Only Singer Tina Tunrer Could Play Uhura's Mother in a Cameo in Star Trek 12.Which is now Filming. Uhura's mother would be a Starfleet Admiral in Charge of the Intelligence Division at a Starbase near the Klingon Neutral Zone.
For those complaining about the "resistance" aspect of the kiss need to watch the entire episode. The episode "Plato's Stepchildren" and in the episode Kirk and Uhura are being forced to kiss against their will because these extra-terrestrial's posing as Greeks have powers to make them do anything they want. We also see Spock being forced to kiss and Kirk slaps himself in the face and literally acts like a horse. It was a weird episode.
i love how you americans say "meet lips", deep down is such a beautiful concept, you could use touch lips which is more accurate with what you want to say, but you use meet, as in come into the presence of someone, make acquaintance or even fulfill or satisfy.
That is such a gay kiss, LMFAO, are they scared of each other. Interestingly though, this is the first interracial kiss on TV. I've lived in America for the past four months and am going to college here, what I am beginning to see quite unfortunately is that race is still quite an issue, well I'm in Iowa I don't know if that changes things regionally speaking. I wish, very deeply in my heart that we could be more open to each other, they are great people everywhere
This was considered a KISS? Did they even meet lips?? I'm seeing alot of resistence from Nichelle. Maybe Shatner had bad breath or something, but hot damn, she doesn't seem like she's into this at all.
@whoregay In the episode it was a forced kiss. Neither Kirk nor Uhura did it voluntarily, so that's why there's so much resistance. But the question of whether they met lips is open to this day, because William Shatner said more than once that the studio did not allow that and therefore they had to turn their heads away from the camera to disguise the fact that they did not, in fact, meet lips.
Here's the context a lot of you don't know: Kirk played his part very strait-laced as far as fraternizing with subordinate officers. He was definitely NOT the character he played on Boston Legal. In this scene he loses his Captainly dignity because the aliens remotely force him to make movements against his will. They force him and Uhuru together for their own amusement and in this scene he is still trying everything in his power to resist their commands. Thankfully it was HER and not Spock!
It was the first interacial kiss although the way they did it was asshole-ish, in the story Kirk was forced to kiss her. as if kissing a black woman is disgusting. So I really don`t see how it changed anything.
It's unfathomable to think that this was controversial back in the 60's. Racists thought it was unnatural for people of mixed races to kiss each other, let alone get married. You'd think people would have learned their lesson by now, but now the controversy is with two men or two women kissing. I guess people always need someone to hate and discriminate against.
It was difficult to watch considering the context of the kiss. And I'm not a big fan of ppl kissing anyway, but I'm all about interracial things. Maybe one day after much more interracial "kissing" everyone in the world will be the same color and race won't be an issue. (even though 'race' is a myth anyway). I think I would have liked it better if it was Nichelle Nichols and Leonard Nimoy, but you can't always get what you want...
I find it so interesting that this was aired in the 60's, along with the other cases that others mentioned (sammy-sinatra, kirk and vietnamese), but they don't DARE try to do that now! I truly don't get it. and it goes beyond star trek. You simply don't find interracial r'ships on tv shows. Why is it they HAD to find another black female for Sisko in DS9....hmm, wait. Worf and Dax....but she died! lol....does anyone see what I'm trying to say? lol
@maratmasry You know, in the newest movie Spock and Uhura kiss, and the actors actually make physical contact instead of just faking it. I'd say that's about as interracial as you can get.
@lemur2000 For some reason, I simply refuse to see that movie. I don't know why. Call me a diehard Trek fan that refuses to see anything reinvented in the franchise. Maybe one of these days I would get up the nerve to watch it. But still, it is not that easy to find interracial contact like that so easily on silver or big screen
This episode was the first (or maybe second) interracial kiss on television. It's a bit more significant in '68, when the episode aired, than 2009, when the movie came out.
Even without the kiss, the fact that she was a main character on TV at all, as a star fleet officer and not some maid, is significant in itself.
I would kiss Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) in any time, place, episode, planet, ship in front of any group of aliens or humans! She was and is a very beautiful woman and actor! Spock's got taste! James is a male whore lol. If Kirk didn't like that maybe green is his thing. ;-)
