I meant to say this by the way Huey is a person who doesn't put up with peoples bullshit but also doesn't complain about how terrible the world around him is while doing nothing to improve upon it I can respect that in a person no matter the politics both in fiction and in real life

Also Huey is fully aware that the black community does more harm to themselves than good a lot of times and it's not just white people.
He's a character who realizes that things reallly need to change rather than whine about it.

Even though everyone talks about how much they love the Boondocks, I think that it is certainly a product of its time, much like King of the Hill. Many of the characters emphasize this, such as Cindy McPherson, the white girl who loved rap culture. At the time of her creation, the idea of a white female hip-hop head was novel, and many people didn’t know what one looked like. Today, it is common, but it looks nothing like Cindy.

The political commentary, sure. But the social commentary with African-Americans FROM an educated African-American is timeless. That's actually sad. In fact, I'd argue it's amplified thanks to social media.

You sit and watch the gags involving Black people. You'd laugh and say: "Yep, that's how we act." Then, when you get older, it hits you: "Damn, that's REALLY how we act?" It does not even give the White man a pass, Ed Wuncler is a perfect example. It doesn't shy away from Black people lacking agency or responsibility for their OWN actions.

There's an underlying motif with the Katrina episode beyond the government abandoning its citizens during a national disaster.

I liked the “there’s no pork on it?” question. Toned down Huey is nice since you can make all of the implications about his character without forcing the joke. Clearly a reference to Islam and his connection to Malcolm X.

I really like the DuBois. The wife not being a generic anime character in looks was nice. I liked that it was just Huey (and by extension Riley) looking out for Jasmine as a tiny plot. Very sweet.

Wow they went a bit too accurate with the ugly ass hair, good thing they improved the artstyle.

For the longest time thought the show was a huge exaggeration of black culture, when I found out a lot of the bits and clips were based on real events and niggers were real... it blew my mind lmao.

There are whole compilations on youtube of Boondocks clips vs. the original news stories they came from.
