I Tried to Be a Communist
One Thursday night I received an invitation from a group of white boys I had known when I was working in the post office to meet in one of Chicago’s South Side hotels and argue the state of the world. About ten of us gathered, and ate salami sandwiches, drank beer, and talked. I was amazed to discover that many of them had joined the Communist Party. I challenged them by reciting the antics of the Negro Communists I had seen in the parks, and I was told that those antics were all right.

Laugh Riots - The New Yorker
One day last March, on the stage of a theatre in central Paris, a light-skinned black man named Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala sat with his hands clasped over his knees. Next to him, smiling into the lights, was Jany Le Pen, the wife of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right and xenophobic party, the National Front. Dieudonné (he is known only by his first name) is one of France’s most successful comedians—once viewed as something of a cross between Lenny Bruce and Sacha Baron Cohen.
