This Contains Spoilers for Outland, Sudden Death, Timecop and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt.
But in 3 of the movies he made (Outland, Sudden Death and Timecop) the black character turns out to be a bad guys.
Also I watched "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" where back and white issues are quite present, without having a black character turning into a villain.
Minus that I only saw a WW2 movie with Harrison Ford, Capricorn One and 2010.
Don't get me wrong I liked all of his films so far and I am aware that if you have bad black guy in your film it doesn't make you prejudice. But I question myself on it.
Any thoughts? -

It's all in your mind. You've watched 7 films and three of them had black bad guys, whereas 2 of them had black good guys hardly statistically significant of anything. You're just looking for stuff that isn't there.
It's also worth noting that there really aren't any "black and white" issues in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (a brief one-line suggestion that the D.A. might be looking for to prosecute someone white to appease the public, and the black cop making a couple of black jokes are hardly enough to say the film featured "issues").
