Watching right now too?

The Boondocks has many views on racism. This episode is a good example as the black guy is a racist against black people. The poin tof hte show is that it all is getting to crazy between races, or at least what it says to me.

I could never see the Boondocks becoming like that.. the views in it are way to deep for it to end in that way. I just couldn't see it happening.

I think it does. Like the fact that most would assume he is a black person, and if theyfound out he was white, they might consider him racist. Which defeats the whole point of his comic.

"Aaron McGruder" at least doesn't seem to be white though maybe he's like a caramel twinky and sheds his skin now and again or something.

No, it doesn't make you a racists. As long as you understand that it is entertainment, and not all black people act like that. I love that show, it cracks me up. It occassionaly has some good messages in it.

I'm also confident that it's going to degenerate into the black comedy shows they so fondly make fun of.

There's no escaping white supremacy.


Don't listen to meeko, his words are tainted by him being comfortable with being a racist, being prejudice and thinking it is ok to continue to be ignorant.

the fact that your head is instantly filled with the very IDEA of racism at any notion of the 'making-funny' of somthing having to do with ethnicity; yes makes you a racist.

big problem in this country.

Watching the Boondocks makes you less of a racist and more of a race traitor.

We shouldn't judge people by the color of their skin.

We should judge them by how white their teeth look when they smile in the dark.

Referee call for a cite!

I remember the strip debuting in the Tribune some seven years back and an article or two about Mr. McGruder who was, indeed, African-American.

You know, every time I see the phrase "African-American" any more, I think about Dubya referring to Nelson Mandela as "a great African-American". It still cracks me up.

really? that's so interesting, with your attitude of utter ignorance and lack of understanding of a people and their culture, I'd have thought you were an American.
