Aaron McGruder = Bill Cosby?

Mcgruder

So this weekend, just in time for the holiday, the Cartoon Network aired a controversial episode of Aaron McGruder's "The Boondocks" in which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. awakens from a coma in 2006 and calls a group of ign'ant black people the dreaded n-word.

via Nah Right, here's a video of him discussing the episode on Nightline:

Admittedly, I've never actually seen the show myself other than the clips featured in this video, nor have I had a chance to check out the comic strip.

Bomani Jones saw it though and... um, wasn't amused. The balding one sayeth:

It seemed like a pointed attack against the underclass instead of a critique of the entirety of post-Movement black America. Just more black bourgeoise bullshit that would make Bill Cosby smile.

Oh no! Also, it's suggested that McGruder might have some self-loathing issues...

Like I said, I'm not too familiar with the dude's work, but this is the first time I've seen the Bill Cosby card being pulled on him. Has anybody else picked up that kind of vibe from him?

First
I watch boondocks all the time and the show does have rather racy topics. This episode was unlike no other. I am not surprised!!!

I never really got into it but attending an HBCU, niggas flocked to it and were hyping it up. I might check it out but the animation seems so japaneese/anime style to me. I don't know but I like John Witherspoon, and believe that if it was too off the wall that he wouldn't want to be associated with it. Granted he was lookin at titties in the "give it to me" video and played Willie Jones in the Fridays trilogy, he still seems like a respected actor. maybe?

>>nor have I had a chance to check out the comic strip.

Drop whatever you're doing and pick up one of the comics. Now. You wont regret it.

The MLK thing could have only been funnier if it had been done on southpark. But then again, I go to klan meetings.

I don't know if I agree with Bomani on this one. For the most part I agree with the statements the Boondocks makes about the sorry state of the black community, and I can't fucking stand boughie black people. I just read Bomani's whole post and he seems to think McGruder is attacking the poor and the 'underclass'. I don't know about you, but I know plenty of ignorant ass black people who act just like the people on that episode were acting and they are far from poor or underclass, they're just plain old ig'nant.

The Boondocks comic/cartoon is utter shit. Id rather be subjected to Family Cirle than that trite.

The Boondocks has negro characters. how revolutionary and edgey.

I got all the episodes BOL holla at me (NMFH).

McGruder is running the risk of being pigeon holed and thats the bottom line. Every quasi group of black folk is expecting something from this new messiah and in the end he is gonna give em exactly what they weren't expecting. The boy has access and much like Chappelle and every other "It Boy" nigga they let in before him he is gonna run with this shit till the networks say hell nah.

Bottom line get ready to hear a whole lot more about the show.

>Also, it's suggested that McGruder might have some self-loathing issues...

Don't these Bleeding Heart Negroes accuse any Black Person who is sick of these Ignorant Ass Niggas (and is willing to say so in mixed company) of having "self-loathing" issues?

He is just stating it how it is... You gotta check out the different episodes.. he basically shows the idiocy in fake gulliness and just showing how ig'nant some bruhs can be.. Riley is the antithesis and is almost TOO revolutionary. The most ironic thing is the most gangsta niggas are the 2 white boys in the show. They are both from rich families and were both soldiers in Iraq but have mad guns and are the most ignorant cats on the show.... Oddly enough, most of the people who would rol their eyes and call them wiggers are the same people that act the same way but somehow feel like they "reserve the right" because of thier color.

But then, I'm a spic, so I dont care.. I'll clean everyone's mess for 1/2 price

I dont know, magn. I got to say, it is very critical of rap, rappers, young black men (nullus), fat, loud black women, and anyone who buys into the black popular culture. And in a media obsessed with these images, there is certainly a place for a homegrown critic of his own culture-but that place is byroncrawford.com, not some japanimation cartoon network show that is followed by Bob the Mayor and 12 oz Mouse.

Every episode seems to take the minority community to task for some observed flaw. Dave Chappelle can do the same thing and be much more funny to everyone, without the self-loathing Uncle Tom undertones. I mean, its a voice or whatever, but its not even that funny so fuck it.

The things we'll do to make a buck. He's your typical DC,MD, NorthernVA wig wearing black dude. His attitude toward shit is the same from what I've seen of the whole area. Just on some pretty boy shit. WTF does waking MLK from a comma have to do with anything, when we all know the man had his brains blasted in Memphis? I was all for him growing up because the cat was young and sucessful, but his message has gotting diluted from excessive money, press, and howard hoes bj's!!

>WTF does waking MLK from a comma have to do with anything, when we all know the man had his brains blasted in Memphis?

Umm...perhaps the point was to show that while Blacks go around praising Dr. King and his "dream," we have strayed pretty far from the message he delivered. I don't know. Just a thought.

>But then, I'm a spic, so I dont care.. I'll clean everyone's mess for 1/2 price.

That was laugh out loud funny.

while i am ambivaleent over some of the shows content...i thought the MLK piece was right on....
MAcGruder = Bill cosby...hell naw.

macgruder is a revolutionary and the show is a SATIRE. it takes some intelligence to pick up on the subtleties. At the same time ignorant asses can watch the show and be thoroughly amused and miss everything AM is trying to say (hence my ambivalence).

Yeah, right!! Everytime somebody black gets on tv and utters the word "nigga" you fucking black lemmings suck it up and say its fucking revolutionary. Nigga on comedy central, nigga on def jam, nigga on cartoons. GTFOH with that bullshit. Macgruder would walk off a fucking cliff and you clowns would be right beside him holding his dick.

BOOTY BUTT, BOOTY BUTT, BOOTY BUTT CHEEKS!!

>Don't these Bleeding Heart Negroes accuse any Black Person who is sick of these Ignorant Ass Niggas (and is willing to say so in mixed company) of having "self-loathing" issues?

Here I cum, bitches!!!

Hey Tricks, why do white ho's love sucking on "ingnorant ass" dicks so much.

Just asking....

If The Boondocks was actually funny, it might have garnered less people crying injustice (see Dave Chapelle for example)

>Umm...perhaps the point was to show that while Blacks go around praising Dr. King and his "dream," we have strayed pretty far from the message he delivered. I don't know. Just a thought.

exactly. we haven't even come close to "the dream".
he's always been edgy and controvesial. the purpose of satire is to make you think. yall know we've never heard dr. king utter those words on tape. it's suppose to shock and awe the viewer. i liked it.

