This seems like a bit, but I actually did check it out:

- Find someone posting about how much they love the Bee, it's great satire, etc.
- Search their timeline for words like "black."
- See what you shall see.

This is completely accurate of the findings in my sample set. https://twitter.com/SimeonTheFool/status/1274923148870328327

(Or, y'know, don't do that if you don't want to waste your time reading a lot of BS whataboutist racist spiels about crime statistics and Chicago, you can guess where it's going)

"But they're *satirizing* racism!"

Buddy, if racists enjoy your satire of racism, you're doing satire wrong.

Or to put it another way:

A good comedian's goal, by definition, is to get everyone to laugh.

If you're not trying to get everyone to laugh, then you're not trying to be a good comedian—Or you're mocking somebody, which is not really a joke.

"But nobody's going to laugh at everything, some people just don't have a sense of humor!"

Look, how about you go watch Abbott and Costello doing "Who's On First," and if you manage to keep a straight face *then* you can come back and tell me nothing can make *everybody* laugh.

This thread has slightly gotten away from me here, so the point is:

(1) The Babylon Bee is racist, as we can tell because racists are its fans.

(2) It's 2020, we can seriously be done with the pathetic attempt to pass racism off as "humor." https://twitter.com/SimeonTheFool/status/1274441294677499905
