The Coen brothers films are usually very patriotic american movies, so they don't really tend to create a black character as the main role as it wouldn't suit the setting.

The cab driver in Big Lebowski. I know he wasn't too big of a character, but he was funny and very memorable.
And check out Blood Simple.

I have just watched Blood Simple now, for the first time. The black bartender, whose name is Meurice is very memorable, probably because
he seems to be the only sane person in the whole movie.
. The rest of the cast is great too, especially Emmet Walsh.

Memorable:
Marva Munson, from The Ladykillers
Sheriff Wyner, from The Ladykillers
Othar, from The Ladykillers
The Blind Seer, from O Brother Where Art Thou
The singing gravediggers, from O Brother Where Art Thou
Memorable, but kinda annoying:
Gawain, from The Ladykillers.
Fairly low-key:
Meurice, from Blood Simple.
Tommy, from O Brother Where Art Thou
Moses, from The Hudsucker Proxy

Sure, there was the blind man in O Brother Where Art Thou, the old woman in Ladykillers and the janitor in Hudsucker Proxy
Not very prominent characters, it would be interesting to see a Coens film with a black lead actor.

The cab driver from "No Country for Old Men". He was the only character who seemed in tune with the situation, even more so than Sheriff Bell.
