Still would have wanted this for all those saying No Pops or Charlie

Aside from whatever Regina is feeling bc of her son, no reason why this still can’t come back eventually and still be great just with them being teens going into college aged instead of adolescents

If not, I miss Black Dynamite also and there’s always the potential of a new show. Hoping it’s not ten years until another Black Dynamite/Boondocks esque show

lmfao

they left out important characters and just bit chappelle for a lot of episodes

still a very good show

Show is iconic

He out

4 years later

well

Ouuuu I’m watching this after all star game

Has Alicia keys voicing Huey, the art style is more close to the comic strip and this was supposed to be on fox

Animation Domination with Boondocks would have been insane

Thanks for posting this

I say toss her groupie ass out the window and let that hoe stargaze from outside

Damn we dodged a bullet on this one. Probably would’ve been mega ass, especially since the best character died

Don't agree or even see where bro is going with this but what do you think

@Leftside

Aaron would’ve been great if he showed up to work

I'm always nervous when I hear an accent speaking on some nigga s***

I'm actually agreeing a lot with cro. Very interesting outrage about the n word episode, I agree with his take. I think nigga gets used far too loosely and with these integrated spaces. Irl I don't really say nigga around non black people, nor do I intentionally use it when speaking to perceived non black people online.

He put Payroll in it so he gets points for that

Boondocks, like almost all media, is tailored for the white gaze. Albeit, still a blassic (I don't count season 4) but for success everything has to be diluted but his takes are correct. I'm sure those points are what led to Carl and Aaron's disagreements, and also Vlad

You know this a really well made video and I think he makes some great points. I’ll need to rewatch some of the episodes he highlights but I can say for sure that the politics of the MLK episode for example are a bit muddy.

I think the video itself is interesting but unless I'm missing the YouTubers point (only seen this once), then there's a fundamental misunderstanding of what The Boondocks is trying to achieve with the topic of blackness. He's acting like the show itself isn't aware of the respectability politics and most of all, how it portrays it as a survival tactic and not necessarily a means to make "whitey comfortable." He definitely made some interesting points with the MLK episode but I mostly found the video to be in bad faith, and the fact that he glosses over the character of Tom shows you how much his argument falls apart once you really start to question it.

@SOLARIS

fair enough.

im rewatching some episodes today under this lens and see what I think.

what did you think about what he said about Huey in The S Word episode?

what does aaron mcgruder even do these days man
