Well, first let me say, that to those that come and read my blog, I am sorry that I have not been posting at all and not as much I use to. Life has been happening, I am back in school and working to finish my second Masters in Educational Technology (An online program, GO GREEN, *Michigan State University if you didn't know that*), I started and pretty much done with my bartender class *if I ever sit and study to pass my speed test*, and my job is ending this coming Friday, so I guess I will be able to have more time post more. BUT THANK YOU ALL for coming back and reading.
So while I was working on my school work as I usually do on Sunday nights, I stumbled across the Batman, yes the original Micheal Keaton one. It dawned on me as I saw Billy Dee Williams for the hot second, as they referred to him as Harvey Dent. From there a thought that has been on repeat for so long has finally lead me to put this post down. You know, being a black geek, and truly into comics I can't help but get excited when I see a black person in a Marvel or DC Film. Not the background people, but the supporting actors/actresses (cause they have yet to have a LEADING black actor/actress in a Marvel or DC film *patiently waiting for Black Panther MARVEL!*) So I decided to start another on going list much like, the Black Presidents post when I first started this blog. So here it is.......keep in mind more will get added, as it goes on...some are obvious, cause they actually are black characters, some others that had roles that you might have over looked, and some had their fair share of back lash.....but the list must go on.
Marvel Films
Amazing Spider-man 2 : Jamie Foxx : Electro
Blade : Wesly Snipes: Blade
Black Panther: Chad Boseman (already confirmed)
DareDevil : Micheal Clarke Duncan: Kingpin
Captain America: The First Avenger: Derek Luke : Gabe Jones
Captain American: Winter Soldier ; Anthony Mackie: Falcon
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance: Idris Alba : Moreau
Iron Man : Terrance Howard : Lt. Jame Rhodes
Iron Man 2 & 3 : Don Cheadle: Lt. James Rhodes/War Machine/Iron Patriot
Marvel Movies: Samuel L. Jackson : Nick Fury
Thor & Thor 2 : Idris Alba : Heimdall
Guardian of the Galaxy: Dijmon Hounsou : Korath the Pursuer
Guardians of the Galaxy: Zoe Saladana: Gamora
Guardian of the Galaxy : Vin Diesel : Groot (Voice)
Wolverine Origins : Will.i.Am : John Wraith
X-Men: First Class: Edi Garthegi : Armando Munoz/Darwin
X-Men Films : Halle Berry : Storm
X-Men: Days of the Future Past : Omar Sy : Bishop
X-Men Days of the Future Past: Jaa-Smith Johnson : Mutant Solider (remember that random mutant at the army base that made the other sick and the bio-hazard sign show on his palm, with the spike hair, yea that guy.)
DC Films
Batman (1989): Billy Dee Williams : Harvey Dent
Superman III (1983) : Richard Pryor: Gus Gorman
Constantine (2005) : Dijmon Hounsou : Papa Midnite
Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy: Morgan Freeman : Lucis Fox
Man of Steel (2013) : Laurence Fishburne : Perry White
Clearly! we see who is winning in the diversity arena. I'm just saying.
Of course the list will continue, but these are the names I could remember off the top of my head....
If you got a name, send it to me or comment, and I'll add it with your name by it.
As Always these are my thought......What are Yours?

Happy New Year Sasheer Zamata!!! YAY SNL.
Well first off let me say, HAPPY NEW YEAR WORLD!!!! 2014 is here, Special salute to all of those that just want to do better than they did last year, I salute you. For Real
Now I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to be my first post of the year, and sure enough, it came to me. /Actually it was sent to me in a hangout chat/ So here it is.
But before I get to the main point, lets review something first. Remember this just from a couple of months ago.
I just want to say, I am truly ecstatic about watching SNL now. I use to watch it before, and a lot of it to me was hit or miss. But now, I am about to set my DVR to record it all time. So Ms. Zamata, Way To Go!!! I'll be watching.
I haven't seen any of her material, but I do hope she is funny, and not just on SNL, because you want to have a black female cast member. Tokenism is what it is, but can be used to one's advantage... regardless that post will be coming later on. Her debut will be Jan. 18th, tune in.
I think I might have a new crush.....haha
