The Boondocks is a terrible terrible cartoon/show. The use of the word "nigger" is just plain disrespectful. It uses the word in the context of pertaining to black people.

The excessive use of the word on a cartoon network watched by young kids is just evil. Just because it comes on at 10pm CST doesn't mean young kids are not watching it. It's on their favorite network, of course they're going to watch it. Adults think that network is "safe" for their kids.

Aaron Mcgruder did a complete 180 on this cartoon versus his comic strip. There was no overuse of the word Nigger/Nigga in the strip, but in the cartoon he's pimping it like Bishop Don Juan. He has to be the Uncle tom coon of the year for this. This use of the word Nigger doesn't prove anything except that it's okay to use the word that represents the degradation of a people. He should be ashamed of his damn self as a man.

Cats getting blinded to the message cuz they suspicious of the messenger, but Rev Al is right. If ya'll knew how many black people got their ass kicked right after hearing that word, then maybe you would see it for what it is. If you somehow think it's cool or "real" to use the word, then you're only fooling yourself.

The word has hurt a lot of people we love called parents and grandparents. Those people are still around, and are still offended at the use of that word. And it probably pains them to hear a bunch of young punks try to make the word "cool".

Aaron McGruder is a real sellout. I guess he thinks it makes his little cartoon "real". The Boondocks comic strip is a good political satire comic strip. The Boondocks cartoon is a bunch of embarrassing bullshit.
