If he had actually been an angry black guy, he would have been a more interesting character.

He was more of a bland cardboard black guy. Who was supposed to remind you of a cool/angry black guy by proxy because of who they cast.
Don't remind me. Windu was such an incredible missed opportunity.

Jackson could have been such an amazing dynamic character if you'd made him a Republic general or a bounty hunter or a crime boss or... well, basically anything other than a Jedi Master, especially one who spends 90% of his time sitting in a chair scowling at people.

If they absolutely, positively had to keep him as a Jedi, they at least could have given him something to do. Set him up as the leader of an internal faction, one that was in favour of more intervention and participation in the Clone Wars where an opposing faction, perhaps led by Yoda, would be in favour of pacifism and non-involvement in political affairs. There's all sorts of interesting storylines that could make, especially in terms of how it would tie in to Obi-Wan (noted in the OT as being a talented general, so probably someone who would fall-in with Mace) and Anakin.

The Jedi were just so painfully dull for most of the prequel trilogy, and Mace seems to embody that more than anyone.
