Uhura dissed by Abe Lincoln

And they would be calling the constitutional ban against ex-post facto laws "racist."

ahahahahaha

Sulu is thinking:

"I should be Captain! This is MY ship!"

"negras"

Policy doesn't tell for personality, man.

And changing government wasn't the half of it, it was about the secession of the agrarian South from the cosmopolitan North. Different economic systems, different social contracts, and believe it or not, slightly different foreign relations. It sort of made sense to be different countries, but the arguments to the contrary made sense too.

Er, who's this 'they' that wanted an end to slavery, and how did they forfeit their right to representation?

Hey man, I know ambivalent racism is pervasive and the fight against it is still totally relevant, but your defensive/aggressive stance isn't going to win over any hearts or minds. It'll alienate the people you need to convince.

But hey, look at this episode as a triumph for the civil rights movement. Uhura was a kick-ass woman, and Star Trek was groundbreakingly progressive. My little gay heart would sing if 'faggot' just got the sort of blank stare 'negress' got in this episode.

Nah, it's explained in the episode that Abe is his personal hero. He probably just knows random trivia.

knew that, was goofing off.

anyway, what are you trying to say? do you have a problem with egrets? I'll have you know some of my friends are egrets!

stop talking out your arse u plonker. 'egret?' what the fuck? get your ears tested boy!

uh huh I knew it YOAR A EGRET-CIST!!!!11one
