"seems to be an african american with a forked afro and a sword with a white ribbon"

Haha, hahaha, I love they way you said that. xD

Its Called Afro Samurai | Main character voiced by Samuel L Jackson.

The animation is pretty amazing in my opinion and its chalk full of kickazz scenes.

Shes only 5 episodes long however but definitely worth the watch. Give er a shot. ^^
