Well it gets complicated for that type of question because some blacks get offended when asked that question cuz they don't want to be within a "Stereotype" but fail to realize lots of groups are and either way you look at, stereotypes start from true patterns we know about people then turn over time into generalizations about people.
Anyway I would say
1. Comedy (Not so much romance comedy or comedy drama--more like actual shows like Kings of Commedy, Queens of Commedy, Chris Rock Live, BET's One Mic Stand, etc)
2. Movie Comedy (Scary Movie, Soul Plane, etc the typical "comedic/ghetto" stereotype of black stuff
3. Some Profound drama that's historic or relevant to the "comtemporary black community" (Malcolm X (Denzel Washington, SPike Lee, etc), Roots, Selma, Lord Selma, Gangster movies(ATL, Boys in DA Hood, Meance II Society, Poetic Justice, 8 MILE, etc
4. Some though are into to the mindblowing Oscar deserving and winnning things such as Titanic, Monster's Ball, etc
5. ANY TYLER PERRY MOVIE OR STAGE PLAY WHATSOEVER. Just about every black person has seen, heard about, or joked around about Tyler Perry's infamous character : Madea.
6. Urban stuff: dance movies (Step up, Save the LAst Dance, You Got served, Honey, etc
8. Action: Bad Boys, Never 2 Big, etc
Um, I think that gives it justice. Although I might be excluding a few things, I do have a headache by the way.
