If South Park had existed in the 1960s

I could imagine that brilliant 60s episode already. Desegregation is tested on south park elementary, and the school is clearly forced by Matt and Trey to appear like a chaotic mess; during recess there are several racial confrontations, and There are some made-to-portray feminist-bitchy school teachers in the corner ironically commenting to one another in that intentionally obnoxious womanly tone-"isn't it wonderful to see everyone get along side by side" followed by timmy getting in a cripple fight with an African-American version of Timmy.

It turns out that Martin Luther King is actually an evil alien from outer space DISGUISED as a black civil rights activist who advocates desegregation in order to witness the human race tear itself apart through violent racial confrontations.

Throughout the episode, Kyle and Stan befriend a black kid whose in the middle of all this and we see him experiencing the ruckus first hand. The episode closes with the black kid telling everyone to shut up in a loud school board conference debate with the usual "LISTEN, I think xxxx is wrong for hating on my people, but enough already! I don't want this either- etc. etc." with choked up piano music playing. Everybody tears up and oh fuck.
I still generally like the show, but the political views Parker and Stone espouse through it are just idiotic.
