Well, principal Wood was a fairly significant addition to S7. He
suffered in that he wasn't Spike.
I really like the flashback stuff with his mother.
The initiative was S4. Forrest ended up a cyber-zombie.

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.

This is a great idea for a list. 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*

recurring characters as well as likable and important to the plot
(such as Gunn and the demigoddess played by Gina Torres from Angel
the Series).

a disposible Negro you ask? Well if he or she is removed from the
