The Boondocks

It also helps for people to learn to spell. >.>

I did a bit of research on the show before I started watching it, and the creator says the animation style is heavily based on anime. Thoughts on this?

IIRC, the second and third series were actually animated by Madhouse, who (as you should know) are a Japanese animation company.

True story.

Are you wearing a wire?

Anyway, this is my favorite show. Uncle Rufus, Grandad, every character makes the show worth watching over and over again!

has anyone noticed that Huey has never won any battle although he is a good fighter

Isn't this a racist cartoon/comicstrip? It seems to be about blacks living in the housing projects, which is racist because not all blacks are poor or live in the projects. Why focus only on those who do? This seems to just stereotype blacks and perpetuate racist ideas.

Actually you're correct and incorrect. The Boondocks contextualizes stereotypes, racial, and non-racial (gang, rap, or drug related) issues within the black community in a satirical. The main characters don't live in the projects, they live in a nice suburban neighborhood. What's nice is the wide range of issues they cover for folks. Many of these issues aren't just "black" related. I mean, you have Granddad and Uncle Ruckus from the older generation that had to fight for their civil rights. And Uncle Ruckus is a special case too, being that he's racist against blacks even though he is black. Huey and Riley are kids growing up with all the crap of today. Huey is more serious in tends to follow the a more politicial activist's stance, and Riley is all up in the gangsta rap life style. Plus you can't forget about Tom Dubois and his family being that Tom is a successful black man and has an interracial family.

Really if you think about it, The Boondocks is like Doonesbury for black people. Though the show, of which is based on the comic, in some ways falls short of and at times goes beyond what the comic strip can.

I heard there was gonna be a big announcement about The Boondocks being revealed today, and i thought it was gonna be about season 4. But this shocked me a bit:

 

Apparently, they want to make a movie based off Uncle Ruckus. But i guess Sony didn't want to back this idea, so Aaron McGruder (the creator of The Boondocks) made a page on Kickstarter to get the money to make this film. And yes it will star Gary Anthony Williams (the voice of Uncle Ruckus). Here's the Kickstarter page if y'all want to look at it.

Oh and here's a video about some news on season 4:

 

I guess maybe we haven't seen the last of Stinkmeaner.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Oh I can't wait for an Uncle Ruckus film! It's gonna be more racist than Gran Torino.

Riley: Pause! You said something gay, so you've gotta say "no homo," or you're a homo.
Granddad: I'm not saying "no homo." All I said was I'm going to give him everything I've got.
Riley: Pause, Granddad! That is gay, and you've gotta say "no homo." How am I supposed to know you're not a homo, Granddad, if you don't say "no homo."

That's one of the scenes that really got me.

N-moment as well.