BTW I have a question for people who might remember the 1960s. Uhura flirted with Spock in a couple of season 1 episodes ("The Man Trap" and "Charlie X"). Was it considered controversial or shocking? Or was it more acceptable, either because 1) it was mostly one-sided (even though Spock did uncharacteristically smile when she sang about him) or 2) his character was alien, even if the actor was white?
FrakkinToasterLuvva is correct. Sammy Davis Jr. and Nancy Sinatra were the first black and white kiss on TV, but this came only a year later and is One of the first black and white kisses televised.
Shortly after this episode aired, Gene Roddenberry got a letter from a Southern man saying "I don't believe in the mixing of the races, but anytime a red-blooded American boy like Captain Kirk gets a gal in his arms that looks like Lieutenant Uhura, he ain't gonna fight it."
Back when this happened, the ONLY way they were going to get this kiss past the censors was if Kirk & Uhura were under "mind control". BTW, originally, it was writen in the script that some other crewman was going to kiss Uhura, but William Shatner said, "Oh no, I am going to be the one to kiss her", because he was such a narcissistic upstaging scene-stealer.
He may be a narcissistic upstaging scene-stealer, but you can't deny that the impact of the CAPTAIN kissing his black communications officer is far more impressive than "some crewman"
Even if he only wanted the spotlight, I'm still very impressed by his willingness (heck, he was eager) to kiss his black co-star. He was ahead of the times.
"Captain Kirk's [...] status is proven by his ability to seduce any woman, in any situation, in any part of the galaxy. From high-society princesses to unbalanced Orion slave girls, from gender-switching shape-shifters to emotion-deprived androids they all swoon, acquiesce, and malfunction from just one kiss."
Yes, Gene Roddenbery and Star Trek is the greatest thing ever to come out of the USA (and that's saying something). We in Europe and the Far East appreciate it, but please don't let out those rednecks whatever you do, we've had enough trouble with George Bush. :-)
Roddenberry was a world citizen anyway. :-)))
Here's to all good women of all races around the world! ps. Uhuru was hot by the way! Giggidy, giggidy, gig-gi-dy!
As idiotic as QuiteUnsettled's post is, he/she makes a point: "I Love Lucy" was on before this. This was however still pretty damn controversial at the time.
Honestly I don't understand the term "interracial". I'm Puerto Rican and Scottish man, dating an African Native American woman. I think the whole race thing is really stupid. Probably the more accurate term would be "international" but that makes me feel like I should have some frequent flyer miles or something. I'm offtrack here, point is Spanish man kisses Caucasion woman, that was rische. White supremasists were most likely not happy at all.
Yes, the terms "race" and racial clasifications can be confusing. And they're really outdated. There was a 19th century classification of humans into "Caucasoid", "Negroid" and "Mongoloid" race which is now considered outdated (no idea why the former term has stuck in USA), as well as many other classifications (for instance, white Europeans were divided into "Nordic", "Alpine" and "Meditarrenean" race). Modern science, however, has rejected the old classifications and even the idea of race.
Humans actually all have very similar DNA, so there is, strictly speaking, just one race, human race, and many ethnicities with different physical attributes like skin colour, hair texture and colour, etc. So, I suppose, the term "interracial" is really inaccurate. "International" means from different countries, so it wouldn't really describe a black and a white American person, but would apply to a German and a French...
although, in this case, a kiss between Shatner and Nichols was international because she's from USA and he's Canadian :p
Anyway, I guess the point is, these TV kisses were all revolutionary at the time. I'm sure a lot of white supremacists were annoyed at a Hispanic man kissing a (Anglo-Saxon) "white" woman... but I think a kiss between a black and a white person was a much bigger taboo (although the outrage would've probably been even bigger if it was a white woman and a black man).
Of course Star Trek was jew Communist propaganda so it shouldn't suprise anyone that the "first" such abomination was between a jew and a Negro.
Also the person who posted this video has apparently forgotten "I Love Lucy" which promoted race mixing well before Star Trek. Ricky and Lucy had mongrel children you know.
sorry whoever you are, but you have no idea what you are talking about. I hope that what you wrote was some kind of sick joke, but if not you belong in a time long past and no one want to hear your primitive psycho bullshit. also if you don't like it why even take the time to look for and watch the video. Probably just to state your ignorant opinion. sorry to everyone else for rambling.
