The oppressed may freely parody the actions of the people in power.
Satire is a creative way of deflating the powerful with ridicule.
Satire, however, is inexcusable if used by the strong against the weak. If white people in general have the upper hand against black people, they may not in good conscience use their power to poke fun at African-Americans. Unfortunately, the emotional impact of the biography was diminished by a shallow and disjointed script that played out as a laundry list of events in the artist's life. But rest assured, it DOES sit on your head, and you WON'T like it. The premise suggests black humor and outrageous possibilities.