Aaron McGruder is only like Bill Cosby in that he could give half of a fuck of what anybody thinks. The show is great and its mainly for an intelligent audience, his message doesn't berate the lower class specifically because the characters in the show are from the lower class. I think that black people need to get over this accusing everyone that says the word nigga. Theres alot of other shit we need to worry about moreso than a damn word and if the word is all anyone heard after the end of the episode then we as black people are truly fucked.

EPISODE 11

MLK karaoke raps...
the infamous lyrics from Gangstalicious...
"I Got Shot!"

At first, I really liked Bookdocks and I understood what he was trying to say. But after the MLK episode I started to realize what his opposers were saying. True, he does "tell it like it is". But from whose point of view? The show makes it appear as if he's sayin ya'll and not us. I know not all black people are one way or the other, but if you're gonna choose a side, as it appears he has, then leave the n-word on the other side too. Honestly I do think he's on some Cosby type shit. And, he can't be compared to Chappelle, that show was just different, it definitely put race issues in our faces but it didn't do so gratuitously like the Boondocks. I feel like a hypocrite for laughin at that shit, ya know, its like laughin at a hadicapped person, its funny, but its not right. Thats how I feel about the Bookdocks, except its black people so I take it to heart.


Disclaimer: This diatribe is not intended to insult all white people, just the dumb ass mother fuckers that buy into stereotypes and all the self delusional blacks, like McGruder, that think they're OK, but their black neighbor isn't. OK?

Tricks, if you're black, I mean, really black; then are you saying that all you know is ign'ant ass negro's? If so, what depraved, impoverished ghetto do you live in or near? Are the schools fucked up? I'm a little old school and had absolutely NO problem learning to read. What has happened to the schools since my time? Everyone I grew up with reads and writes superbly. I write my ass off with no advanced education in those areas. Everyone I know does. This myth about a preDOMINANCE of ignorant blacks is just that...a myth. Where I grew up, the community produced people like Adrian Dantley, NBA hall of famer. It produced James Brown the FOX sports caster, who is a friend of our family and I know personally, and who graduated from Harvard. It produced Dave Chappelle. It produced Sugar Ray Leonard, who I also know personally. Genuwine, the singer, graduated from the same High school I went to. Austin Carr, old school NBA player dated my sister back in the day. Roberta Flack, legendary singer, Sharmba Mitchell, world class pro boxer, and you know tons of other, famous, professionals came from the DC area, despite what you hear about DC crime. If you were to believe stereotypes, then no black people would escape from DC now, would they? We'd all be illiterate, drugged out, incarcerated, animals. RIGHT? Well, why aren't we? Because that bullshit isn't true for the majority of black people. Maybe you're talking about the crack generation. Yeah, maybe that's it.

Another point you may not realize. Lead. That's right, lead, pronounced 'led'. Lead is a substance you've heard of. Lead in paint, lead in pipes, lead in candy. If high levels of lead get into the bloodstream of children, it has been scientifically proven that it will affect, seriously, their ability to learn and process information. There are some communities that were built with lead pipes in the past, which have been outlawed, supposedly. There used to be lead based paints that would turn dusty with age and spew lead, dust particles into the atmosphere where small children would ingest them. There is also small amounts of lead in candy. That's right, candy. Now, who would do this? The dangers of lead poisoning has been known for centuries. Why is/was there so much lead paint used in houses in poorer neighborhoods? Who can tell me if the candy shipped into certain communities has more or less lead than candies shipped in to white, more affluent communities? Can you tell me if all the lead pipes installed in communities have been retrofitted or removed? Then, if you think that certain people are "dumb", then could it always be that they're lazy, don't apply themselves, or are genetically inferior? Lead is a mother fucker and does not discriminate. Lead was in the liquor the government pushed on the indigenous Indians that suffer from generational alcoholism on the reservations throughout America. They've had a history of educational problems and alcohol problems that have been documented as genetic. Just thought I'd hit you with that aspect of bad government, bad science, and bad intentions.

If you took the 34 million blacks in this country, then took the 230 million whites in this country and gave them an aptitude test, I'm willing to bet you that there would be more whites that fail than blacks because, out of 230 million whites, there are simply more that are uneducated or under educated by sheer numbers. You must be smoking Angel Dust to think that all 230 million whites are educated, just like you must be smoking sherms to think that all black people are ignorant, dumb, and lost. Now, white people are an example of mass ignorance to me, and I'm not trying to slam you but if you profess to be intelligent, then how can the hatred for other races that are struggling under the weight of heavy government policies, be amusing to you? The term ignorant doesn't necessarily equate to intelligence anyway. It's derived from ignore. Meaning that one chooses to ignore certain truths, certain constants, certain facts. Now, if someone told you it was pooring down raining and you should take an umbrella, and you looked at them as though they were stupid and walked right out into the deluge and got soaked... then you're fucking ignorant. You could have a masters degree and be ignorant. People that voted for George Bush are ignorant. People that believe in gross, mass stereotypes are ignorant. And furthermore, people that believe there isn't a larger agenda when the media jumps on stories that bolster opinions like Bill Cosby and cartoons from McGruder... Now, those mother fuckers are truly ignorant. Are you ignorant?

Sure there are pockets of miseducated or under educated people of all races. Have you seen those poor "crackers" in the meth belt of America. Jesus, Lord!! Not only are they uneducated, they're dyslexic, anorexic, suicidal, homicidal, you fucking name it. And, there's way more of them than the 34 million blacks in this country.

So, why is it always on blast, mainstream about the shortcomings of black people, when there are far more dysfunctional white people in the country? I'll tell you why. The media (Jews and Anglo's) have a vested interest in perpetuating the stereotype. The black race has always been used like some sort of homegrown al Qaida. If the powers that be can continue to sell the black race as a major threat, then they can advance a sort of police state mentality to sell to fearful whites. That means huge money for prisons and police enforcement budgets. So, it's a game of perception. And "tough on crime" means tough on black people. That translates to big votes for white politicians. Without the "fear of a black planet" you couldn't pull any of this shit off. So, black criminals are cultivated from fucked up, desperate conditions that have existed for years and are tweaked with the influx of endless amounts of illegal drugs and a lack of adequate education. It doesn't take a whole lot to figure that out, but it takes a powerful ignorance to ignore it.