"I am a robot. Does not compute. I am programmed to obey. beep. beep. Communist. Beep. Jew. Beep. Socialist. Beep. Muslim. Beep. Terrorist. Beep. Patriot. Beep. Redneck. I am a robot. I have no original thoughts. Malfunction. Malfunction."
Looks like we need to switch off this unit, Spock, its stuck in ignorant bigot mode. That's a logical conclusion Captain. :-)
kinda of. the tv stations didnt want 2 show it on tv in the south. How sad.I think any person back then who was or still is offended by something like this is really ignorant & narrowminded. i love kissing black gurls.. get it captain kirk!
It is funny that Kirk is fighting it. If I had a woman like Uhuru in my arms and was told to kiss her I would need no forcing to to do it. They might have to use force to get me to stop.
That's debatable. On I Love Lucy, people saw a hispanic man and a white woman kissing, but in Cuba, Desi Arnaz would have been considered a white man.
Like I said, it's debatable. In Cuba where people come in all colors, Desi was a white man, especially to the black Cubans. But Desi probably faced his share of discrimination in America. He almost wasn't cast as Lucille's husband in I Love Lucy even though the two were married because the network didn't believe that a Cuban man and a white woman were believable as husband and wife.
Shatner said they didn't actually kiss,but it was at least supposed to be an onscreen kiss. Wikipedia said Nancy Sinatra had already kissed a black man on television.
Did you know NBC pre-empted STAR TREK episole on prime time in the south in 1960'S. JIM CROW!!!.i'm living in the south and still facing RACISM.I'm afro-american,i'm still facing racism to this day,From slander from an white minister to white asst mgr.from an family resturant falsely accused me for stealing night deposit,to not invited to see my white friends because white parents refused to invited me to their home like black males are criminals.RACISM will be here till we died.get used to it.
that's ****ed up man, but don't forget one thing. they are USA white people :-)
Only 17% have passports so pretty ignorant I reckon. All my mates are of different countries/colours/religions. If anyone even thought of being racist they'd get their ass kicked. The more we mix the less the gloopy ones spread their STUPID disease. :P
That's because, in the episode, their body movements are being controlled by the people watching them. I remember watching this when it was on TV. It caused SUCH a big stink, but I thought it was great and courageous, for the times.
btw. i know this kiss was history but the situation they did it in was pretty disgusting he made a choice it was either kiss this black woman or the world would be over.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm a black female and I prefer white guys over any other race in the world because they're hot sweet and sexy - InterracialFriends dot com (Most of them at least.) I also love the way they dress and talk. It's soooo sexy but anyway. I think the most common form of interacial dating is black girl/white boy or black boy/white girl. I'm sorry but most of the time when theirs interacial dating most of the time it's black or white sometimes mexican.
sunny3601, eww I cant believe you even said that. That ws such a sweeping generalization. TRUST ME, not all White guys are sweet sexy and hot and everything nice and whatever.
Yeah, it may be one of the more cheesy kisses I've seen, but the creators took a risk in doing this and I applaud them. This was back in the day when there lynchings, people being sprayed with fire hoses in the street, or getting beat up just for trying to intergrate the school systems. So rock on, we do need more interaccial couple shows though!
Ok, I don't care about who is kissing in these pathetic videos! They are just plain FUCK STUPID! That is it, period! The only thing these videos will do is attract SHIT HEAD racist against IR and from both sides of the fence! You worthless FUCKS need to find something better to do with your time. If you are interested in skin flicks, I suggest porn! Go all the way ASSCLOWNS! LOL, all these kissing videos suck donkey dick! Captain K is was not a racist though!
It's ridiculous because there have been interracial affairs and marriages throughout U.S. history and yet showing two fictional characters touch lips was thought to be groundbreaking! And didn't Nat King Cole and a white female singer get in trouble for touching while doing a duet? And those were supposedly "the good old days."
It's hard to believe that this can be groundbreaking! lol. But hopefully, in the future, anyone will be able to kiss on tv regardless of colour or gender and not a a big deal (good or bad) made about it!
Did you know that NBC forbid them from actually letting their lips touch? That's why they turn away from camera- to conceal the fact that they weren't actually kissing. Isn't racism ridiculous?

