Black History Month

When Marvel decided to cast Laurence Fishburne as the voice of the Silver Surfer - maybe they got it right after all.

On his home planet Norrin Radd is 'white'.

But his planet has two suns - one red one blue.

Under the different lighting conditions of Earth,  Norrin Radd may not be 'white' after all.

But is there such a thing as a Black alien?

 Uhura doesn't count.
She is (they are) still from Earth - they just travel around out in space.

The same could be said of Kunta Kinte's character.

 But The Brother From Another Planet is Black - just not Africa-American.

 And Mace Windu is Black as well.

 In Earth Girls Are Easy - Damon Wayans plays a Black guy from outer space.

 And those from an earlier generation remember Billy Dee playing Lando Calrissian in earlier Star Wars movies.

 But my favorite Black alien would have to be Thandie Newton in The Chronicles of Riddick.

And let's not forget The Riddick himself.

If there are other races of beings in outer space - do they have such a thing as racism?
