anyone that tries to say star trek has “gone woke” or some stupid shit like that clearly isn’t a fan of it and just trying to rile up stuff. I mean come on… how can someone say that and have watched the shows LOL

Not to mention the first black woman officer and the first black/white kiss.

the first black/white kiss.

…in a drama series. This was the first:

That’s Lynn Fontanne kissing Sammy Davis, Jr. at the 1965 Emmys.

As far as the first interracial kiss, that does have a star trek connection- Desi kissing Lu in 1951.

On top of that, Shatner himsellf kissed France Nuyen on the Ed Sullivan show in 1958.

Specifically why I said black/white. and peck on the cheek isn’t consider a “kiss” by most people. (although it probably caused a stir). This was also right in the middle of the black civil rights movement which made it that much more risky.

Okay then, you’ll have to go with Sammy again and Nancy Sinatra:

That would have been in 1967. Plato’s Stepchildren was a year later.

On top of that, you have to further specify that this is only on American TV, because Gordon Heath kissed Rosemary Harris in a production of Othello on the BBC in 1955.

Sorry you only get one shot at being pedantic, after that it just gets sad. (Even if you may be technically right)

Do you think insulting a mod will go well for you? And congratulations for proving the above meme incorrect about Star Trek being the nicest fan base.

Showing you that a passionate kiss between a white woman and a black woman happened on British television over a decade before Star Trek is not being pedantic. You were just wrong.

Holy shit a MOD??? They insulted a MOD???

I’m so sorry milord, I can’t believe they had the audacity to insult your modliness in such an insolent manner!

May they feel the mighty unchecked wrath of someone who has ban power on a small online community and know the error of their ways

I will give you the same warning I gave them. Civility rules apply to everyone. Please do not violate them again.

Also, why do people insist on showing that the Star Trek community is not, in fact, nice?

Forgive me, I know not how to genuflect before your modliness in a more civil manner.

Mystery indeed how a show as strong as Star Trek with such well-rounded role models would attract those who aren’t. I suppose not everyone can act like a captain, Chief Petty Officers have to come from somewhere
