The term "token" means something serving to represent or indicate some fact, event, or feeling. So a token black man refers to a black man, or any other minority, that appears on a TV show or movie for the sake of being culturally diverse.

Calling someone a token usually implies that they are the only one of their demographic or group represented in a situation, often to create the appearance of diversity or inclusion without real substance. It can suggest that their presence is used as a symbolic gesture rather than a genuine effort to promote diversity or equity.

Do you say token of money or token amount of money?
It depends what you mean to say. "Token of money" means a coinlike substitute for real money, which can be used exclusively on buses or other forms of mass transit. These are usually called "tokens". A token amount of something, on the other hand, is an amount just large enough to be able to say that it was paid. In the same way that a token minority employee is the one employee of the minority hired to prove that minorities are hired, a "token amount of money" is an amount given just to say that something was given. People often talk about leaving a token amount of money to someone in their wills, saying "I leave to my cousin John Jones the sum of one dollar." Likewise, a token amount of money might refer to an honorarium, a gift for services which is grossly less than the value of the services really is, and which is given to volunteers. Where I come from, "token amount of money" is more idiomatic than "token of money". It may be different elsewhere.