If employment is stifled, and training is stifled for young blacks, or their educational opportunities are limited, then the powers that be can calculate that there will be desperate, under educated blacks out there that lack skills and training. And not just blacks are caught up, but that's what the powerful, mind bending media focuses on. That's what they want to feed you because American politicians need a bogeyman that is dark, and scary, right? How else to you benefit the prison, industrial, complex? Penitentiaries are huge businesses in this country. Who's going to fill the prisons if people get adequate education and training? Without an insatiable thirst for illegal drugs in the country (predominately by white people by sheer numbers alone), then how do you justify a " WAR ON DRUGS", which, ironically, primarily targets people of color. And, if the powers that be can somehow convince the corporate world that blacks, ALL blacks, are a bad risk for hiring, then ALL blacks will have this perception cloud hanging over their heads. I've taken tests for various technical jobs and though I've scored 100% on many of those tests, even when no one had done so before (in one case), I wasn't even considered for the position(s). My take on that is that the companies just didn't want a black man for that position, even if he proved he was qualified. And with a plethora of negative images being strobe lighted on TV, then what does it matter to that corporation if I passed their "monkey" test. I'm prolly a criminal too, right? Or, I will be, right? Oh, and for the record, I'm not an "uppity negro", I just happen to find it easy to use my brain and I don't kiss anyone's ass (nullus). That's uppity to a fucktard that thinks you're supposed to believe the myth that a black man is supposed to submit to a white mans will. Mother fuck that shit.

As far as Martin Luther King's attempt to be a sort of pied piper fighting against social and civil injustice, he represented a major threat to the corrupt status quo since he was able to galvanize all races, not just blacks, in standing up for their civil liberties. The Nazi's don't want that here in America. If any serious person out here in the blogosphere was to even know how the CIA and FBI went to elaborate measures to, not only discredit MLK Jr.'s message, but to actually plot to destroy him through so many other means, including poisoning him physically; you'd see why it's so important for them to destroy any image the black man has - to this day. They wire tapped him like a terrorist. After all, they did assassinate MLK, but why? He was extremely dangerous because he and Malcolm were waking people up to the falsehoods and the costs in human life and in taxpayer's money of the Viet Nam war, a war much like the Iraq war in that it was falsely created to enrich the pockets of defense corporations and unscrupulous, murderous politicians. It wasn't about communism, just like Iraq isn't about terrorism. Now, why don't we have these discussions about how fucking stupid white people are to continually fall for the governments schemes? What's more important? Is it how white people love casting all black people into the animalistic, uncivilized, criminal category as an insult to MLK's dream (which is bullshit for all blacks that have degrees or have "made it" in this country, and there are millions), or is it the fact that your fucking government is driving 90 mph, the wrong way, down a one lane highway called world war 3, with your dumb asses in the back seat listening to your iPOD and playing with your playstation? While you're pointing your finger at black folk through other black folk and feeling all superior, you're heading right into oncoming traffic, fools.

If you took a member of the skinheads or KKK and changed is look to a black man, then you'd have McGruder. (This knuckleheads name is Irish, how black is that?).

Point is that white people love when a black man berates the entire black race. That absolves them of any guilt feelings when casting all black people into the same pot. But, it makes no difference when a black person tries to enlighten white people who are predisposed to want to cast all black people as ignorant and uneducated.

>>and I can't fucking stand boughie black people

I do believe you were referring to the term "bourgeoisie". Funny you can't stand people that can spell the word you're calling them, and you can't. That's not ignorant, that's just dumb.

And that's my point. Damned if you are smart, and damned if you aren't. White people tend to think with an eccentric mindset. They simply won't accept that there's any black person out there that is credible. White's will berate Jay Z, who is obviously an intelligent business man that has achieved success that none of these white bloggers will ever be able to match, yet, hear them tell it; he's just another "shitskin". How can you reason with that mindset? More telling, to me, is that a so called "shitskin" is more successful than tons of "superior, delusional crackers". How can that be, according to their logic? And, what does that make that "cracker", if they can't do as well as a so called "shitskin"?

Truth is that there not enough conscious, black brothers and sisters on this site that will even stand up to this attack on our worth as a people. You have a meth epidemic sweeping through middle America. Just like the crack epidemic swept through the inner cities in the 80's. If anybody doesn't think that epidemic had an effect on the development of black people, they have a hole in their heads. And, before all the "crackers" that frequent this site spit that same old bullshit we've all heard a million times, and you know who you are, crack and cocaine share the same alkaloid properties as sugar cane, meaning it's highly addictive the first time you try it because the chemical composition is already present in the brain. Anybody, any race, that ingests it, will have the propensity to become an addict. But the meth epidemic is wreaking havoc on white people the same way that crack did to black people. So, it's not a matter of the genetic make up of a race, it's the chemicals that Americans are being exposed to that has a huge part to play in the dumbing down. Put the drugs and the broken schools together and you have a combination for mass destruction of American productivity and education. Who's to blame? Government. Who let's all these drugs in while they can stop Cuban cigars from entering? The Government. Who leaves the borders wide open while at the same time shaking American citizens down, through fear tactics about terrorism? You know fucking who.

It's not coincidence that Dave Chappelle would get $50 million to continue to denegrate the images of black people. J J from Good Times didn't make that kind of bread, but his step and fetch it image was eaten up by white folk. They just loved it. Look at that coon "nigger"!! Whitey always has to have that. Remember, "and I can't fucking stand boughie black people", as one post here states. Naw, white "crackers" don't like Denzell. He's not ignorant enough for them. Yeah, I know Denzell one an oscar, but it was a long effing time coming. They love if Bill Cosby denegrates the black parents for having illiterate children, but Million Dollar Bill neglects to mention how poor, single parents with poverty level incomes are supposed to come home from working two jobs and then home school their kids because the schools they attend have been reduced to no more than dangerous, day care facilities, especially when, in the past 20 years, the schools these parents attended were sub par and no more than day care centers too. Also, has anybody priced a four year education at college recently? But trillions are wasted on Iraq over the past 16 years and trillions go to prop up Israel. This is no mistake in dumbing down the schools. How else do you erode the progress blacks have made since slavery. Incidentally, slaves were prohibited from learning to read. Sound familiar? Sound familiar that illegal immigrants that also can't read and write english are being allowed to flood this country? It's deeper than your small minds are willing to comprehend, evidently. And did you know that any kid of any color that doesn't get a decent breakfast before going to school is unable to learn properly because of the lack of nutrients to the brain? Add a little lead to their bloodstream for good measure. Now we got them!! Leave no child behind, right? Now, I know what they mean. And our government cut's those programs but spends trillions for fake wars? Are you dumb enough to fall for those schemes? Blame that on black people too, McGruder. MLK was shot because he would've organized people to shine the spotlight of truth on things like that. No. The dream isn't dead. The dream has been under constant attack ever since the dreamer was assassinated. Word!!

