady about a steamboat disaster.
“The boiler blowed up.”
“Oh, my. Was anyone hurt?”
“No, 'm. Killed a n****r.”
Figures. I guess I have a tendency to attribute any funny line to Pryor or Murphy.
Yeah, I think he was using comedic license and sort of conflating several episodes. It wasn’t actually a cube, either. It was a dodecahedron or something.
