Boondocks is an embarrassment. Not just thematically - everything about that show is wrong. Wrong voices, wrong movements when the characters move - just poor quality overall. The strip is much better.

Thematically - it is shocking Warner Bros. green-lighted that show. I have spoken to no one at Cartoon Network who feels comfortable with the subject matter - and these are people who enjoy other Adult Swim programming.

Personally, I don't have issue with the reverse racism of the show. What annoys me is the continual harping of it that here we are, a slighted people, and it's all whitey's fault.

The gang-banger-like kids aren't fun to watch either.

If regarded seriously, this show takes racial equality two steps backward, possibly reinforcing the already present N-word stereotype that plagues America today.