Cosby comments, McGruder cartoons, even Chappelle skits, serve a greater, negative agenda. But they're funny, right? Hell, to some people, watching homeless people get beat to death with baseball bats is funny. That doesn't make it right. I've noticed that so called "high browed" white people find Blue Collar Comedy offensive. You know, Larry the Cable Guy.... Get R Done? These white people so want to distance themselves from white, hillbilly trash. But what would be the response towards a white comedian or many of them if they perpetually depicted ALL whites as hillbilly trash, uncultured, uneducated, violent, meth freaks, pedophiles, cannibals, mass murderers, etc. Do you think that whites would just accept those depictions? Well, they don't have to because the media is rich with depictions of whites being superhuman. Whites solve all the crimes. Whites are the saviors of the world and the entire fucking universe, according to movies, TV, magazines, and newspapers and novels. Not so in the black community.

Though better images of blacks are now at the forefront in popular culture, someone be it Jew or Anglo is always countering those images with your typical, negative, drug dealing, ho slapping, gun toting, step and fetchit, ebonics speaking, butt clapping, vulgar images of blacks. Now, before you say it's black producers advancing those images, you best believe there is a Jew or an Anglo in the business plan who won't accept a product if it doesn't contain "certain elements". It's not going to sell unless it contains "certain elements". The devil is in the entertainment business, right? I thought so. I was told that the mafia and the government still control the pornography industry and that companies like Time Warner and A. T. & T. are neck deep in pornography profits too. Is it that art imitates life, or vice versa?

Now, a counter perception of blacks depicted as ALL animals is this. I attend one of those Mega churches that's 99.9% black. No buffoonery there. No ignorant n****rs there. Nope. Nothing but college educated business people, successful, big homes, big cars, wealthy. No stereotypes evident. We recently had a church service where we acknowledged a young, 16 year old, black girl who has written a devotional book that has been published and is on sale in book stores. Her mother is a local playwrite. Those are the types of black people I know. Those are the types of black people that are common where I come from. I don't know what kind of rathole communities you live in where all black people fit McGruder's stereotypes, or yours for that matter.

Are there people in my state that resemble negative black stereotypes? Hell, yeah, but they are certainly not the majority. Now, where I live, there are plenty of opportunities to excel. Not all states or cities offer these opportunities. And most black people don't have relatives that can pluck them out of poverty and give them a fair chance. Remember, the black race is only 12% and this 12% is perpetually targeted by forces that never have wanted any of them to survive, much less excel. Blacks are always in the cross hairs whether successful or unsuccessful. How convenient to have blacks that have made it trash blacks that haven't. Then the KKK doesn't have to. Then the GOP doesn't have to. Just put McGruder's cartoons on and point. Just feed Mayor Ray Nagin his lines and watch him say stupid shit. He's obviously been bought off. I wonder what Georgie Bullshit offered him to be such a useful idiot. He prolly got paid under the table to inflame the sentiments of white people because I know he doesn't have the clout, nor the power to spout the things he spouts on his own. That would be ignorant in every since of the word. He's so obviously being used, it's ridiculous. And, don't forget Bol. How precious. A race baiting blogosphere. Brilliant.

Finally, would the media advance a comic strip or TV shows that portrayed white, trailer trash, meth and crack/pot heads in middle America who would stand there and piss on themselves rather than get up and find a toilet. Would they so readily make fun of images of white mothers that would whore themselves for meth, rather than tending to their illegitimate children. Would they be so ready to make fun of white babies crawling around the trailer in diapers full of shit because mom put them outside while she turns tricks to get drug money? It's going down, for real, in this country. Would it be hilarious to show skits of how some meth head teenager plots the murder of their parents so they could forge their welfare checks and cash them for drug money. Wouldn't it be funny to see skits of them burrying their parents in the gravel pit next to the trailer park. Or, for you equal opportunity humorists, wouldn't it be funny to see how a white trash bimbo who has fallen in lust with a crack dealing, black thug, has been cheating on her white husband while he was over in Iraq. When he returns, they both set him up to be murdered so they can collect his insurance money? Hilarious!!! That just happened last month in this country. It was on the news. Or, how humorous would it be to see how an uneducated mother of five drowns her children in a bathtub because God told her her children were evil. How about the dude that has to sell his blood for money for food because he spent money he stole on meth? Or, he whores is ass to truckers at a truck stop, George Michael style, for $20 a 'pop' for drug money. Nullus to that comedy of fucked up fools!! That's fucking funny ass shit, isn't it? I should start my own comic strip about that kind of shit. Wouldn't that be just brilliant?

Wouldn't that be funny, white people? Would you laugh along with black folks laughing at you?

Would you, really?

Well, well, well...

Looks like another case of "The Cosby Syndrome".

How shocking, ol' boy busts out all kinds of truth on your asses and and the only thing anyone can do is talk about him saying the N-word or try to explain away what the guy says by blaming it all on economics or some other line of bullshit that every person with more than half a brain sees thru and has heard a thousand times before.

Maybe if you people just got the hint instead of just worrying about being offended, MLK's dream wouldn't stay a dream.

(Quite frankly, I think the reason why all you jigs get so upset when a BLACK MAN airs your races dirty laundry out in public is because its a BLACK MAN basically saying everything that you would call a white man a racist or bigot for saying, no matter how true you know it is...all because he sounds too "white"....ya know, that's pretty sad and pathetic. Like black people cutting on a smart black kid for being smart; ie he's too "white" if he's too smart...I mean, wow, what a reason to down someone.)

McGruder is damned if he do, unheard (and inconsequential) if he don't.

