Totally black eyes with double white pupils. Blood has backed up in his eyeballs because he wears a shirt & tie all the time, even when he's sleeping. If he ever turns upside down, that's going to be one messy episode.

Watching AS on Sundays now is more like watching the "Racsim is funny hour.". And I already get that when I watch the Lawerence Welk show.

God...after seeing that show, I must declare it's really a waste of animation. And Adam West? Why the fuck was he on the show?! Was it to get me to watch...what? Waste of voice talent too...

Why is it that the kids look like white kids painted black?

I still haven't seen this show but from the reaction and the previews I'm guessing CN has missed their target demographic of white college students who are members of the protocultre.

Racism just isn't funny when you make an entire show out of it. Small doses. Small doses.

Because one of their parents was actually white and their Grand-dad never told them... This becomes a startling revelation as they both find guns in their mouths one cold and lonely Christmas Eve as they declare they were both living a lie.

I don't know, Mind of Mencia is pretty funny... Then again, Mind of Mencia likes to make fun of EVERYONE...you don't feel alienated watching it. The Boondocks biggest flaw is that doesn't appeal to a broad audience and there's very little you can relate to if you aren't black and angry.

I watched it the Saturday ep yesterday...all I saw was "nigger" this and "nigger" that. I can go to the local poolhall and hear better from real-life angry, foul-mouthed, and thoroughly black people.

I've only seen one ep of Mind of Mencia, and he got laughs from other stuff besides race jokes. The guy has this goofy, fun personality. Those people in the Boondocks are just pissed off, mean, and grouchy.

That's what I said.

Black people always angry. 99% of the time, it's nothing.

On the one time when a black dude is actually discriminated against, it sets everything back.
