“I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it.” MenHappensUniverseSidesBlackFictionStudyPossibilityPlanetsScience FictionVariousPhysicsHolesBlack HoleVortex Author:Wesley Snipes

“While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me.

“Imagine a crime series in which, every week, there is a white suspect and a black suspect. And every week, lo and behold, the black one turns out to have done it. Unpardonable, of course. And my point is that you could not defend it by saying: "But it's only fiction, only entertainment."” DoneTurnsCoursesBlackWhiteFictionImagineWeekCrimeSeriesEntertainmentSuspects Author:Richard Dawkins
“If I describe a person's physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is "black" or "white."

“There was a period that black film had no chance of making it in Hollywood. So, people just made the made the statements that they wanted to make. Whether it was a science fiction film or whatever, b/c they were just making movie for themselves. Then there was a period where people were creating projects as their Hollywood audition 'pieces'. I feel that today we are moving back to the era where we all have our own voices.” PeopleFeelsMadeTodayWantedFilmMovingBlackVoiceChanceFictionPiecesPeriodsProjectsCreatingHollywoodScience FictionStatementsErasAuditionsMoving Back Author:Reginald Hudlin
“The condition of visibility as it relates to black people was crucial. Connected to that, I've always been interested in science fiction and horror films and was acutely aware of the political and social implications of Ralph Ellison's description of invisibility as it relates to black people, as opposed to the kind of retinal invisibility that H.G. Wells described in his novel Invisible Man.” PeopleMenWellsKindFilmPoliticalSocialBlackFictionNovelConditionsHorrorScience FictionConnectedInvisibleRelateDescriptionCrucialBlack PeopleImplicationsHorror FilmInvisibilityVisibility Author:Kerry James Marshall
