In the day to day world I don't think racial issues are that big of deal. I see people of all colors and shades getting along fine, at least from what I can see.
The far left loonies that run most of the media make things appear worse than they really are, my humble opinion of course.
I had the worse experience meeting Nichelle Nichols yesterday (actor who played Lt. Uhara).
I vote as an independent because I feel the Democrat party is so concerned about political correctness than social issues like gun control, help protect the environment, and poverty. I felt like Hilary wasn't eevn using the "vote for first female" in her campaign, all though I knew ton of people who wanted to vote for her just because she was a female.
Thanks,
the city
I too do not like "Identity politics", but try not to see it everywhere. The lady's task at the moment was signing autographs for people who were waiting in line and willing to pay for it. You were not entitled to her time and cutting into her patron's time just because you have a press badge.
If Ronald Reagan (former SAG president) had negotiated Uhuru's Star Trek contracts, she wouldn't be sitting and selling her autographs to a bunch of freaks at the freak show today.
The Left is debating this very thing: should it wage racial war or class war? Bernie Sanders came out for waging class was in front of a black audience in Mississippi (whose black major said he wanted to make his the most radical town in America) and paid the price.
Karmela Harris (?) said she might take contributions from corporations in front of a CA crowd and got booed for that.
It depends. Philosophically, the Left believes class is everything. But the Democrat base thinks race is everything. It will be interesting if the Dialectic can be woven to comprise the two.

It's more fundamental than that.
Recently, Bernie Sanders was called a white supremacist for showing even the tiniest of classically liberal thought.
The true battle for the soul of the Democrat Party comes down to whether they are going to move forward as modernists or as postmodernist.
The closer someone looks like you the more willing you are to accept that person as a role model. For ages minorities didn't have a public person to look up to. We didn't have the technology we have now to get the word out on someone.
I was going to say " what racial wars?" Ms. Nicholls probably gets asked the same questions over and over and has the same compliments over and over. She's old and probably grumpy and only there to make a few dollars. Making it a racial incident is silly, don't we get tired of that same old same old song and dance from hate merchants who couldn't make a living otherwise. They prey on the disinformed and stoke ignorance and paranoia and we're better off just ignoring it and moving on.
It is not about race it’s about culture
Each culture has its own morality
Culture is extremely resistant to change of any sort
Technology is often viewed as progress but is not -it is often cultural adaption

Everybody has their moments and the one described hardly rises to the level "racial war."
As for Avery Brooks, I would gladly follow Captain Sisko to the Gamma Quadrant and back.
