The world may never know, OP. The world may never know.

>>77598396
I believe he saw Tom as a "betrayer" who completely abandoned black culture. Such a sentiment is bullshit, I would like to add.

>>77598396
Because:
> "MUH race mixing is bad and Tom is an Uncle Tom because he's educated and has a good job MUH Blacks should be all a kind of annoying malcolm x cocksucker shit marxist revolutionnary, Black men must fucks white womens only for annoy for annoy honkies but with not having childrens with them MUH DICK "

You do realize that Tom was a protagonist and several times Tom's lifestyle and views are vindicated in the show, right? Tom's just easy to pick on because he's so adorably naive.

That although Huey represents more prominently Aaron McGruder's own views, each protagonist to some extent represents McGruder's own philosophy while acting as satirical caricatures for every class of person in black society who is never completely right in their thinking, which includes Huey himself.

The only reason Tom is shat on is because he's a pussy.

>The only reason Tom is shat on is because he's a pussy.

This. The guy is just easy to mess with. It'd be the same in real life to a lesser extent. Even though he did man up in episodes where he was the central character.

The show spent much more time shitting on the section of black culture that Riley followed than the people like Tom.

>>77598705
As fun as it is seeing Tom get keked and forcing him to man up, it's weird that they basically repeated this plot for the 4th season.

>>77598998
Really, the fact that their first appearance has everybody who's clearly meant to be in the wrong singling out Tom because of this should be proof that Aaron was satirizing those stereotypes and bullshit because it's just another way for whitey to manipulate blacks into hating other blacks, and make sure black men who want to be successful are ostracized on both sides.

As the show went on, it felt more and more like the dynamic was that the Dubois were meant to be nice, upstanding people, and Riley and Granddad are meant to be seen as shitty people for constantly ruining their day somehow. Even Huey's cold bluntness to Jazmine makes sense when you see the lemonade stand episode - Tom's way of raising her protects her innocence, but only until the system takes advantage of her. So, yeah, Huey's being-right-about-everything got tiresome after a while, but I don't think Aaron bore those characters any ill will. It was the Aaron-less season 4 that retread the "Sarah is wooed by another, smoother black man" plot.

>>77599371
But not surprising. Season 4 was pretty hacky in general.

>>77599078
He's always trying to get black people to wake up and be socially aware. But keep in mind that Huey is reasonably proud of being a black person. He just kind of pities other black people that have lost their way and aren't socially aware.

Hell if they were going to do something like that then at least they could have reversed it with Tom befriending a fine white woman and sarah being in the same position Tom was in the Usher episode.

Delicious daily Boondocks thread

Are the comics worth reading?

Since Season 2 they said they were going to bring in Caesar. Why didn't they get Caesar?

Huey's a fucking racist hypocrite.
He looks up to people like Martin Luther King Jr. and yet still hates white people.

And have you ever noticed how every major metropolitan city in the U.S. that has a street named after him is located in the most racist, most segregated, most violent part of that city? Way to make a dream into a reality, people. I'll just bet Dr. King is proud to be looking down from heaven, and seeing what is being done in his name. Way to educate the ignorant. Keep up the good work.

It would be, if white people accepted you unequivocally for doing so. But they don't, so your choice is to walk around without an identity and the communal support that comes with it, pick the parts of Blackness that don't hamper or even boost your efforts to be a good person while eschewing the rest or adopt a foreign culture that neither black nor white Americans know, allowing you to craft a new cultural identity with like-minded people (hence black weebs).

Huey's point isn't that he's a racist hypocrite. His cynicism, especially in regards to race (in how both black people AND white people act), is almost always justified.

There's a famous black activist and writer named W.E.B Dubois. His name was pronounced "Doo-Boys". Tom's last name is spelled the same way, but is pronounced in the proper French pronunciation (Doo-bwa). I think that was done on purpose to signify how he's kind of closer to being white or something, idk.

He replied he was too busy with his studies so that he could establish himself in the world. She got pissed and told him he was a sell-out.

Why do certain black Americans bash the fuck out of guys who don't fit their perception and narrative. My buddy wasn't sucking up to white people, but he didn't act like a black American either.

