Realism Forbidden: Must not Portray any Black as Doing Anything Dubious

And we obviously must not mention that blacks do lots of things that are more than dubious -- which is why the prisons are full of them:

"The producer of a sports radio talk show that aired a parody about Denver Nuggets guard Allen Iverson with references to drugs, seeking sex from Mexican women and the shooting of a homeless man has been fired.

The skit, with an Iverson impersonator answering questions on air, had him seeking sex from "Mexican" women on the River Walk and the accidental shooting of a homeless man who was an "illegal alien." "For them to put out something like that is awful," said Iverson, who is black.

Maybe Iverson is as pure as the driven snow but mockery is a central part of humor. Must blacks be treated as in a special class that cannot be joked about? It seems so. Since there is a lot about blacks that is not at all funny -- their frequent raping of white women, for instance -- I would have thought that joking about one of them might in fact be a valuable lightening of the atmosphere. It treats him as "one of the boys", instead of as someone you have to be on your guard against. No hope of that now, of course.
