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

- Find someone posting about how much they love the Bee, it& #39;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">https://twitter.com/SimeonThe...
(Or, y& #39;know, don& #39;t do that if you don& #39;t want to waste your time reading a lot of BS whataboutist racist spiels about crime statistics and Chicago, you can guess where it& #39;s going)
"But they& #39;re *satirizing* racism!"

Buddy, if racists enjoy your satire of racism, you& #39;re doing satire wrong.
Or to put it another way:

A good comedian& #39;s goal, by definition, is to get everyone to laugh.

If you& #39;re not trying to get everyone to laugh, then you& #39;re not trying to be a good comedian—Or you& #39;re mocking somebody, which is not really a joke.

"But nobody& #39;s going to laugh at everything, some people just don& #39;t have a sense of humor!"

Look, how about you go watch Abbott and Costello doing "Who& #39;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& #39;s 2020, we can seriously be done with the pathetic attempt to pass racism off as "humor." https://twitter.com/SimeonTheFool/status/1274441294677499905">https://twitter.com/SimeonThe...
