Avery Brooks the captain from Star Trek Deep Space 9 was black listed

[SleezyBigSlim]

Avery Brooks AKA Hawk on ‘Spenser: For Hire’ Was 'Blacklisted' by Hollywood - Inside His Life
Only because he stood up for his character, they wanted his character to be dead beat dad and abandon his family on the series finale. He convinced the writing team to change the dialog to tell his wife he will return. Happy ending, but he was black listed because Hollywood wants to feed into the negative black male stereotypes racist fukks

Good looking

dude has talent

but any black man who’s educated like him and come from the era he did, always stay on their principles

No love for the only ever black captain on Star Trek

Best captain on Star Trek. People standing up for their principles is a rarity these days. Respect.

I stan a good man of integrity like him

When he decided to grow a goatee and shave, he looked much better.

Early in the series he look like a granny lol. All he needed was a bad wig

Avery Brooks is on a different level in general Hollywood wasn't and still isn't trying to portray the the caliber of black man he represented

I'd honestly rather he be blackballed than forced to do things beneath him

He’s coming back in Picard

Can't fukking wait for the dope ass cameo... sisko's ending was abrupt and still left too many questions... Best captain on star trek imo...

Read the article it wasn't because of the ending because he was well respected on that set.

Dawnn Lewis (aka Jaleesa) is the captain on Star Trek: Lower Decks and Sonequa Martin will be the captain on Star Trek: Discovery this upcoming season.

But Avery is easily one of be best commanding officers in all of the series. Now we know why things didn’t pop off for him following that show.

He was great in American History X.
