37. ALWAYS WOKE. IS CALLED INTEGRATION.
Sat Jan 17, 2026, 06:59 PM
Saturday

In 1966 NBC was bothered by Spock (pointed ears! What is that all about?). An Asian and a black woman on the bridge. Some southern stations wouldn't show TV shows which had black people on them. When was the last time Stephen Miller even watched television in the last 60 years? Star Trek Strange New Worlds has included gay characters. Even Donald Trump can't do anything about that.
