Some slightly cool news

I'm always bitching about how blackfolk--even the smart ones--end up dead in horror flicks, right?

Well, with all the crappy stuff SciFi has pulled lately in regards to POC, at least they conceded one thing.

In Supergator, the black chick not only lives, but has some brains and proves to be smarter than her white professor (and he even concedes to that point at the end of the movie).

Mind you, she didn't get to fight the gator, and fell prey to the usual female screamfest that happens.

But.

She lived all the way through the movie, with barely even a scratch. ^^ That's something, at least.

that reminds me.

The black girl in Freddy v. Jason lived through almost all the movie. And I didn't mind her dying because she went all bravado. She mocked Freddy's manhood. It was, if I remember right, also a noble sacrifice. She was buying time for her friends. But hey, even when mocking Freddy's manhood, she also did not speak in ebonics.

Indeed it is. Good to know. Another black chick that survives is Lexa Woods in Aliens v Predator.