The Boondocks comic strips qent through several changes of appearance because McGruder started hiring different artists to draw the strips for him.

The style remained the same, but how refined or clean it looked would chanhe subtely from time to time.

>>77603296
>And have you ever noticed how every major metropolitan city in the U.S. that has a street named after him is located in the most racist, most segregated, most violent part of that city
Yes I have noticed, because we both watched The Boondocks episode where MLK came back and they literally pointed that out.

>>77603296
>He looks up to people like Martin Luther King Jr. and yet still hates white people.

MLK didn't exactly like white people. He just understood that white people held all the power.

MLK was shit anyhow. Malcolm X would have been a better leader for the black community. But MLK taught passivity and the white majority liked non-threatening passive blacks so MLK gets shoved down black people's throat year after year ever since. MLK taught blacks that they should stick their hand out and ask for shit from the man instead of being self reliant. He taught blacks to take a beating with 'dignity' when the biggest and most well known historical heroes of the white community didn't take shit off of anybody.

Nobody talks about how the founding fathers took the british empire's shit and were granted independence after shaming the british into easing their jackboot from off of america's neck. That's because that never happened. The founding fathers basically decided that they wanted liberty at ANY cost and got that liberty in the only real way imaginable. They earned it on the battlefield.

Nobody can give you freedom. They can only show you mercy at their own luxury. Freedom is earned, not granted.

I never hear songs or stories off white historical figures that avoided war by taking a beating with dignity but MLK is propped up as some icon of progress for the black community. And if those songs exist, they are drowned out by a chorus of veneration for fighters that didn't sit still, wring their hands or put on a shameful display in hopes that their foe will take pity on them.

I feel bad for Malcolm X. He got murdered by his own group for not being hateful enough.

The ironic part? It's AFTER he fully converted to Islam is when he started suggesting that they should tone down their methods. Kind of the opposite of how it usually goes.

>>77621353

>>77621394
That's because back then Radical Islam was only a tiny niggling voice in the ear of Islam in general, that was easily ignored.

Now it's the equivalent of someone screaming in your face with a bullhorn.

>>77621107
Near the end of his life, MLK was actually getting fed up with the constant beatings and was beginning to consider more direct measures.

And at the same time, after he came back from his hajj, Malcolm X came to the conclusion that maybe Whitey WASN'T the Devil after all.
And because of that, his own guys murdered him.

>>77621107

MLK is more recent and you can argue that the racial tensions between whites and blacks are higher now than the current tensions between brits and yankees. Not to say that we shouldn't ignore/forget history, but MLK is more relevant

You said that you are upset that a cartoon character doesn't believe in god, then when people point out that is silly you call them autistic as opposed to explaining why it isn't silly. People mock you for not realizing that it's silly to be upset over such a thing, and again as opposed to explaining why it isn't you call them retarded.

Except both those quotes are me. Imma say this one last time. Within the fictional work knows as Boondocks, there is an episode in which Huey is advised by Jasmine multiple times to pray to god to help some poor nigga get out of Jail. He vehemently refuses until the bitter end where he gets on his knees and prays. The episode also has Uncle Ruckus going around preaching racist crap and says, at the same time Huey is praying, that if he is wrong about what he is preaching, then let god strike him down with lighting. He is then immediately struck by lightning, which happens to turn the power off at the Jail preventing the execution of poor nigga man, giving Huey more time to prepare. Huey, being stubborn still refuses to knowledge god, and insists it was coincidence.

Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam and he was murdered because he exposed the Elijah Muhammad's hypocrisy and he betrayed the Nation of Islam, not because he wasn't hateful enough.

>>77621422
No, Malcolm X was murdered because he exposed Elijah Muhammad's hypocrisy. Elijah Muhammad was having affairs and fucking his female assistants and even knocked a few of them up. That was a deeply held secret in the Nation of Islam and threatened to disrupt the entire organization. He even predicted that this would happen for the resin that I described right before he was killed. He knew he was going to die and why he was going to die.

