“Saturday Night Live” weekly degrades, demeans and misrepresents the president with predictable skits that surpass good-natured humor. They’ve long ago graduated to character assassination.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if they’d include some skits on the biases of some immigrants and possibly help them understand that part of assimilating into American society is being able to laugh at yourself, rather than going for the jugular?

Or, how about a skit ironically titled “Racism on the Rise,” highlighting that in the past decade, for the first time in all of U. S. history, we had a black president (two terms), two consecutive black attorney generals and have a black Muslim congressman, and others like Maxine Waters, who hasn’t had a sanity hearing despite the fact she recently said Putin attacked Korea. Having never corrected her remark, I guess she stands by it? Time for a congressional hearing?

If the NAACP isn’t racist, would a NAAWP be racist? If The Congressional Black Caucus isn’t racist, could someone launch a Congressional White Caucus, without inspiring an uprising and gaining speedy of 501(c)3 nonprofit status?

Things aren’t what they seem when you start paying attention.
