99% of right-wing media is reading ironic, joking or satirical comments with bad faith literalism. It helps make for interesting and productive conversations.* * Note: actually, that's a joke: it's not 99% and it doesn't make for "interesting etc."https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1026943390091563015 …

Richard Pryor did it earlier & funnier. You were joking about honkycausts and holocausts as well as Nazis, and I didn't say anything about hate speech (don't really believe in it). Is the new progressive line that racially-charged humor is ok if its funny enough?

I've long been on record as defending the racially/ethnically transgressive comedy of Lenny Bruce, R. Crumb, Richard Pryor, Sarah Silverman, Dave Chappelle, Philip Roth & the early Charlie Hebdo (although CH has gotten tiresome lately).
