Well no shit. But it did happen, and there's plenty of proof that 'jokes' contributed to the culture that made genocide possible

> A joke about "niggaz in da hood" by a white person is very inappropriate and insensitive, but it's not the same as some joke where the punchline is that "niggaz too lazy to work" or whatnot

You really don't think that the first desensitizes some to the point that they think the 2nd is acceptable?? This is what the pyramid is about.

> This is essentially the same argument as {comics,music,TV,films,games} causes {Satanism,murder,drug use,what-have-you}.

No it's not.

No, why should it? It seems to me that the difference is extremely clear for everyone. Is there any good argument beyond "but it obviously does!" – or even better, research – which demonstrates that it does?

You are just refuting what I'm saying without any actual arguments.
