 The black guy is a detective, and he's the coolest person in the movie. That is either Mr. Tibbs from Sidney or Shaft. Both Mr. Tibbs and Shaft got three movies out of their character. In fact, John Shaft is the longest-running black character in the history of American cinema, played by Richard Rauch, who played that same person, for 48 years. So you look at this, you see you have this transition between black people having to be noble and black people being able to be flawed.
