Steve Black

Steve Black is the father of Token and husband of Mrs. Black. He makes his first appearance in "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000". His name is given as Steve in "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers".

History
Steve has only appeared in a few minor episodes. His first speaking role was in "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000", in which after Cartman is arrested for throwing a rock at his son Token, and arrested for committing a Hate Crime. Mr. Black however, disagrees with Hate Crime legislation, and educates the boys on why its a hypocritical concept. He then sends the boys to the governor to change the laws. He would have done it himself, but he was black. He later appears in the background of Chef's protesting with Token and Mrs. Black the South Park Flag in "Chef Goes Nanners".

However his second speaking role, was in the episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood" in which Token begins to question why they are so rich, and while everyone else is poor. Mr. Black reveals that Mrs. Black is a chemist for a pharmaceutical company. Both of Token's parents are horrified when Token wants to shop at J-Mart, and seems to not understand how to shop like middle-class people. He is so out of touch, that he feels that the floresent lights are some sort of alien weapon against them, and even hands his car keys to a random person, thinking them the valet. He is later revealed to be a lawyer.

His next appearance with a speaking role was in The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers, in which he and his wife are horrified to discover that Token was seen the porno-film "Back-Door Sluts 9", thinking that it was "Lord of the Rings." When Mr. Black demonstrates horror at discovering Token has seen the porn, and exclaims "Oh god, not that one!", Mrs. Black shoots him a furious look.

Appearence
Steve seems to be a middle aged man, in a blue jacket, white shirt, and black tie. He also wears brownish/red pants and black shoes.

Trivia

 * In "Proper Condom Use", Sharon says she agrees with what Bob and Linda said while at Book Club. Since the names of all of the other parents present (except Mrs. Tweak and Mrs. Tucker) had been given, fans gather it may be the Blacks parents' names. However, in "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers", Mr. Black is referred to as Steve.
 * In Here Comes the Neighborhood, the Black Family are called "The Williams". This may imply that the family's real name is Williams and that the town racistly calls them "The Blacks" or it may be a error on the South Park writers.
 * With Chef gone, the Blacks are technically the only African-American family living in South Park.