Honestly I don't understand the term "interracial". I'm Puerto Rican and Scottish man, dating an African Native American woman. I think the whole race thing is really stupid. Probably the more accurate term would be "international" but that makes me feel like I should have some frequent flyer miles or something. I'm offtrack here, point is Spanish man kisses Caucasion woman, that was rische. White supremasists were most likely not happy at all.

Yes, the terms "race" and racial clasifications can be confusing. And they're really outdated. There was a 19th century classification of humans into "Caucasoid", "Negroid" and "Mongoloid" race which is now considered outdated (no idea why the former term has stuck in USA), as well as many other classifications (for instance, white Europeans were divided into "Nordic", "Alpine" and "Meditarrenean" race). Modern science, however, has rejected the old classifications and even the idea of race.

Humans actually all have very similar DNA, so there is, strictly speaking, just one race, human race, and many ethnicities with different physical attributes like skin colour, hair texture and colour, etc. So, I suppose, the term "interracial" is really inaccurate. "International" means from different countries, so it wouldn't really describe a black and a white American person, but would apply to a German and a French...

although, in this case, a kiss between Shatner and Nichols was international because she's from USA and he's Canadian :p
Anyway, I guess the point is, these TV kisses were all revolutionary at the time. I'm sure a lot of white supremacists were annoyed at a Hispanic man kissing a (Anglo-Saxon) "white" woman... but I think a kiss between a black and a white person was a much bigger taboo (although the outrage would've probably been even bigger if it was a white woman and a black man).

Of course Star Trek was jew Communist propaganda so it shouldn't suprise anyone that the "first" such abomination was between a jew and a Negro.
Also the person who posted this video has apparently forgotten "I Love Lucy" which promoted race mixing well before Star Trek. Ricky and Lucy had mongrel children you know.

sorry whoever you are, but you have no idea what you are talking about. I hope that what you wrote was some kind of sick joke, but if not you belong in a time long past and no one want to hear your primitive psycho bullshit. also if you don't like it why even take the time to look for and watch the video. Probably just to state your ignorant opinion. sorry to everyone else for rambling.

That's debatable. On I Love Lucy, people saw a hispanic man and a white woman kissing, but in Cuba, Desi Arnaz would have been considered a white man.

Like I said, it's debatable. In Cuba where people come in all colors, Desi was a white man, especially to the black Cubans. But Desi probably faced his share of discrimination in America. He almost wasn't cast as Lucille's husband in I Love Lucy even though the two were married because the network didn't believe that a Cuban man and a white woman were believable as husband and wife.

Shatner said they didn't actually kiss,but it was at least supposed to be an onscreen kiss. Wikipedia said Nancy Sinatra had already kissed a black man on television.

That's because, in the episode, their body movements are being controlled by the people watching them. I remember watching this when it was on TV. It caused SUCH a big stink, but I thought it was great and courageous, for the times.

I'm a black female and I prefer white guys over any other race in the world because they're hot sweet and sexy - InterracialFriends dot com (Most of them at least.) I also love the way they dress and talk. It's soooo sexy but anyway. I think the most common form of interacial dating is black girl/white boy or black boy/white girl. I'm sorry but most of the time when theirs interacial dating most of the time it's black or white sometimes mexican.

Yeah, it may be one of the more cheesy kisses I've seen, but the creators took a risk in doing this and I applaud them. This was back in the day when there lynchings, people being sprayed with fire hoses in the street, or getting beat up just for trying to intergrate the school systems. So rock on, we do need more interaccial couple shows though!

It's ridiculous because there have been interracial affairs and marriages throughout U.S. history and yet showing two fictional characters touch lips was thought to be groundbreaking! And didn't Nat King Cole and a white female singer get in trouble for touching while doing a duet? And those were supposedly "the good old days."