Did Malcolm X speak of 'not all whites being the devil'? Sure, but he never said a thing about taking a beating with dignity or not defending yourself from people that try to harm you. The original black panthers didn't think all whites were the devil either but that didn't mean that they were all for laying down and being passive doormat or begging people outside f the community for handouts.

>>77621508
Tension between whites and blacks are not higher now. That's what the media projects but think for a second about the shit that went on in the 50's and 60's in the US.

I don't see white people lining up outside of schools to stop blacks from attending that school. I don't see constant stories of blacks and civil rights activists being lynched in the south.I don't see white lawmakers overtly making laws to criminalize blacks specifically.

The media projects an illusion of things getting worse when things are actually much-much better and have been getting much better for decades.

Jesus' story was about using the power of faith to work miracles. His being crucified was completely inconsequential because he can just self revive because he had the faith to do so.

>MLK wasn't a pacifist because of racial reasons, MLK was a pacifist because he was first and foremost a Christian minister.

Christian minters throughout history had no problem resorting to violence with sufficient excuse to do so. In fact, the bible has many passages that support aggression and violence.

Well, I think the tensions between colonials and brits were pretty high considering that it was resolved with a formal declaration of war and thousands of lives lost in battle.

>>77623202
Yes, I know that happened in canada. But I'm talking about the US here. Canada is a completely different beast with a different culture and history. It's also important to note that the british seemed to be really progressive and do things for the betterment of their subjects without resorting to war a few times throughout history. For instance, I believe that they abolished slavery without resorting to war and were somewhat resistant to chattel slavery by law when the atlantic slave trade was already going on. But I'm specifically talking about the US because, let's be realistic, most of the things that america has was gained in battle and conquest. The british empire did its fair share, but europe is very old and has matured after hundreds of years of in-fighting.

Those things only happened after it became clear that the prevailing institutions that usually secured the status quo (namely, poverty and the police) were powerless to stop the tide of integration. Today, the police are still very much running the show, and until the institutions that have authority to make them pull rank step in, most white Americans who would have the inclination to take things to the levels of the 50s and 60s are "satisfied" and therefore don't.

In short, it's not that PoC aren't facing comparable levels of institutional discrimination, it's that white people don't feel the need yet to step in with comparable levels of personal discrimination.

Just you wait until the Syrians get here.

>>77623749
>>77609769

But a black man that is successful and isn't stereotypical of being 'black' isn't called an uncle tom.

Nobody calls Neil Degrasse Tyson an Uncle Tom. Nobody calls Colin Powell an Uncle Tom.
Nobody calls Obama an Uncle Tom and he's the whitest black man there is with his fancy graduating magna cum laude with a degree from harvard law.

I have a few clients that make hundreds of thousands a year, golf and live in quiet neighborhoods with $500k+ houses and two priuses along with two other non-stereotypical black cars in their garage and nobody calls them uncle toms.

I don't know where people got this from but being successful doesn't make a black man an uncle tom. And uncle tom is an apologist for whites that abuse blacks or immediately take an anti-black stance on any subject. Ben Carson is an example of this. Pretty much any black pundit that appears frequently on fox news is also an example.

Was Huey a parody of activists, MacGruder's soapbox, or a little of both?

>Apparently it means "Little mule"

It doesnt mean little mule but it is obviously a reference to a mule, the mix of a horse and a donkey. Mulatto comes from a word the Arabs used to describe someone who was a mix between an Arab and a non Arab, mostly in the Iberian peninsula and thats were the Spaniards and Portuguese got it.

It became a derogatory term to call someone who was mixed, being the word "mestizo" (mixed in English) the regular term. Early during colonial America the Spaniard used the word "mestizo" to call someone who was a mix of anything, being mulatto and insult, but it slowly became the standard word to call the mix between a White and Black person and mixed (mestizo) the one to call a mix between an Amerindian and a White person.

Mixed (Mestizo) = Amerindian + White
Zambo = Amerindian + Black
Mulatto = Black + White

Those are the three basic mixes.

