Ironically, Burton’s Roots role of white folks capturing him and selling him to slavery was fiction. But in real life kids are still groomed into sexual slavery and he’s against people trying to stop it.
True enough. But, I was focusing on Burton’s adopting the racial aspect of the woke menu. It’s more likely he feels empowered by what fame he has gained from “Roots” than as Scottie’s successor in “Startrek Enterprise.”
