I can answer one case of that - yes, I am fine with Auschwitz jokes and think it's okay when I get the context and it comes from someone I know.
for the case of LaBelle pissing on Stevie Wonder, you'd have to ask her for the why.
there is no general rule that works here.
In general I get the feeling what you call "oppressive jokes" is for some people a way to deal with reality, it is often called sarcasm. - see Doug Stanhope.
Unlike Mayfuckling bashing trangender - and meaning it.
