[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 11 months ago (1 child) It's usually a bad sign when they have to say that. The only way anything can be better is when the majority of everyone says it's better. Saying it out loud doesn't make it better. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today -19 points 11 months ago* (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago "they should keep politics out of Star Trek" Ah I see the problem here.

The episode is often cited—incorrectly—as the first interracial kiss on television. It was, however, the first instance in which a kiss between a black person and a white person on U.S. television was scripted, as an earlier kiss on Movin' with Nancy was unscripted. The episode aired one year after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down nationwide laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Star Trek has always been political. permalink fedilink source parent
