I recently had a conversation with a relative telling me they could not watch one of the recent Star Treks because they heard it was “woke”.
It’s Star Trek. It is ALWAYS woke. Star Trek (1966) was woke fifty years before “woke” was defined as a thing.
You can’t have Star Trek without “woke” because that’s what Star Trek is.
I mean TOS had black people who could work on the bridge and be engineers, not to mention a whole episode on how black/white people are the same as white/black people, what kind of shameless woke debauchery is this smh
It doesn’t get more blatant than a society divided by whether or not the left half of their faces are black or white. And having their conflict resolved by the end.
And so many actors from the original Roots, including both Lavar Burton and The Sisko, were in Star Trek.