Bomani, that's my dude (pause), but a good chunk of black youth, and hence the black future, are fucked up.

McGruder is mad smart, insightful. His shit after katrina was hella on point.

Cali Grating Accents on your ass nigga.

Fuck a mandal (man sandal). That shit homo, or for heavy set nigerian dudes like Christian Okoye.

Lead

LMAO

Oh man...next thing you know he'll say it was nuclear fallout and El' Nino.

Hey man, here's a clue, its called IF YOU ACT LIKE A NIGGER, THATS WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK OF YOU.

Plain and simple, you don't want white or black people to think of you as a bunch of dumb niggers with no self-respect, character, or morals, then DON'T ACT THAT WAY.

Novel fucking concept ain't it.

(And a WHOLE lot shorter than 4 pages of excuses!)

>Lead

LMAO

look it up lead brain.

Diatribe has a very relovent point. Stereotypes may exist, but as long as you can be sucessful, no one can say otherwise. That's why I'm in college.

>Lead

LMAO

Oh man...next thing you know he'll say it was nuclear fallout and El' Nino.<

BLAH IS NOT ONLY IGNORANT, HE'S A FUCKING MORON.


Hey blah, we like to write diatribe's. We also like to think. Try it sometimes, if you can. Oh, and blah, mercury is in the vaccinations given. Mercury is not good for the brain either. I think you've had your fair share of both. It's evident.

Low-income children are eight times more likely to be exposed to lead paint, and African-American children are five times more likely than Anglo children to suffer from lead poisoning.

Children are most commonly exposed to lead by inhaling lead-paint dust or eating paint flakes, even though such paint was banned in 1978.

found at:
http://www.fi.edu/brain/metals.htm#effectlead


In 1890, the first case of lead poisoning was discovered in Australia. However the source of the lead was not traced to the paint on the verandahs and railings until 1904. In the United States the first recorded case of lead poisoning occurred in 1914 when a little baby ate the paint chips from his crib; this characteristic of children to taste everything the touch is referred to as pica. Lead is an extremely common metal that can be found almost anywhere. Some common sources of lead include: water, paint, electric storage batteries, insecticides, auto body shops, gasoline, etc. Even though there have been steps taken against lead with the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act, lead is still a public health risk today. (1) What does lead do exactly that is so harmful to the human body? More specifically how does lead effect the nervous system?

Most of the dysfunctions produced by the absorption of lead are due to lead's ability to mimic and inhibit the actions of calcium. (2) In humans the lead is directly absorbed, distributed, and excreted. Once in the bloodstream lead is distributed to three main compartments: blood, soft tissue (kidney, bone marrow, liver, and brain), and mineralized tissue (bones and teeth). (3) Lead effects children and adults in different ways. Low lead levels in children can cause the following side effects:

* Nervous system and kidney damage.
* Learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and decreased intelligence.
* Speech, language, and behavior problems.
* Poor muscle coordination.
* Decreased muscle and bone growth.
* Hearing damage.
* Seizures, unconsciousness, and death. (4)

In adults high levels of lead in their systems can cause the following:

* Increased chance of illness during pregnancy.
* Harm to a fetus, including brain damage or death.
* Fertility problems (in men and women).
* High blood pressure.
* Digestive problems.
* Nerve disorders.
* Memory and concentration problems.
* Muscle and joint pain. (4)

Once lead enters the body it interferes with normal cell function and physiological processes. Some of the physiological effects of lead include harm done to the peripheral and central nervous system (PNS, CNS), blood cells, metabolism of vitamin D and calcium, and reproductive toxicity. The nervous system seems to be the most sensitive to lead poisoning. (3)

Protect – Heavy Metals

Throughout history, heavy metal contamination has long plagued mankind - undermining intelligence and debasing behavior. Only now are we beginning to understand how heavy metals damage the brain.

The two heavy metals we examine here are lead and mercury. Both of these metals are common in our daily lives and both can have destructive effects on our brains and behavior.

History's Lead Story

The history of lead and the brain goes all the way back to the Roman Empire and through to the 18th century when Ben Franklin wrote a letter to a friend about a hypothesis linking lead and the brain.
Learn how Ben Franklin deducted that leaves and a lead roof were responsible for illness in Europe.
Find out why some researchers believe lead poisoning contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire.

The Effect of Lead on Our Brains

The news about lead and the brain is not good. Scientists think that even small amounts of lead in the body can lower intelligence, promote anti-social behavior, contribute to attention-deficits, and cause progressive mental decline. Scientists have also studied what happens to physical parts of the brain when lead is introduced.

All in all, the more you know about the effect of lead on the brain, the more you can recognize its potentially harmful impact.

Lead in Lunch Boxes
By Center for Environmental Health | Published 09/16/2005 | Environmental Health |

Oakland , CA – The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) announced it is filing lawsuits today against makers and retailers of soft vinyl lunch boxes that can expose children to harmful levels of lead. The Center has also notified several other companies of violations under California 's toxics law Proposition 65 (Prop 65) for lunch boxes with high lead levels. The lawsuits and violation notices against companies including Toys “R” Us, Warner Brothers, DC Comics, Time Warner, Walgreens, and others involve many lunch boxes featuring beloved children's characters including Superman, Tweety Bird, Powerpuff Girls, and Hamtaro. The level of lead in one lunch box, an Angela Anaconda box made by Targus International, tested at 56,400 parts per million (ppm) of lead, more than 90 times the 600 ppm legal limit for lead in paint in children's products.

How dangerous are the lunch boxes with lead?

The levels CEH found in the lunch boxes are not high enough to cause acute lead poisoning during normal use. However, if your child is exposed to lead from other sources, a leaded lunch box would add to their health risk. Because lead has been shown to cause developmental problem in young children at very low levels, CEH believes it is important to eliminate all controllable sources of lead exposure, including lunch boxes.

Keep children away from chemicals
Mercury harms developing brains, slows economy


By Dr. Leonardo Trasande and Dr. Philip Landrigan
For the Poughkeepsie Journal


Children are America's most precious resource. We pediatricians routinely advise parents to use car seats and helmets to protect their children from devastating injuries. We urge pregnant women to abstain from smoking and drinking and to eat a balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition for their babies. These preventive measures do not merely make good medical sense, they make good financial sense, preventing unnecessary and costly health care and preserving children's futures. When we recently learned a preventable form of brain injury — environmental pollution — is harming hundreds of thousands of American children each year, we decided it was time to speak on behalf of the children.

