03. REVENGE OF THE NERDS – Lamar Latrell (Larry B. Scott)

Lamar was the token black nerd in this film while also serving as the token gay too. While the other nerds were working overtime to get a peak at the girls of Omega Pi’s panties, Lamar had no interest in those fishy games. Nosireebob! Lamar was too busy trying to convert that little piece of jailbait Wormser while still finding time to put together fully choreographed live performances that would make Michael Jackson spin in his grave.


There have been token Black Guys Since the History of Movies..But some of these guys are not just tokens.,They only hang around White’s off the set. I’m saying you don’t see alot of them at any Black function.like the soul Train awards or any affair given by Black Ent…

Well a couple of them you don’t see period because their careers have dried up, they have retired, or they are dead.

I disagree with the following with explanation: Al from Die Hard. Really?! He is not the token black guy when there are other black guys that played in that movie(remember the computer guy for Han’s team, or the driver for McClane or Little Johnson(FBI)? So no on Al, who was a great guy in that movie. One consideration, Tyreese’s part in those bad Transoformer movies, Billy Dee in Tim Burton’s Batman(DA Dent). Actually anything Billy Dee was in w/o Diana Ross or James Earl Jones.
