When Buffy died, Kendra became the Slayer. She was Black. And the slayer Spike killed and took her coat in 1977 was black too.

IDK. Being black isn’t edgy enough anymore. Maybe it will be a gender confused African American.

"When Buffy died, Kendra became the Slayer. She was Black." IIRC, Kendra was an Indian, Malaysian, or Indonesian...Not black...

So much lack of originality. Just the same stories over and over again. TV has definitely become a wasteland of sub-par entertainment.
Just remember when the ‘Bread and Circuses’ ran out for the Romans, The Empire collapsed soon thereafter. And we are headed the same way...

Hollywood is till out of original ideas.

There was also another black slayer in season 7 when they had had several slayers at once.
I was a big fan of Buffy...collected all the season on dvd as well as the spin off Angel.
I think Joss Whedon is trying to relive his glory days when he was in his prime with a number one show and a busy casting couch. I don’t think things have been going to well for him since his wife called him out for being a pervert.

Gordon Pinsent was in "Blackula?" Hap Shaughnessy just might have lied about being in a film like that.

I guess its too much to ask Holyweird to respect minorities enough to give them their own franchises rather than slap them in already established ones out of cowardice and a desire to virtue signal.
