Black Ranger
Encyclopedia : B : BL : BLA : Black Ranger
Black Ranger is a designation given to several Power Rangers characters. In the Sentai version of the show, the Black Ranger usually serves as second in command. Black Rangers are often part of the core Ranger team. When the Black Ranger is not in the core five Rangers, the fifth position is usually taken by a Green Ranger. Like the Green Ranger, there has never been a female Black Ranger. Some people considered placing an African descendant as the Black Ranger racism. Because of this, there has not been an African-American Black Ranger since Zack.
