“What’s wrong with Blackface?”: theorizing humor ecologies and Blackface as satire
ABSTRACT In this essay, I analyze the rhetorical implications of removing sitcom episodes containing Blackface from streaming platforms. By situating Blackface performances within what I call their humor ecologies, I attend to the dynamic interplay between comedic reflexivity, racial humor ideology, comic personae, and network influence. I argue that these factors enable audiences to glean meaning from these performances that vary ideologically, and I call into question the value of removing these performances without considering them within their humor ecologies and contexts.
