70/80’s were a period of time right after the civil rights movement, so they had to acknowledge racism existence as material. 90/00’s try and pretend that they live in a post racial landscape while the world still very structurally racist (I mean look at Clinton and the crime bill for the quintessential example).
If you were closer to the civil rights movement you had to engage with the fact that racism was real, and mockery contempt, absurdist, reductionist approaches work well for that
