i mean think about the black exploitation films and how shocking that was to poor roger ebert. i don't know what he would have said if you had shown him django unchained in 1975. he probably would have thought the exact same thing but by the 20 teens that was normal what had once been, you know, totally outside the box had been sort of corporatized. so that's the other process that unfolds in tandem. and i think that's what makes it hard to break the narratives that we cling to is over time. we even absorbed the ones that we didn't like or that we didn't consider as being mainstream and we forced them into the mainstream, so i'm not sure what's left that you could really shock people with as it recall as it pertains to slavery. but over time i'm sure we would sort of integrate that too. yeah, that that reminds me of a question i was thinking about during your lecture you mentioned those attempts in the 1930s and 40s to bring slavery to the youth market. is there anything like that going on at the moment? is it possible given that recent representations of slavery have been so u

but it wasn't just an american dynamic, even though we can look to will rogers and mark twain before carson. it's also a global reality. you can look back to the ancient egyptians and the romans and they, too, mocked the authorities of the day. it is a key way of perhaps lifting the burdens of daily life. like the gestures or fools of european courts, late night comics have some license to speak truth to power in a way that other political figures would find difficult to do. there is a space of play that allows for the exaggerations to create an environment where you can remind people that you were only kidding if the joke seemed to go too far. but if you look across the 30 years of johnny carson's career, rarely did he go too far for his audience, largely because he knew it so well. societies relish the opportunity to cut political leaders down to size. a joke, even a sharp one, can reduce the arrogance and perhaps the creeping authoritarianism that is at risk in modern, centralized, powerful government with the capacity to build standing armies, the capacity to add a discord domina
