(O: Well, …you’re obviously a cracker. :O)
.. Funny thing is ..I can cop to a similar feeling ..But then I, too, am a cracker.
If not at least used in proper proverbial context, then `for parody’s sake` some.
(As long as the ashen dissection of 3E’s social sciences project don’t legislate us into extinction before we have time to evolve OURSELVES into “human’s humans”) I think we’re in the middle part of coming around to seeing people as people. Individuals, not for reasons o skin tone or sexual bone, just one in seven billion successful births ooh. Savvy?
In the middle part of coming around the people who endured a hundred years of sundry discrimination (U name the ill-treatment) get ..to make fun of Caucasians in comedy bits. A Lakota was heard doing it in one comedy bit too. & one morning some cows kinda did it to a pal & me, but I had been up all night at the time & it was North Carolina redclay summer hot on the blacktop & grass meadows beneath tree forestry, BG..
I’m feelin’ ya, dog. …But I kinda don’t mind the transition. Graffiti on this one expanse o wall was graffiti..or a mural that spoke history and celebrates the sea & its descendents. Which gives me a good feeling and so me, personally, I’d rather see it when we drive by. How many cultures ‘ve moved color upon this curvature of rock wall canvas landscape?
If most of us (well, the generation just before mine) would have paid attention to Lenny Bruce back when stand-up was recorded in black & white, we’d ALL be ribbing on each other out loud for fun and irony and nobody would have their feelings hurt; class bigotry would be clichéd. Considered an A-moronic waste of time. Cultural bigotry is essentially class bigotry. It finds its basis in one form of inferiority stomplex or another, does it not? But, NO, tight-assed saltines & the courts scene, …deep devastating frustration towards “da man,” and the needle & the damage done, killed-off Lenny Bruce before he had time to wean us of our doubts & fears of strangely dressed people, odd languages, eerie quirks, dark-skinned sisters & brothers living where they are here on earth because of mirth or birth. ...By birth more than the past hundred years....
But he sent out a ripple,
Uncle Lenny, & the point
he (and others) tried to
make about the quakes
& quarks of sad contact
is just barely beginning to
affect the tides of cosmic
socialization station, We.
So just laugh. It’s probably not reverse-bigotry. Maybe recompense. Even though it was our great, grate, grandpa that earned the retribution. Unless he came over on a prison ship from the UK by way of Van Diemen’s Land to work as an indentured servant on some of the members of 3E’s project dissection’s great-gratis-grate grandpa’s WVirginian Plantation. Cheapest possible labor worked the longest possible man-hours dailyyy
While new railroad money builds like cinderblock walls’round th’patriarchal sprawl.
My opinion; I cannot even speak for black culture. Even though I have friendships and remember a beloved friend/colleague/mentor/reliever ‘o walked a wise black man's walk. Ex-addict, ex-convict, & one of the most earnest and spiritually chill old men I’ve had any pleasure to be in stable contact with for an epoch. When I drive through one o the more ritzy suburbs of the area, I can usually count on seeing a black family pulled over with a clean-cut white law officer at the driver side window, grillin’ the driver. It’s just the way things are. ..So Black culture has begun to break out. ..& so summary bias has become an acceptable comedy bit. If you are a white comic you could never get away with the same sort o spatial pigeonholing. You’d invite a riot or a Michael Richards moment maybe, or you’d bust-play to a silent room..and you would absolutely be made into a monster..even if you are one hundred percent humorist bit for humor’s sake alone. Why? ..Why is there Black TV and Hispanic TV and Chris Rock making fun of “crackah’s” lack o’ rhythm or puppy-willingness to go down on they ladies, so comically soulless an’ unmusical verbal cadence, etc., bee-otch? Because we’re in the middle part of coming around as a species.

Stonehenge fascinated descendents of ol’Celtic Druids, Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks,
Atlanteans, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Welts, Aurelius Ambrosious, King Arthur, &.. Merlin
and Mick. & now there’s a barrier around it to protect if from attractive buzzing tourists,
and insure chunky revenues off certifications and permits pulled in triplicate & aforesaid..
