HAPPY STAR TREK DAY!!!!!!! If you know anything about me I love Star trek TNG(the next generation) The NCC-1701-D is my ship, she brought me into the trek universe. When i was a little boy I used to get the crap beatin out of me by the other kids because I was black and I LOVED science, reading, and science fiction, and many many other nerdy things.One day after getting a black eye that was rather nasty my mother was going to take me out of the school i was in and move to a different neighborhood, she sat me in front of the T.V. while she went to go talk to the parents of the kids who kicked my ass. I was ready to give up on science, there were no black scientists no black people were nerds it was just me.....and then I saw a man in the yellow and black talking about how much he loved the ship he was on, how the engines were his babies. He was an officer, he was respected, and he looked just like me! Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) didn't just keep my love of tech and science and nerdy things alive, he thew into a dilithium chamber and hit warp 10! Just seeing someone who looked like me being respected for his love and passion for what he does changed everything for me! From then on I feel in love with star trek, and I'm so happy it led me to meeting  more people who look like me and have this same interest!!
