William Shatner: "Not a lot seems to have changed" since the first airing of his Star Trek series

William Shatner @WilliamShatner
During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.

about more than just The Kiss. All sorts of wokeness went on. But as a society, we aspired to it, or mostly, but now the loudest among us object to it.
