Yet another movie where blacks are always the first of the main characters to go. you can predict like clockwork.
share" I Still Know What You Did Last Summer " and " Wrong Turn 2: Dead End " are a one more couple of movies that disprove your theory.

typical american question....

natural selection. considering the rest of us moved out of afrika 2m years ago i cant believe they are still at war with each other. If afrikan people weren't so warlike maybe they wouldn't be killed off so much! Even a vampire's gotta defend himself........
Carter, one of the main characters is black. I think the OP is talking about him.
"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna `*beep*` wit' me!" Hudson in Aliens.
Carter (played by Nathaniel Lees) is Samoan, not black. He doesn't even look black (or African).
And he lasted for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time. He was one of the final people to die, not the first.
I cannot believe you think someone of SAMOAN descent is black! I'm sorry, but
you, the OP and anyone else who thinks this are all idiots!
We call this the Loom of Fate.
Actually this is one of the recurring jokes in the 'Scary Movie' series but it's completely false, there's hardly any horror films where the black guy gets killed first, off hand I can't even think of one. I really don't understand where the cliche came from, it's the white dude that always gets killed first in a horror movie.
sharei don't think the black people die first. but if they are in a horror movie then they will most likely die. pretty much if you are a man, your screwed. if you are anything buy white, your screwed. if you drank, had sex, or do drugs, your screwed. if your a prankster, or a jock, your screwed.
pretty much the only movie that i can think of where a black man survived was texas chainsaw massacre 3. you think he's dead but he comes back at the end. other then that i can't think of any other movie.
House on Haunted Hill. There is only one black guy in the movie, and he is one of the 2 survivors at the end. I.e. only the white folks get killed.

i'm thinking it's because they are easy to freak out and not think rationally so they make mistakes or they become psychos and isolate themeselves from the rest of the group which leads to their deaths. but persoanlly i think it's the man that just looking for another way to keep the black people down because we all know that a black man has a better chance of survival then the white man does in a horror movie situation.
white people will be freaking out, creating drama, ect while the black people would just not trust anyone, and think of everyone as a killer, then kill everyone before they get killed.
Yeah, we either die first or survive the horror.
... actually, I think the latter only applies to rap stars.
Oh boy, I'm screwed.
Something of a broad generalisation. It might have been more true twenty to thirty plus years ago but here's a list of movies that blow what the OP has said out of the water:
In no particular order:
Deep Blue Sea
Snakes on a Plane
Out of Sight
House on Haunted Hill (Remake)
Assault on Precinct 13(The remake although the same can be said for the original funnily enough)
Dawn of the Dead (Remake)
Conan the Barbarian (Not a remake in my opinion but a new version of a iconic character)
Mars Attacks
Anaconda
Halloween H20
Halloween Resurrection
1408 (Samuel L Jackson is barely in it but never the less)
xXx
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Die Hard
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Urban Legend
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3 Dream Warrior
A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Speed
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Mission Impossible 1 - 3
I could go on like this all night!
In Aliens (1986) Apone and Frost are killed off quickly, but so are a few white characters?
The OP might be referring to an older age of Hollywood where such racial cliches were more common?
Film critic Alex Cox once criticised the David Lynch film 'Wild at Heart' (1990), whereby the black guy gets a beating during the first few minutes, as harking back to a more racist era.
