That old man in Boondocks is the wisest one and does have some sense. He's protrayed as being at peace with himself whereas that main character is perpetually angry and unhappy.

Reminds me a bit of the "banned" movie Song of the South. It is banned, allegedly, because it shows a happy slave.

But the slave is happy, not because he is a slave, but because he has his own inner strength. The white parents in that movie are portrayed as shallow people. The scene where the wise, friendly, old slave has to be subservient to the stiff-as-a-board, narrow-minded parents does not come across as portraying a good thing. The children learn a great deal of life lessons from the slave, and are quite distant from their parents.

I have no idea how the critics can see what they see in Song of the South.

In another example of how weird this is, take the mascot of Ole Miss. They want rid of the stereotypical "Colonel Reb" mascot because it supposedly honors the old aging Confederate soldier. But at the same time, it is considered offensive to Native Americans to be portrayed in the same way. It can't be both ways....is it an honor to be on a football helmet? or is it offensive to be on a football helmet? Apparently it IS both.

This political correctness is hard to figure out on your own since it is not internally consistent with itself. Thats why we need the elites to tell us what is politically correct and what is not.

Sounds about right... you make good points. Would love to see the movie Song of the South one day but I doubt I ever will have that privilege.

I have learned that God does not heal the body nor does He strike down your personal foes in this world... but He can heal your soul if you ask Him to, and give you that "inner strength". He didn't heal me... but He took away my bitterness and hate, and that's 1000 times more of a miracle.

Uncle Remus in The Song of the South is not a slave. At one point he up and leaves the plantation where he works. The story is set in the post-war era.
