i saw this for the first time today it was on at 12 pm here we just got Comedy Central in nz. but i didn't think it was that good, lol but i like the fact they had hip hop music in it, i guess its alright as a story, but in terms of being funny i don't find it funny at all. It was an episode where the grand dad got into a fight with some crazy old blind man etc, but they kept talking about "nigger moments" and every time they said the word nigger it just sounded so ugly to me. They showed two black men get into an argument and then they start shooting each other, in a retarded way every shot they fired at each other missed despite them standing right next to each other. the kid said this is a nigger moment, then it showed what would happen if a white and a black man got into an argument and the white man calmly walked away. I swear this show is written by the KKK man. And there was some old ugly black guy saying niggers can't fight for shit or something, and said the best fighters were all white men. i mean come on man this must be secretly written by the kkk lol if not then im sure they're big fans of the show and probably show it to their kids saying "see son? i told you niggers are all retards they even admit it themselves".
Boondocks was created by a BLACK MAN, who is sharing his views on the flaws of black people in today's usual life, media, etc. In the episode you saw ("Granddad's Fight"), it was a view on a common thing we see today. nigga moments: A moment where two logical black men get in a fight over some stupid shit. The Boondocks is kind of like a slap to the whole black community saying "Hey people, this is the truth and this is what we have to stop, or we'll just be proving this about us!" It suppose to make people go "Damn. Well that looked stupid. Should I do that anymore?" but people are just watching it for the humor and not the meaning. The characters are also based on people we see in the community:
Huey: the intellectual revolutionary who no one listens to, and when they don't they get into trouble
Riley: the stereotypical thug
Granddad: the parent who wants more for his children than the ghetto (even if he hates them)
Uncle Ruckus (the ugly one): the self hating black man
Tom: the happy slave
I have to say, the comic was better than the show, but all the same...
