Black President

The Underfold

Greetings speculative Fold!

It is sad to think that when a black man was cast as the president in a movie not but 10-15 years ago was the thing of headlines and shock…

Anywho, name the movies with black presidents! Go!

EDIT: I’m also allowing television shows, and would say that captaining a ship/colony would roughly count as high an honor in the future as presidency.

The obvious one was Deep Impact with Morgan Freeman as the President.

Just added television and positions of equal value (depending on the type of science fiction) to the mix. Does that help?

Deep Impact was the only one I could remember too.

Just added television and positions of equal value (depending on the type of science fiction) to the mix. Does that help? (Although, there was a more recent, MUCH more recent one with a black president… but it was after the fact)

I am at a loss. I am old and senile and don't watch many movies anymore. I spend all my time drawing and reading comics and taking my medications. I might have seen some movies with a black president but my memory is not what it used to be.

Think BRAND NEW.

If I could think brand new my comics would be a lot better but alas… I am stuck in a time warp and everything is foggy.

I know 24 had Dennis Haysbert as President for a while.

But that's not necessarily Sci-Fi

I beg to differ. Have you watched 24?

Deep Space 9, he wasn't president but was captain.

The captain of a floating state!

Tyler Perry's Madea goes to Washington

http://intensedebate.com/people/bman2damax bman

How about Tyler Perry as the head of the Federation School in new Star Trek? That's ridiculous enough… (That it's Tyler Perry… not that he's black)

Fresh Prince, president of his fraternity

I wonder what minority will be the cliche for presidents next.
Asians, maybe?
Native Americans, hopefully

Wow! Didn't anybody mention Danny Glover in the recent "2012"? And wasn't there a black president in one of the Terminator movies?
