And he always was bitch.
And I don't see what Reading Rainbow or anything else Levar Burton has done is relevant. He got the award cause he was bitch on Star Trek.
And don't get it twisted. I'm all about Black Nerds. I'm the founding member of he Black Nerd Society thankyouverymuch.
My question is, why do things always have to be in such extremes with black men in Sci-Fi? Yeah, the oversexed, over-hip, hyper-violent Black male is a messed up stereotype. But I've noticed in COUNTLESS sci-fi movies, television shows, comic books , and action movies in general, that black men (when not completely absent) are more often depected as scared, emasculated, and bitch so as to not challenge the Alpha status of the lead white actor (which is why black men are also often depicted as homosexual). This relegates us to the sidekick, and more importantly, prevents us from ever competing with the white man for the females or ever taking charge of the situation (which goes right to the heart and soul of what white supremecy is all about). So yes, while Geordi IS intelligent, he's not brave, he's not strong, and he's not a leader. His intelligence is just a tool to be used by the white man in charge. The nigga computer. Fuck that bullshit. I don't want black children growing up with THAT as a role model. Jesus, no wonder so many black kids don't want to acheive in school - they're afraid they might end up like bitch-ass Geordi!! Why can't we just be normal? NORMAL! The man's a Starfleet officer and he fights like my 11 month old niece! He doesn't have to be Worf to have some balls, he doesn't have to be Jimmy Walker to have some damn personality and flare, and he doesn't have to The Mack to have a DATE once in awhile! Jesus Christ! What's WRONG with you people!! Can't we be HEROES?! Can't we have it all!? Data was smarter than Geordi, kicked more ass AND got more women and HE'S A DAMN ROBOT!! Now if that ain't white supremecy at work I don't know what is.
By the way ... they can move several times the speed of light but they can't cure blindness? Oh wait, I forgot, Geordi chose to have to stupid ass glasses on. I remember that in like ... the first episode. He CHOSE his disability. That's some shit that only a black man existing in a white man's fucked up vision of the future would do. Bitch-ass ...
Our problem is that we're so used to being insulted and degraded we get happy anytime a black man can speak well. Again I say, fuck that. I'm not lowering my expectations and letting these people off the hook because "It could be worse". I don't know a single black man that reminds me of Geordi Laforge, and if I did I'd shake the shit out him unti he started acting like a man. Or I'd boot his bitch ass up off my starship. Or I'd tell him to come out the closet, be proud of his homosexuality, and learn to kick some ass because gay or not, he's a Starfleet Officer and lots of alien ass needs to be kicked, god-dammit!
I'll never forget the episode where they visited the "sex planet" (it was like the first or second season). Even way back then I knew right away who wasn't going on THAT away team. And I was right. WHAT MAN DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO THE SEX PLANET?!
Take it seriously. Take it VERY seriously. Geordi is bitch. Levar is bitch by association. Therefore, I'm firmly behind Huey on this one.
Y'all kill me ...
