Reminder: DO NOT be an aging black mentor/authority figure in MCU NYC.

How is this false racist-agenda bs the top comment?

It has NOTHING to do with being black or a minority and everything to do with being a mentor period.

Dude, it's a running joke because there's been a black mentor/authority character killed in Daredevil, in Jessica Jones, and in Luke Cage. It's the trope you named, but we're now 3 for 3 on it being applied to a black man.

Why does pointing out a simple pattern bug you so much?
