Remember that Star Trek episode was about a planet where everybody was Black on one side or the other, but some of them thought they were superior to those who were Black on the other side?

I thought that episode could really help people to understand how stupid the white superiority complex is. This little kitten is so adorable, maybe this will also help.

It certainly had an impact on me as a kid -- how stupid it is to be prejudiced.

And, BTW, that would be the Riddler from the (wonderful!) 1960s Batman TV series.
