On an episode of the legal drama Law & Order, an African-American stockbroker (Courtney B. Vance) cites black rage as his defense when he is charged with murdering his mentor. However, in that case, it is demonstrated that the defendant actually committed the murder to cover up a massive securities fraud. The term Black rage is referenced in the movie Chasing Amy, where an African-American character in the movie begins shouting the term after a diatribe about a perceived lack of Black characters in science fiction, pulls out a (fake) gun and shoots (blanks) at his white audience.
