I love this guy's ambition for political exploration. So much more brilliant than that phony Shatner. Greatest captain of easily the greatest Trek brought to us by the greatest Trek writer Ira Steven Behr!

@Jitpring Yeah no problem. However everyone is being made to see the worls through white eyes so it is time for a different perspective.

[Jitpring]

@IEXECUTIVE Let's say that a white man advocated "looking through the world through white eyes." No problem?

If you love his voice, you should buy "Roots" on audio. It's like velvet.

I would like to meet Avery.

@dubp123 They are not being given their props by the mainstream.

@nublackmusic 2:45-4:30 A real brother talking.

[IEXECUTIVE]

@nublackmusic They had enough brown in the Trek Movies Burton and Dorn. If you add Brooks to make the divine trinity, the Eurocentric would die instantly overnight at the box office.

... an excellent actor; well spoken and well thought out. He is an amazing man - brown or purple. :)
