At the risk of repeating myself, The Boondocks is fucking awesome.<\/p>\n


\nAaron McGruder<\/a> is one critical dude. In itself, that’s not a big deal. What makes it big is that he’s very critical, very openly of black people. Don’t worry though, it’s not like he’s in the Klan or anything.<\/p>\n

You see, he’s black too.<\/b><\/p>\n

And he seems very, very upset with the state of his people. Actually, he’s been this way for quite some time.<\/p>\n

But if the last episode (season 1, episode 9) of The Boondocks is any indication, he’s mightily pissed.<\/b><\/p>\n

The premise of that episode is that Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn’t killed when he got shot. He just went into a coma for 30 years. The episode is a “what if” on how MLK might react to the state of the people he worked so hard towards equality for. The result? He’s not happy. Not happy at all.<\/p>\n

I won’t give away what MLK says, but it sure isn’t “I have a dream.”<\/b><\/p>\n

(Yes, I know it’s just McGruder’s idea of what MLK might say in that situation, but it’s so well done that you really want to believe it.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
