"First, let me be clear: slavery and the myth of white guilt are not too taboo for comedy and, even more so, satire. Absolutely nothing should be. Satire in particular, which differs to comedy in so far as the underlying objective is to expose folly, vice, hypocrisy and human shallowness, is an important tool for generating empathy for the downtrodden, and understanding some of humanity's more shameful and painful tendencies."
"But in Britain, when it comes to satirical depictions of black history and the black experience, the landscape is somewhat barren."
