I was on the mailing list of the BLACK SCIENCE FICTION SOCIETY'S website..(.Lost an email to spanner's b. s. Might check it all again anyway)....A suggestion...FYI...

Then, too: Today's black sf devotees turned creators/illustrators/writers/etc. should be coming up with their own stuff, not recycling everybody else's, aka the 'new and improved' takes on white characters, etc. Otavia Butler created her own...She did break new ground....Others need to do likewise....FYI...

It was and is the bigotry and racism among the status quo of those other folk that keeps this a 'us' vs 'them reality...Now contrast that with those whites etc. who voted for Obama...Not their fault if he's fallen short of their expectations etc. FYI...

Consider (if you will) how in spite of the usual white hype about Star Trek, it wasn't until those spinoffs black actors/actresses/etc. played more than token characters....One needs warp drives to get from TOS to THE NEXT GENERATION...Whereas poor Wolf was more of the same...Until 'The Sisko' and your beloved Tuvok...It's Romney not Obama who is playing his 'race' card...FYI...
