Read the Unhinged Complaints to the FCC Over SNL Being Mean to Trump and White People
https://gizmodo.com/reads-hundreds-of-demands-that-the-fcc-punish-snl-for-b-1847283682
"White people didn’t pay their hard-earned tax dollars over the past four years so that public servant Michael Che can get away with calling the president a ding-dong. Thankfully, many patriots have told the FCC all about it.
As 360 pages of complaints to the Federal Communication Commission obtained by FOIA requests show, a legion of Saturday Night Live viewers called on federal regulators to step in and censor the Trump insults. Many believe that the late-night comedy program should not call Trump a “bitch,” “cracker,” an anti-Semite, nor a white supremacist. They should not expect to insinuate that the former president possesses a penis of below-average size, nor reference his mouth as Vladimir Putin’s “cock holster” UNLESS IT AND SPECIFICALLY MICHAEL CHE PLAN TO FACE A FEDERAL ASS-WHOOPING. If that’s not on the table, then maybe a lawsuit. Or death.
The forcefully punctuated complaints, first spotted by Motherboard and obtained by governmentattic, can be read in full here.
Before we proceed to the charges, the facts before the jury of television subscribers are these: Saturday Night Live is not taxpayer-funded; NBC is not CNN (a point of confusion); “Weekend Update” is not a real news program; the FCC isn’t affected by consumer boycotts; and even in states with capital punishment, SNL is protected to the right to a free and fair trial."

Repeated the jokes - word for word
And others were upset that they’re supposed to apologize if they use the n-word. Apologies on their behalf:
On Nov 13th 2016 Saturday Night Live aired a part called “ Walking Dead Dave Chappelle’s Show SNL. In this segment the word [N-word] and God Damn was said. I know that SNL is after hours, but I am offended that 1. God’s name was used in vain and 2. That a black person can go say [N-word] and not be criticized, but if a white person says it they are held responsible or made to apologize. I detest this kind of behavior from both black and whites.
Dave Chappell [sic] said the word [N-word] multiple times during his monologue. He was also smoking. Why is he allowed to speak such filth when a white persona would be crucified for the same words and actions? If we r saying the word is evil, it should be evil for all and not just white folks. Smoking should be banned on all network tv
To funny. Wypipo in a tizzy.
So much of the Murkin populace has become ignorant past belief. 
The 'Murkins' just can't help themselves.
Paz.
Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Dubya, even Obama all got all the SNL treatment. Then this fucking asshole somehow gets elected and he has a sad, and can't cope with someone making fun of him.