This type of brain damage can reduce their lifetime earnings potential by billions of dollars annually.

Chemicals that poison the developing brain — neurotoxicants — pose an insidious threat to children's health. These include lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and certain pesticides. In the months right before and after birth, when children are passing through the most rapid phases of development, they are especially vulnerable to these threats. Neurotoxicants that gain entry to a pregnant woman's body can cross the placenta from mother to child, enter the baby's brain and damage it permanently. The consequences are loss of intelligence (as measured by IQ), behavior disruption, increased risk of attention deficit disorder and heightened risk of autism. Many of these effects can last a lifetime.

Hey blah, I dare you to drink two bottles of antifreeze. It won't hurt you. You might actually get smarter.

TRY IT.

look man i'm not really tryin to get into this cuz a) i dont watch the show and b) i don' really give a fuck but whatever... I'm bored and really don't have shit else to do...

Dear Diatribe,
I admit you had some interestng things to say, some perhaps bordering conspiracy/paranoia, regardless the majority of you statements were both prejudice and yes...ignorant. First of all the theory that the "man" has posioned the children of the urban with lead candy is fuckin ridiculous...you must be smokin some serious dro to have come up with that crazy shit. Secondly, your statement on the rusty lead pipes and lead-based paint covering the houses of the "ghetto" also again lacks thought. If it turns out that these pipes and homes are in fact contaminated with poisonous lead (which is not hard to believe, it is because and only beacause it's cheaper to use cheap shitty tools to make cheap, shitty homes, that unsurprisingly only the lower class would want to take shelter in. It is not a government conspiracy to oppress blacks it's a way that big corporations save money. Your skin color does not matter here, you could be brown, yellow, white, fuckin purple and live in these ghetto ass homes simple because: mother fucker! you can't afford to live anywhere else. Finally, your statements on the ignorance of sterotyping is proof of your own hypocritical, pretentios and yes, IGNORANT ideas:
>People that believe in gross, mass stereotypes are ignorant
>Now, white people are an example of mass ignorance to me...

hahaha you fuckin retard, not only are you a self-righteous hypocritical drop of ghonorhea juice, you also call yourself IG'NANT! fool! Im sure i could have gone down the list and read more of your prejudice ass lil' essay but I, along with everyonelse on this fuckin site don't have time for your irrelevant, wee-tod-ded banter.

ps.>Now, if someone told you it was pooring down raining

"pouring rain"....proofread your shit next time bitch.

blah, or the blah clone that jumps to life when blah posts, give it up. you are pathologically illogical. this last poster actually spells like that joe jihad rockhead. you two aren't bunking together at the ymca again, are you? that's a definite nullus.

but, you can't win. you're too stupid to win. keep writing so everybody can see how fucked up your head is.

sounds more to me like you're the paranoid one. refute my facts with your facts, not your played out insults. they mean nothing to me. i've heard them before. you never, ever, ever, never ever, spit anything intelligent. why is that? you can't even spell. what the fuck is wrong with you? you can't even spell simple words. damn. you're proof positive that lead fucks with the brain cells, yet you're too stupid to understand the effects, even though i laid them out for you.

now, that's fucking weird.

it's too obvious that all my words are like bullets to your thin skull. i kill you repeatedly. you keep standing back up like jason, but get killed again and again. i'm a blog murderer. i don't wanna be. but you're so easy to kill. (verbally, that is - intellectually, that is - conceptually, that is).

do us both a favor. just read my shit, then kill yourself.

i'm tired of murkin' your dumb ass.

correction (thanks to a proofer that spells worse than me):

Now, if someone told you it was pooring down raining and you should take an umbrella, and you looked at them as though they were stupid and walked right out into the deluge and got soaked... then you're fucking ignorant.

pooring should've been pouring.

I claim one point for degree of difficulty. My bad.

Oh, fuck it. I had to.

>>Finally, your statements on the ignorance of sterotyping is proof of your own hypocritical, pretentios and yes, IGNORANT ideas:

ps.>Now, if someone told you it was pooring down raining

"pouring rain"....proofread your shit next time bitch.<<

Ok, I overlooked one word out of -- how many?
But the next time you correct someone's spelling, PROOF your own. OK? Ok.

sterotyping? what's that?
pretentios? try a little harder.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot....

BITCH!!

That's a lot of reading... that I'm not going to do (the comments).

I'm seriously tired of anyone that attempts to address the problems with some aspects of black culture being labeled "self-loathing". If anything is racist and self-loathing, that is.

Since you insisted on another 4 page rant repeating the same crap from the last one and refuse (as usual) to answer the issue at hand, I'll ask again.

Does the fact that black people are stupid enough to eat paint chips like they're doritos negate the fact that if you don't act like a nigger (and I'm not just speaking of the stupidity aspect, which is about the only possible thing that lead MIGHT explain here.) you won't be treated like one?

Just answer the question without going off on a tangent that everyone knows is an EXCUSE, not a REAL REASON.

Let me dumb it down for you a little more since you just don't seem to get it.

If you act like an asshole (or in this case, a typical nigger), do you not expect to be treated like one?

Yes or No?

Its a simple question, can you PLEASE answer it without trying to explain it away or blaming someone else for it as you generally do.

(I got a funny feeling that this is wishful thinking....if he answered the question truthfuly , it would go against the normal behavior that most jigs practice on a daily basis, which typically falls under the subject of "double standards" or "Do as I say, Not as I do".)

>If you act like an asshole (or in this case, a typical nigger), do you not expect to be treated like one?

Who knows what definitions you have floating around in your diseased skull. Based on your previous pukes, you think all black people should be killed, or hanged, or some other dumb shit, so it's obvious you're a fucking insane, skinhead type. To dialogue with you is like playing with shit, for real. The smell is nauseating.

The questions you should be asking are:

Since stupidity is your definition of a "nigger", is there a difference between a "typical cracker" and a "nigger", besides hue? Is there any difference between trailer park rednecks, aryan skinheads, or so called "niggers"?

