"Racism in Star Trek"

Closet Racist · 03-29-2007, 02:26 PM

Read this and get mad:

*** L I N K ***

"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan – This is one of the most despicable and racist of the Star Trek films. An African Starfleet captain played by the late Paul Winfield is captured by an evil white man and controlled like house slave with an alien slug placed in his brain. Later, after failing his “master”, Winfield’s character kills himself in shame for failing to serve the commands of his white master."

Doesn't he mean "an evil, genetically-engineered East Indian portrayed by a Mexican"???

Yes, well we all know however that all Mexicans WANT to be white.. so what's the difference?

Hmm...sounds like the over-the-top stereotype of the angry black man as portrayed by the gay comics writer in "Chasing Amy."

I'd have posted this over at TW but Star_Child would have tried to turn it around make me into a racist while his crotch-sniffing lapdog Jeremy would back him up...

You mean like what happens to me all the time? It's interesting how my responses go unanswered.

I certainly noticed. Now they're trying to brand that female caddy as a racist on the flimsiest of evidence, "just on the event she may actually be"...

I started that thread because I didn't see much reason why Imus got blasted while she was ignored. It certainly went in unintended directions.

I don't know if you checked out the Obama/race thread, but I really unloaded in there.

With the thread I just posted, I'll probably be labeled an anti-Semite as well. Oh well...the parody was too good to resist.

I'm sure I skimmed it but I'll go back and read the fine print. It's usually a disaster when I try to post over there because of the ants and rats.

It's in the Shore Leave forum...a straight-up parody of CA's latest.

I cut Jer a tad bit of slack. He got a hell of a lot more cynical and introverted when he lost his fiancé. Still, one would think he'd come out of his cocoon at some point. I mean, that was a LONG time ago.
