Remember when we could laugh with each other because of our differences instead of at each other? Archie Bunker was so disrespectful but ultimately, the joke was on him, so it wasn't really offensive. Same with Fred Sanford and George Jefferson. The best way to handle bigotry is to laugh at it. Now, if somebody says that stuff, it's immediately shot down as being too racist to laugh at.

Can you imagine Mel Brooks making 'Blazing Saddles' in 2015?