I agree with this somewhat. While I REALY enjoy the writing in season 2 and 3, it just doesn't feel like the same show. The tone of season 1 was very chill while still being sharp and topical.I can't quite describe it. It took a lot of things from the comic at that time which I think worked really well. Especially "The Block is Hot".

Acting white isn't "obeying the law and doing well in school". MOST black people obey the law and at least *try* to do well in school. Acting white is literally following the general culture of America and speaking with a white person's accent/voice. Also being a pussy is associated with "acting white".

>>77598559
>>77598625
He's easy to make fun of/jokes out of because he's so timid. Tom is what people THINK an Uncle Tom is, someone who "doesn't act black", married to a white woman, so on and so forth. Tom's just a black guy that either manged to get out, or never had to leave in the ghetto. That's all.

While Uncle Ruckus is exactly what an Uncle Tom is, he hates black people, being black, and goes well out of his way to make excuses for why racist actions towards black people are okay.

As much as I wish the show kept up with it's political nature, I guess I'm not surprised that aspect of the show died out, because it seems like not enough people understood what it it was trying to say.

It's not like Black People just show up to Martin Luther King Jr. Streets in the country to make it shitty, they just choose a bad street where black people live and call it that to try and pretend like they give a shit.

Just like how everyone pretends to give a shit about black people during black history month, when they could really give a fuck less.

>How come if a black man is successful and not stereotypical other black people call him an "uncle tom"?
This is only something that white people believe.
An Uncle Tom is someone is who wants to fit in/be successful so badly that not only is he willing to give up his identity /adopt a new identity, he's either more than willing to suggest that other black people "just don't act right" and that's why they're having trouble

People don't like Uncle Toms, because it's hard enough to get people to listen as it is, and the first person everyone is looking for is not a black person who has something good to say, what they're looking for is someone who will repeat a like-minded statement, to put them at ease. No, there isn't anything wrong, it's just THEM! Here come the Uncle Tom's ready to shuck and jive and validate whatever opinon about black people for attention, and then you get to go unheard while this person does his dance, as long as he gets along.

It's like if you're from a poor family, and someone in your family got rich by sucking dick, and then not only does this person not like to hang out with you, acts like a completely different, and then preaches to you about how MAYBE you wouldn't be so poor if you just tried a little harder.

That's why whenever something happens, the first thing everyone shows up to do is to find the black guy that hates the other black people, so you don't have to think any more than "well, those darkies love to cause trouble."

If white people say anything about other white people, or specifically try to critic white people about anything, we call them "SJWs" and stop listening to them. When a black person says "pull up your pants!" we call them a well spoken genius, and a credit to their people.

Yeah, there are a few things to talk about among black people, but nobody listens to the moderate opinion, people look for Cosby and Barkley to tell black people they're stupid.

I heard of a place in the South that had the fucking bathrooms segregated. Yeah, it turns out that all of the black people COULDN'T use the upstairs bathroom and would always have to go to the downstairs one.

>Nobody calls Obama an Uncle Tom a
...Really? Because there were talk shows centered around "Is he black enough?" and dumbasses actually trying to bring back the One Drop Rule to claim him. Hell, I know (don't particularly like, but know) at least three people that would describe him as such.

>>77625596
Both. You have to remember that McGruder mellowed out as he got older which is why he eventually created Caesar, to be the guy that looks at Huey and goes "Maybe take it down a notch" The cartoon never gets that far, so we never get that moderate voice.

>>77635965
So yeah. The successful nigga who isn't pretending to be a common thug and be pro black bordering on utter racist is an uncle tom.

Cause...LOL half of the brothers and sisters in fucking modern media including most hiphip are in your words uncle toms. Hell many of them LITTERALLY SUCKED DICK TO GET WHERE THEY ARE. The men and the women.
Face it. Uncle Tom is just an invention created to keep black people enslaved to an entirely contrived identity stolen crafted and sold back to us by media academia and government.
Any black people who fall outside of those false norms are instantly written off as crazy,sell out, uncle tom or "niggas".

>>77635965
There is no objective ruler by which lifestyles or moral codes can be measured against each other. There is, however, absolutely nothing unreasonable in fitting in, sever ties with those who don't fit in with you. Or shun idiots who think previous statement is incorrect.

