Here is a great comic strip. With all the guns in school, racial profiling posts and most recent post from T-Shirt Hell it's made me think of how we can use humor to get our point across with a very serious subject.What's difficult is that in order to be funny you have to use stereotypes that are obviously racist to begin with anyway, and one population will always be the butt of a joke. So where do we draw the line?
I don't know. But what I do know is that some things are funny (when we agree) and we need to remain sensitive (as much as possible) so as not to offend a particular person. But with that, some things are pretty funny, (Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle) especially if we're poking at systematic issues were always fighting, like racial profiling in our so called "public safety" structure.
Which is why I thought this comic was great. The K Chronicles are hilarious. It's political sattire at it's best. Somehow when we say political sattire it makes it a little better. Anyway, have some fun and check out the K Chronicles.
