for star trek day, i think we should start talking and raising noise about how avery brooks has been, according to cirroc lofton, blacklisted for discriminatory racist reasons from being on the screen despite wanting to return to acting, and star trek corpo keeps absolutely silent about it despite still using his name/captain sisko/ds9 as a cute little cameo for all their new shows, including name dropping his character in the episode he directed which he is most proud of and according to everyone involved put his whole heart into, far beyond the stars, of course ignoring all context surrounding the episode.
"I don't have any trouble being physical with my children. That's a part of my nature, as opposed to something they wrote about Sisko and Jake. The first day I met Cirroc, I hugged him. And I hug him every time I see him" - Avery Brooks
“I love seeing their relationship. Avery is so warm and connected with this kid. The Sisko character is not connected with many other people, in fact, maybe with nobody else. This man is out there alone with a lot of stuff going on inside of his head. The one person with whom he can reveal his emotional self on a continuing basis is his son. It makes for such a wonderful contrast with the rest of his character.”
