Time Travel show features black character whining about how unfair life is for blacks in America

Star Trek is as fresh as yesterday's dog vomit. They should do something new.

A show like Firefly would be good, free enterprise folk trying to make a living despite an oppressive socialist government interfering.

That's what you get out of Firefly? I think you're watching TV wrong....

Go to hell, you obviously never watched Firefly if you don't know what it's about.

I've watched Firefly multiple times. I never think about it as "free enterprise folk trying to make a living despite an oppressive socialist government interfering".

When you think of Star Trek, do you think, "The journey of explorers from a socialist utopia"?

Yes, that's exactly what Gene Roddenberry intended it to be. He made it clear in Next Generation that the characters were not even allowed to have conflicts of any kind between them. It made for very boring TV.

Again, I think you're doing it wrong.

Star Trek only gives passing mention of the political structure of the Federation. The show is about exploring the galaxy, about humanity's interactions with alien species, and using the science fiction as a metaphor for current problems and situations. I doubt Roddenberry intended people to think his show was about socialism.

First episode of new AMerican Horror story had a black man falling victim to the "knockout game" by white thugs.

Surprised?

What started out in the mid-60s as a reasonable attempt to eliminate the residual effects of Jim Crow has gradually emerged as a collaborative brainwash effort on part of the mainstream media, the entertainment industry and the federal government. While I haven't seen the movie you've referenced the scenario you described is indisputable evidence that an effort is underway to create a clearly deceptive impression of the racial situation in America.
