Sorry Johnny, but I am unable to comment on this post.
You see I am white and anything I say would be construed to be either kissing the butts of my fellow black man, or deemed to be bigoted.
I'm certain you will understand.

He does have one point. King would be shouted over in these times. The race hustlers he warned of have taken over.

McGruder was born in Chicago and raised in the middle class environs of Columbia, Maryland, where his father works for the National Transportation Safety Board,What a surprise. He came from a middle-class background - hardly oppressed.

OMG! I've glanced at that cartoon while doing the crossword and thought it to be inanely political, but I had no idea!
To: johnny7
I've got to admit it, I started watching this cartoon the other week and it does have it moments. Like South Park it bashes everybody and every side.

The comic strip is a waste, but the cartoon TV show is hilarious.
I saw the episode and I think he was spot on.
What would MLK, who died in an effort to uplift the entire country, think of what passes for today's "black" culture? The show captured it perfectly.

I don't usually read Boondocks... but I admire his cartoon style. He's very good.

McGrath perceptively wrote that the Huey Freeman character shows an unnatural familiarity with the precepts of socialist black nationalism. McGruder contends the strip is not autobiographical but, as he flippantly explained to Greg Braxton of the Los Angeles Times Magazine, an effort to make radical politics cute.I don't know. I'll stick to ESPN and the History Channel.

In other news, mobs of angry blacks did not riot throughout the country demanding the beheading of the cartoonist.

Help!
Help!
Help, I'm white and I can't get down.
God two left feet stuck on the ground.
That's from the Geezinslaw Brothers.

I know what you mean too.
Were I black, I'd be uppity as hell.
Not at the whites so much, (that's understandable) but at the so called black leaders.
Growing up and being half Italian (Mom) and half Polish, (Dad) I have been called enough guinea, whop, daego, or stupid pollock, to last me a lifetime ... and all by my white bretheren. ;)

Correct me if I am wrong but the "white race" is the only race in the world where there are laws you cannot hire them.

He's guilty because he wasn't "oppressed."
Some people live to be insulted and offended.

I've got to admit it, I started watching this cartoon the other week and it does have it moments. Like South Park it bashes everybody and every side. Other than Fox News, I watch these shows - 24, My name is Earl, South Park (sometimes) and recently, Boondocks. Nice to know I'm not the only freeper with unusual taste...

Hey ... I'm not complaining!
Come to think of it ... you are so right.
When I was about 7 years old my dear Mother went to the hospital for a week. My Dad made baked beans (heated them) and we ate beans for the entire week!
I asked Dad, about the fourth day, why we were eating beans every night. He said ... "Because they are good for you".
My Dad is gone now, but we laughed about that for years.
Thanks, I've gotta go now. My eyes are blurry.
