  Token Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Token Black is a fictional character on the animated series South Park.
Token's first major role came in episode 401, entitled "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000," when the FBI considers Cartman's hitting Token with a rock a hate crime.
In the episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood," Token's last name is said to be "Williams," but in episodes "Quest for Ratings" and "Wing," his last name is said to be "Black." The South Park creators may have either forgotten or deliberately changed it, due to Token being the 'token fl' child in South Park.

 Frat Files - The Black Man
Similarly to the "Token Asian," most fraternities have their token "Black Man." On some superficial levels, the "Black Man" has assimilated to the stereotypes of his white frat brother: wearing polo collared shirts, drinking from kegs rather than his natural 40 oz.
His frat identity is highly dependent on the fact that he's fl - and he is therefore the unquestionable authority on hip hop music and fl culture.
However, it has been recently brought to light that the "Black Man" is not a member of the fraternity for the same reasons as his white brothers.
