Anime doesn't have the greatest track record for black characters, Japan in general doesn't.

Who would you say is the most intelligent black character in Anime? Can you think of any occasions in an anime where the smartest man in the room was black?

I can only think of one, Dragonball where Staff Officer Black (yes that;s his name) is in a room with Colonel Red.

Qr1uTDZ

And when the go to example of the smartest black guy in anime is a bald violent murdering criminal with big lips and a massive nose, that says a lot.

But CE reads a lot of Manga and tons of anime. You'll know better than me,

He most likely never met or saw a black guy in person until 2004

Leon Sykes from Beck. He's a dangerous record producer from America. He does some really cleaver things in the manga version of Beck which isn't shown in the anime, as that only covered a quarter of the manga.

Dutch from Black Lagoon
Afro from Afro Samurai (though to be fair, I guess he's just really good at fighting)
Zelm and Fang from Until Death Do Us Part (in my opinion, this manga has some of the best black representation of all Mangas in general)
Satoshi Batista from Michiko to Hatchin

Someone said Avdol in post 15 before I did. It was just easy to miss since it was a sigless user who posted it.

Avdol was written in the 80s too. Araki seems to be pretty good at diversity. He had made Smokey even earlier (even if Smokey doesn't do much). We also have a literally handicapped MC, which is pretty rare in all of fiction.
