I havent really chimed back in because overall I said all I felt I needed to back in the Gay Community thread.
I dont really care what he says on his own time and I dont have to read or hear it but when the "satire" that has been posted is compared to actual satire it shows how confused people really are about what is being done on shows like South Park and All in the Family, etc.
The point is that those shows were challenging societal norms with a specific message and agenda towards changing public perception. They deal and dealt with difficult issues by challenging the public with abrasive characters that were a reflection of stereotypes or archetypes of the past and present.
By becoming those stereotypes and calling it satire in a public forum you've lost the entire depth of meaning behind satire. Nothing that has been posted makes any true attempt to challenge perception in any reasonable way. It is simply a method to goad a reaction out of those around them.
If you want to look at it another way consider this the Carlos Mencia to Dave Chappel. Occasionally funny but mostly just annoying.
