Reece, I understand that he did respect her, very much so. Mind you, this is all, at best, tenth-hand intel.
And I plan on catching "Hawthorne", if I'm conscious at that time. Today's been bumpy in spots, and the bed's talking to me already. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] Re: The Disposible Negro in sci-fi list Date : Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:39:05 +0000 From : mcjennings...@yahoo.com To : "SciFi2" <scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com> Sigh...well, at least I hope he respected her behind closed doors. I'm watching the last half hour of Lonesome Dove. I'm finding lots of good TV since I cut out all 3-digit channels. Anybody planning to watch Jada Pinkett's new series "Hawthorne"?

Roddenberry recognized it by putting her right behind KEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOK on the Bridge, so that she (or at least *parts*) of her made it in shot. And, if the tales I've heard are true, Roddenberry did *more* than just "recognize" her beauty... he *appreciated* it in a way *all* men wish they could've. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] Re: The Disposible Negro in sci-fi list Date : Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:06:29 +0000 From : mcjennings...@yahoo.com To : "SciFi2" No chauvinism in recognizing beauty. I was flipping channels (a chore without a remote), and I saw her at that console. I was just back from 18 months in the Philippines, and I was appreciating Black Women. And here is Uhura. Lawd!

You may think a negro is disposable but then you remove them and all heck breaks loose. I mean haven't you seen Douglass Turner Ward's "Day of Absence" where all the negroes disappear one day and all the white folks don't have a clue as to what to do? I mean take something as innocuous as Lt. Uhura on Star Trek. You would think she was a disposable negro, afterall, anybody can answer the phone, but it totally ignores the fact that her showing up on the bridge everyday in those boots and that mini-skirt made the mens, James T. and the rest of dem, happy - heck - eager to come to work. Remove Uhura and it gone get snarly, snarky and plum ugly up in there quick and in a hurry. ~rave! --- In scifino...@yahoogro ups.com, George Arterberry wrote: > > Please list the greatest disposible Negroes in sci-fi.What is a disposible > Negro you ask?
