The Sensual Geek

Single male geek, lover of sci fi and women and many things in between. I find so much on Tumblr of interest, I'll only reblog the things that stand out the most to me. Most of it will be naughty.

NSFW! All nude models over 18. Pictures are not mine unless explicitly marked as such. Do not feed Mogwai after midnight. Do not taunt Happy Fun Vorlon. Dry clean only. You have been warned.

  • “Uhura” comes from the Swahili word UHURU meaning “freedom”. Uhura was pretty much the first ever black main character on American television who was not a maid or a domestic servant in 1966. TV network NBC refused to let Nichelle Nichols be a regular, claiming Deep South affiliates would be angered, so Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hired her as a “day worker,” but still included her in almost every episode. She actually made more money than any of the other actors through this workaround, and it was kept secret from the other actors, but it was still a humiliating second-class status. The network people made life hard for Nichols, constantly trying to pare down her screen time, purposefully dropping racist comments in her presence and even withholding her fan mail from her.This deplorable state of affairs led Nichols to make the decision to quit after the 1st season, but then she happened to meet the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. who pleaded with her to stick with the show because as a Black woman she was portraying the first non-stereotypical role on television.

      I grew up knowing Nichelle Nichols as one half of the first interracial kiss on television. She broke a lot of barriers.
