About

Blackgeekdom’s purpose is to promote serious discussion of issues and ideas relating to the representation of minorities, specifically african-americans, as they are portrayed in science-fiction genre. This includes movies, television, comic books, literature and other types of media. Discussion can be fun or serious as long as everyone keeps an open mind.

There should be a forum created or image library for black artists to post their new creations…I like what this site is doing. And I think it is important that as blacks we create newer minority superheroes without an over emphasis on race so that we're not defined by it (I.E. Black Vulcan etc.). While these heroes may have served a purpose in the past, they only now serve to exacerbate the fact that our heroes dont cross over to impress white audiences or all audiences in general. Of course there are a few exceptions, such as Blade and War Machine, but we still need to get more of our characters into the mainstream. I want nonstereotypical black people in comics and videos games to be a regular thing.