To that, my answer is Hell to the No! If ignorance and stupidity are the criteria, then you surely fit the bill, big time. You're right in there. Thus, you should be treated just like a "typical cracker", and I'm sure everyone that knows of your posts thinks of you as such.

Since you constantly act like an asshole on this site... constantly, consistently, then you should be treated like a "typical nigger". According to your own definition, that's exactly how you act. And, apparently, a "typical nigger" and a "typical cracker" share so much in common, according to your definitions. So, are you a "crackerish nigger", or a "niggerish cracker"?

Whatever your classification, if I got down to your level, I'd be lower than a crushed cockroach. And, if you truly hate assholes, then you most certainly, completely hate yourself.

Suicide is the only, good remedy for you then, blah. God won't be angry with you anymore.

Think about it, won't you.

Think about it, won't you?

To the dumbass who posts these ten page articles in every comments section:

>it's too obvious that all my words are like bullets to your thin skull. i kill you repeatedly. you keep standing back up like jason, but get killed again and again. i'm a blog murderer. i don't wanna be. but you're so easy to kill. (verbally, that is - intellectually, that is - conceptually, that is).

Giving yourself props is even more hilarious than that dumbass on Chappelle's Show that did the whole "Boom, Pow, Surprise...Ohhhhhhhh!"

You never answer anyone's questions, you just insult them and continue to make paranoid assertions that are not grounded in fact, and then you top it off with self congratulation. TOO FUNNY! and typical. You remind me of the greats like Al Sharpton, only I'm sure Al gets more ass...

I look forward to your next 20 pages of blathering. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but apparently, hours of your life sitting in front of a computer screen dreaming up bullshit aren't.

I'm still waiting....

Personal insults do not count as YES or NO.

And just to clarify:

Asshole = not color or race specific

Niggers can be any color...as blacks are normally so quick to point out.

My whole point is simply this.

I know plenty of white, latino, and black people, including myself, that grew up with NOTHING...and I don't see them or me acting like "typical niggers" (the people that mcgruder was speaking of) and nor do I hear any of the BS excuses coming out of their or my mouth for that type of behavior from anyone. PERIOD. I'm sorry, but their is no acceptable excuse for it.

If you don't want to be seen as "typical niggers" then don't act that way.

To me, its the same thing with saying the word nigger and a black person getting offended at just the utterance of it. As far as I'm concerned, if your not a nigger, then you have no reason to be offended, because I wasn't talking about you...I was addressing the black person(s) that are acting like niggers.

IE. If you don't act like one, then you have no worries about being thought of as one of them.

Same difference, the black people that I know hate niggers worse than I do...but thats because they look at it as when blacks act like niggers, they're making black people as a whole look bad.

Thats the position you should be taking if you want people to take you seriously, instead of making excuses and condoning the behavior.

Comment: I like John Witherspoon, and believe that if it was too off the wall that he wouldn't want to be associated with it.
------------------------------------------

RE: Fuck Bill Cosby and the Jello pudding pop he rode in on. Needless, to say he rode that Chocolate pudding pop real hard. Asshole.

Anyway, John Witherspoon played with the Wayans Bros. That whole crew is a bunch of self-loathing, self-deprecating, lunatic sell-outs. If you don't know that you probably hate yourself just like they hate you, for being Black. Then he played in Friday with the biggest sellout ICE CUBE. Yeah, I said it. Ice Cube, Wayans, are a bunch of sellout fools.

Comments: The Boondocks has negro characters. how revolutionary and edgey.
-------------------------------------------------

RE: Glad to see you felt comfortable enough to take off your hood, muthaf---. Now, put the pillowcase back over the pillow, silly bitch. The word "negro" played out a long time ago. I don't two shits about that silly faggot Aaron McGruder, but having Black characters on television has nothing to do with being edgy or revolutionary. It's just long over due. So, why don't you try stuffing Bill Cosby's Jello Pudding Pop in your mouth for awhile, and SHUT THE FUCK UP!

>>>I know plenty of white, latino, and black people, including myself, that grew up with NOTHING...and I don't see them or me acting like "typical niggers" (the people that mcgruder was speaking of) and nor do I hear any of the BS excuses coming out of their or my mouth for that type of behavior from anyone.

dude, come on. don't play yourself. this is not at all the attitude you take when you post here. at least be honest. i've never seen you single out "the black people you know."

"After all, they did assassinate MLK, but why? He was extremely dangerous because he and Malcolm were waking people up to the falsehoods and the costs in human life and in taxpayer's money of the Viet Nam war, a war much like the Iraq war "

he wasn't going expose the jews who led and created him was he? the way jews talk endlessly how mlk means so much to them kind of reminds me of how they took all the diamonds from south africa then cried endlessly about how terrible whites treated negroids over there. is it guilt?

i had expericences where i confronted jews(who weren't aware of my jewdar) on the iraq war and who is behind it, and they say they aren't politically-oriented people but they are always talking about mlk. how conveinient;they pick and choose who is/isn't a victim.

that arron mcgruger has white blood in him look at the expression on his face, it's a white person expression. now every angry nigress will blame white women for the fact that they can't have him and treat him as a boy. this guy will look down on welfare slut, loud mouthed, criminal record, gang member,parolee welfare whores who are angry not because they are part of the criminal justice system, but because "the good ones" don't want their ugly asses.

"white people are an example of mass ignorance to me"

yeah after hearing all the non-stop lies about negroes having been victims in america for the past 50 years you'd think they would connect the dots and realize something isn't right about the jew "victimhood" in ww2 or the jew-inspired war in iraq.

now they have a journalist(another worthless person, or else a spy) in iraq held hostage and her mother was on tv telling the iraqi freedom fighters that executing(beheading) her wouldn't bring justice to iraq but where was this mother and this jewish christian science moniter "journalist" when there was no justice when thousands of iraqi women were bombed out and burned alive? they weren't given any mercy because they were women. why does this christian science moniter jewess deserve different treatment?

iraqi women were raped while held hostage by americans and isrealis. why was there no justice for them?

