Random Thought: Has Boondocks Gone Overboard??????

Random thought time y'all:

Did Anyone see Boondocks last night?? Is it just me or does anyone else feel like Aaron McGruder might have gone a little overboard with this last episode? I’m sayin… It was funny… But, at the same time, I could have been crazy offended… The name of the episode was “Stinkmeaner Strikes Back”… For those who missed it: The show plays off the nigga moment … Definition: Nigga moment is where ignorance overwhelms the logic of an otherwise rational negro man…

Watch:

Well, this episode takes that theme from the last episode, when Granddad kills Col. Stinkmeaner in a classic nigga moment. Huey has a dream of Stinkmeaner coming back from hell to get revenge. Granddad says that he was a menace and he sent him to hell like he deserves. Stinkmeaner's spirit later inhabits Tom Dubois' body and goes looking for revenge against Granddad. Dubois’ starts having nigga moments and Stinkmeaner is the cause of it. Eventually, they tie Dubois’ up (who is possessed by Stinkmeaner’s ghost) and call Uncle Ruckus to do the exorcism… LMAO!

Yo, and that is where I felt like they might have went a bit overboard… The exorcism performed by Uncle Ruckus was craaaazzzzzyyy!!!! LMAO… Basically, they had to get “the nigga” (Stinkmeaner), out of “the Blackman” (Dubois’). So, to do that… Ruckus brought his tools… A noose, a whip, a branding iron, police baton, and a job application… LMAO!

Wait… Wait… It gets worst…

The exorcism involved them making him read a book, beating him with the whip, baton, and straight tim stompin' his ass; while screaming “nigga get yo’ black ass out of here!” LMAO!

Watch for yourself:

Now, I understand what McGruder is getting at with all this… I agree… But, c’mon now… LOL… Shouldn’t some things be sacred and only talked about within our community??? Should we really be airing out our dirty laundry for all of America to see???? With all the controversy surrounding the “Read A Book” video; I can’t see how Boondocks flies under the radar… Is it because it is shown on Cartoon Network and not BET (I really wish it was on BET, where it is needed)???

Also, I know a lot of white people probably watch the show… So, do you think they get it? Do they really truly understand the message behind all the, “nigga this and nigga that?” Do they really overstand??? Because the first time a white kid sees a fight at school between two black kids and says some shit like: “Yo, never-mind them, they just having a nigga moment…” LOL… There might be a problem or would it be a problem???? **scratches head**

Either way, it is a great show… With its brilliant use of humor; it brings up some topics that are in need of discussion in our community… But, this episode had me laughing so hard at how offensive this shit could be taken.

Oh… and the Ghostface cameo was awesome!!!! LOL…

Peace,
