Frakes wants 'Code of Honor' erased

Newbs say Star Trek was always woke, so why does Frakes want an episode of a woke series erased?

As a black American, I watched that episode with my brother and a couple of buddies, and we all cringed (we cringed after we laughed I guess). It's not bad enough they're all black with no other typical Star Trek facial appliances that would identify them as aliens, but did they have to give them African tribal wear? LOL. It really is out of place today but it most certainly was even back then. But it never kept any of us up at night, particularly me - not much does.

But you know what pisses me off? White liberals who fall all over themselves to out-woke each other. Cucks like Frakes scour everything they can to look for something to "call for removal" to show just how enlightened they are compared to every other white person. Does Frakes sponsor any African children to go to school and have meals?

I do.

All Frakes had to say if someone asked him about that episode was something like "well, it wasn't our finest hour" or something to that effect and leave it at that.

Nice post.

Well thought out.

Erased? No. It would be better to start the episode with a caption warning the viewer of material said viewer may find offensive. Disney does a similar thing with some of its older movies.

reply

Nope, to hell with "trigger warnings" programming people what to think.

But the episode is so realistic. An African planet would be backwards as fuck.

reply

True. Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and both North and South America would still be stone-age to bronze-age if there had never been contact with Europeans. That's a fact, and facts cannot be racist.

You cannot erase the past but you can always learn from it.

Even as a kid, at the time it was a bad episode. I remember it seemed dated even then. As if they had found a script from 60's and used it as is.
I recently started a rewatch of TNG, and the episode is still really bad.

If people to find it offensive, then a disclaimer should be enough.

That being said, I agree with others that this was a good episode for Tasha in the sense that it gave her something to do (other than doing Data).

the woke movement remind me of the burning of books and art from renicanse italy by religious fanatics
