I wasn’t saying that at all. Think about all the fighting that happened in the late 1960’s and 70’s. Monty Python poked fun at it in The Quest for the Holy Grail. Humor, done correctly, brings about as much social change as hatred does, and Mr. Noah has talent enough to do that. I’m all for reforming the police. They kill more white people than black people, and frankly, they shouldn’t be killing anyone. I’m simply saying that Mr. Noah has the ability to get people to laugh at how stupid the police are being and bring about social change that way. Goodness knows we need all the ways to bring it about.
The statement that police shouldn’t be killing people, but more of them are white anyway, is simplistic and entirely unhelpful. What I mentioned above was the lack of consequence for the perpetrators of these killings when the person killed is black. That’s pretty indisputable. There are very very few indictments and as yet no convictions. This clearly projects to the people affected that these murders don’t matter to the state.
It would seem that Trevor Noah(and a large number of his writing staff) are of a demographic that is directly impacted by this particular brand of racism. And, correct me if I’m wrong, it would also seem that you are not. Therefore their approach to it and the way it affects them is what matters, and your tone policing of their writing is not.
The Holy Grail example is quite strange to me, as I’m not sure of how Monty Python made direct change to the political climate of the 1960s. Satire has existed for a very long time, and the problems of race relations in the US have persisted. So pivoting to a more direct address of the issues at hand not only makes sense, but also presents itself as quite necessary. Especially in the current political climate.
Lastly, I think John Krasinski has a show of only good news. Perhaps that would better suit your taste.
