He also played Kunta Kinte in Roots. LeVar Burton has a pretty cool acting career.
He also directed the Star Trek DS9 episode “Bar Association”. That’s the episode where Rom embraces Marx, and O’Brien lets us know what sort of people are more than heroes.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch DS9 lol. Didn’t Burton also get into episode direction during TNG or was that just Frakes?
A lot did. Stewart direct some, LeVar, I think gates McFadden directed a couple. Everyone but garret wang
Violence against fascists is always justified and based.
cw: accidental transphobia/badly phrased. My thought process is explained below. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it the way it sounds. Leaving for context.

Hiding your fascism behind “think of the children” and the bits you were born with is cowardly, even for fascists.

One of the things I love about the sci-fi TV show Babylon 5 is that this is it’s core message.
I should have said it differently. I obviously understand that genitals do not equal gender. I’m rather tired today, and was thinking of it as like, she thinks women are people with vaginas, so when she says women(/in the case also mothers), she’s just hiding behind her genitals. I hope I explained that okay.
I’m sorry if I upset or bothered you.
Not the people you replied to, but it totally makes sense in context what you meant
Pretty sure they mean the bioessentialist rhetoric of gender comes from genitals at birth. It’s an absurd claim that transphobes hide behind.
I absolutely agree with you. I phrased myself badly. Women solely being people with vaginas is her view, that’s why I said it that way. She boils being a woman down to what you were born with, so when she employs “women” that’s what she means. I was (still am) very tired. I’m sorry. Trans women are women, genitals do not determine what you are.
If LeVar Burton thinks you’re trash then you should probably re-evaluate who you are. He’s cool as hell and I met him at my school once! He was handing out books to kids because he really does take child literacy seriously because he’s cool as hell
