re: #34 Anymouse 🌹🏡

I recall a discussion of “Time Tunnel” where people were asking “how come there were no black people on the show?”

That answer was any black person going back in time would be subjected to slavery in the societies they met (or worse). No black person if such technology was available would get within ten miles of it.

There was a CBS show that was cancelled a few years back called Timeless that dealt with time travel and had an African American man as part of the team. One of the ongoing issues that character had to deal with were those very issues - whether it was Jim Crow and segregation, or slavery, depending on the time when they traveled to.
