Fantasy, Horror, Speculative and Science Fiction Fans often get painted as a "default" white. Granted there are plenty of fans who are, but it doesn't mean people of color should be excluded from the pack. People of African diaspora constantly get told it is "unrealistic" to have Blacks in the genres mentioned. Who gets to decide what is deemed unrealistic when people are running around with staffs, pointy ears, and futuristic machine guns?
That is why we are highlighting Black Science Fiction Society! Blacks have always been prominent in Science Fiction, but are not always given praise for being a part of the genre. Its 100% false that Black people don't read, watch and create Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror or Speculative Fiction, otherwise they would not be celebrating their 6th year online this month!
1. First off, congratulations on your 6th year up and running. Black Science Fiction Society seems to grow every day, and seeing your site around the time we started our blog, made it seem like our group was possible. Who is Black Science Fiction Society, and what is the goal of Black Science Fiction Society?
