No one likes racism. Not even the racists like it. Racism is so offensive to the American ear that talking about race is considered "racism" nowadays.
The corollary is that one cannot even begin to think about criticizing Israeli war crimes, apartheid-racism, and PM Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption cases without being falsely charged with "anti-semitism."
Israeli officials want CIA-groomed Netanyahu charged with corruption even as he goes about killing Palestinians, selling weapons, and giving the thumbs up to atrocities while garnering US support.
Because race is such a touchy subject in modern America (at least in the USA if not all of America, which is a continent not a country) that we would rather honor just a few American greats in comedy.
There are many more. Any oppressed group is going to naturally give rise to great comedians, rebels, artists, iconoclasts, academics, and heroines/heroes like civil rights champion Rosa Parks:
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (Feb. 4, 1913-Oct. 24, 2005) was an activist in the Civil Rights Movement, whom the United States Congress called "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement."
On Dec. 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused [in a planned civil disobedience action] to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white man, after the "whites-only section" filled up.
Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation. Others had taken similar steps, including:

Civil Rights Heroine Rosa Parks |
On Dec. 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused [in a planned civil disobedience action] to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white man, after the "whites-only section" filled up.
Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation. Others had taken similar steps, including:
- Bayard Rustin in 1942
- Irene Morgan in 1946
- Lillie Mae Bradford in 1951
- Sarah Louise Keys in 1952
- and the members of the ultimately successful Browder v. Gayle 1956 lawsuit (Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith) who were arrested in Montgomery for not giving up their bus seats months before Parks.
Rosa Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery Bus Boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation.
She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including Edgar Nixon, president of the local chapter of the NAACP and Martin Luther King, Jr., a new minister in town who gained national prominence in the civil rights movement. More
