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.
