Martin, I thought briefly of that principal. He does fit the list - and so does his slayer mother from the 70's, the one Spike killed.
It's funny, because Buffy the Series didn't have any regular African Americans on the cast, but Angel did for the majority of the show's run. In Buffy, all the black people who appeared got killed almost immediately or they had minor roles. There was one black male cast in like season 6 or 7 of Buffy. He was part of the Initiative; the guy who plays him is named Leonard something and went on to star in the first season of Heroes as D.L. -- where he was unnecessarily killed in a flashback in volume 2.

I nominate Kendra Young, the first African American slayer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She was introduced and killed in one episode. Her character could have had a lot of potential but wasn't developed. When she died, the storyline wasn't affected, but it SHOULD have been. *sigh* > > I can't be angry at Joss Whedon though.
