"Tiny as this audience is, it has the nerve to be
extremely fractured and segmented." - You choice of words seem pretty harsh.
How about us being more diversitfied in our tastes? That is simply one more
challenge...It means you can keep serving up vanilla if you know that they
crave a little butter pecan as well...

those black folks don't like the SAME sci-fi, fantasy, anime, comic
books and horror. Tiny as this audience is, it has the nerve to be
extremely fractured and segmented. It has become crystal clear that
what floats my boat, won't necessarily float anybody else's boat. In
fact, sci-fi and fantasy constitutes a very small part of my current
reading or viewing. I would much rather read a good detective novel
than a good sci-fi book: I am more apt to read Walter Mosley than
Brandon Massey. My heavy SF reading was almost a quarter century ago.
I remain in these groups because the people I have met there tend to
be interesting and intelligent but when it comes to satisfying our
diverse tastes, I don't believe we can all get along!