" know plenty of white, latino, and black people, including myself, that grew up with NOTHING...and I don't see them or me acting like typical niggers"


that's another jew lie. if you did have negroes and spics in your school they were hand picked and you had lots of police protection at the school. same ole jew comments and weird style of reasoning. just be glad the arabs aren't beheading your family.

jews filled the churches with endless talk about terrorists and gay marriage. they have these pig shits in chuches listening to oily black preachers leading these useless idiots to think endlessly about terrorists and gay marriage while the carpet is going to be pulled from beneath their feet. where are terrorist? right in your own community.are iraqis causing oppression in america's cities? if not who is it?

the iraq war really proved how evil jews and their agenda is. they don't even feel guilt about their mass murder but want everyone to feel sorry for them from 50 years ago and give them prime real estate for their unsubstantiated claims about ww2. look who's commiting the murders & genocide of whites and muslims who won't agree to jewish demands--it's the jews who createed violence in iraq and everywhere else that's an important part of the world. do you really think they aren't doing it here?

"so it's obvious you're a fucking insane, skinhead type. To dialogue with you is like playing with shit, for real. The smell is nauseating."

it's REALLY obvious they you are a homosexual. whether a mulatto or kike dyke or gay religious mulatto jew(half christian) is immaterial.

heterosexual niggas only care about nigga pussy they don't care about white boys being racist. or else niggas who CHOSE to live around whites are always squealing about racism. you wouldn't care about "racism" if you were satisfied with being around your own race. non-white homosexuals are always crying about racism because they want to have sex with white people . black prostitutes always want to go with white johns.


the iraq war gives freedom to cheney's lesbian jew daughter to be all she can be or for the kike dyke-led oprah to be on tv more than saddam was ever on iraqi tv. saddam had statues eveywhere in iraq for iraqis to see, we just see a nigro lesbian eveywhere. someone is protecting oprah's lesbainism from being exposed. jacko was too weird for them to keep hiding it.

" know plenty of white, latino, and black people, including myself, that grew up with NOTHING...and I don't see them or me acting like typical niggers"


that's another jew lie.

I realize programming is a hard thing to get over, and the low genetic quality of the european mutts that are your forebearer's makes it even more difficult for you, but realize that you are not the first to be infused with these emotive suggestions and that someone would not have gone to all the trouble to initiate your programming if it didn't suit their agenda. Unfortunately, your undoubtedly low social class and previously mentioned low genetic quality means that you will not be an inheritor of the goal of the agenda. You are a voice of rhetoric, which I suppose is necessary in every movement, but not especially your movement, since it is doomed, and its primary enemy now, is time.

programming? no way, it's called connecting the dots. The jig is up. we are losing the war in iraq, kiling lots of people doesn't = a victory as nazi germany found out and these mulatto pigs shits like the lesbian commando rice and half jew powell.. well where would they fit in other than america?

hey horace, just look at december's issue of national geographic magazine and read about east afrocans who hunt each other with huge knifes..today & now, not 50 or even 1,500 years ago, the shit is plain sick just as it is here and now.

you is mad about some comment i wrote but which one is it?

they be saying in a NRA magazine article that shit- stained face lesbian commando rice's family needed a gun to scare of the kkk and larry elders was in the magazine also and he needs to scare off the jigs because mister larry surley doesn't need a piece to protect himself from kkk but more likely to protect himself from angry welfare whores or zionist-influenced gay bashers who were taught to hate terrorists and fear gay marriage.

Why do my fellow humans such as yourselves, find the reason to split ourselves up into groups, I.E races? There is very few differences between human "races", so lets all shut up and stop trying to proove that some race is ignorant, or stupid.

Doesnt anyone ever think about when you call someone a "nigger" based on race, you yourself are most likely a "nigger".

P.S I love the boondocks

For all those with so many negative comments against The Boondocks, I really think you're missing the point. I believe McGruder is putting a mirror up to our community and saying in certain situations this is how ignorantly you behave. The point, in my opinion, is to arouse awareness through shock and awe. Though you may not agree with the methods both he and perhaps Bill Cosby uses for announcing their disgust with what's wrong with our culture, the fact is that they're giving their opinion on some of the reasons many of us are self-destructing. For those with such dissent for these displays in public media, please allow me to pose a question to you. Instead of shows such as The Boondocks which portrays certain facets of society through humor in an effort to education while entertaining, how would you propose we get the message out about the degradation of our culture?

Quotes from a gentically superior aryan:

"these mulatto pigs shits like the lesbian commando rice"

"read about east afrocans who hunt each other with huge knifes"

"shit- stained face lesbian commando rice's family needed a gun to scare of the kkk and larry elders was in the magazine also and he needs to scare off the jigs "

Ray Earl, National Geographic is newspeak for propoganda - lies.

Anyone who looks into McGruder's work and disses it immediately can suck a dick. Seriously, ya'll haters out there can't judge a man simply by what he puts out. Actually read what the man has done, see deeper into the episodes that he creates. This ain't jus' a dude tryna exploit niggas and make a funny tv show at the expense of black people, he clearly states that he's trying to send a message, and people (mostly white people) are too damn busy tryna find somethin' else to "get offended" by to realize the message Aaron is tryna send. You think the McGruder would honestly try to dishoner the very man who played one of the key roles (which is an understatement) to where we (black people) are today. This is comin' from a sixteen year old, on the real, ya'll need to grow the fuck up.
Chi-Town (Southside)

I think Boondocks is an excellent show once you get past the language.
Speaking as an African American that was born into poverty, i think we have serious issues to face from the outside as well as for the inside. Cosby ( old skool) and Mcgruder (newskool) both face this head on.
One major issue is self accountability. We have avenues at our disposal we do not utilize. For instance, I know people with rims, flat screen tvs and designer clothes and bs like that, but dont have a computer in their house so their kids and learn. We can make every play, comedy show or sports game, but have not made it to one pta meeting, visited their childrens schools or taken them to the library, museum or zoo.

We Black need to "man up" and do the things we can so our children can have better lives.

The point of the ep is this: if MLK were to see where we are going as a people (and we ain't going far-that has less to do with ghetto niggas and more to do with Black people not having any standards anymore), he would regret ever having fought so hard. Which is true. The only people that have a problem with that are those that are depicted in the ep/media for being the ghetto jokers that they are. Babies out of wedlock isn't cute. Education isn't a disease (or as Chris Rock puts it, "cryptonite to a nigga". Why isn't anyone calling HIM or Dave Chapelle a Cosby?). Drug dealers that get shot aren't black heroes. Shaking your dumb ass in a video for $200 is not uplifting. Wake the FUCK UP and the episode may not ring true!