Wanna have your Black identity intact? Sure, you can have it in your mini-Somalia.

>>77636343
Nope.

>>77636343
Undoubtedly a bunch of them are not.
Because Uncle Tom's Cabin is a book
And nobody fucking reads anymore.

>>77635965
>that not only is he willing to give up his identity /adopt a new identity
As opposed to what, exactly? What is the quintessential black identity that he's betraying?

Because I got a lot of that "you're a race traitor" shit back in high school for liking classical mythology and anime and having a high GPA.

>>77637676
I read it in School. I imagined if I was reading this, American kids certainly would. I thought your history was like a big deal to you.

>>77637745
Oh, oh buddy. There's at least three things wrong with your chain of thought there and the depressing thing is I'm not even sure which is the most relevant.

First off, nope. American kids are all about standardized tests now because we fucked up our educational system with a piece of legislation called No Child Left Behind that doesn't allow for the kind of critical reasoning skills you'd need to teach from a book like Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Second, even if we were to get that, it wouldn't be a book we'd give "kids". You'd maybe see that in high school at best. You have to remember we're talking about the country that tried banning Huck Finn because of the word nigger rather than confront the fact that yeah, freemen in the deep south faced way worse than a word.

Third, it's not really "our" history. It's the history of one minority, which means schools and history books have no problem shoving it all into one month at best, and can skip it entirely. I went to one of those fancy college prep schools for high school, the kind that you end up seeing lots off future policy makers in, and it was the same old "founding fathers are fucking awesome!" shit. History ended at the revolutionary war. Not even the Civil war, because then you start making people uncomfortable and start having to answer hard questions.

At best, you might find a very small percentage o schools that use Uncle Tom's Cabin as their prerequisite Black History Month lip-service book, but from my teaching experiences it seems like A Raisin in the Sun is the new standard since it's shorter, had a recent made for TV movie adaptation, and plays encourage lass participation.

And even then, I personally get that play until college, and even then, only because I took an Af-Am literature elective.

>>77636343
The insult's not based on the original book - it's based on the dozens of derivative works which boiled Uncle Tom down to a sniveling old geezer. It's shitty adaptations that turned it into what it is today.

Imagine a world where the original Howard the Duck comic became way more successful, but the Howard the Duck movie lead to 20 sequels. It's like that.

>>77637809

History ended at the revolutionary war. Not even the Civil war, because then you start making people uncomfortable and start having to answer hard questions.

First two points are spot on, but this third one....well, you're half right. The part about Black History month is true, but, speaking as someone who attended public school in a medium sized town in Oklahoma, at least by high school, they were no longer shying away from racial issues. The Civil War was covered in history class, and while I never had to read Uncle Tom's Cabin, I did have to read Invisible Man and Heart of Darkness, both of which featured racism prominently.

>>77637696
You're asking the wrong guy, I don't know what the "quintessential black identity" is supposed to be, just what an Uncle Tom is.

It's a complex and complicated mess.

>>77637809
>Not even the Civil war, because then you start making people uncomfortable and start having to answer hard questions.
There are history books in the south that are glossing over that era, as well as the civil rights era too.

America don't like to talk about it's nastier history and that's why nobody knows anything.
I'm sure only a handful of people know how exactly the American ghettos were formed in the first place.

Black people moved North from Southern rural areas, and their incredible levels of criminality caused everyone else to move out of neighborhoods they moved into and soon afterwards led to every other ethnic and racial group conspiring to keep them out of their neighborhoods.

It became a viscous cycle - the minute black folks (usually the middle class, hard working ones) moved into a new neighborhood to escape their old criminal neighbors, real estate agents would start pushing the locals to sell cheap and move out before everything fell to shit. And with property values depressed like that, who should move in but the very same criminal neighbors they were trying to escape in the first place.

>>77643131
>There are history books in the south that are glossing over that era

I haven't been in high school for about 8 years, but the Civil War was talked about quite a lot. You want a good example of something American history glosses over? The fucking extermination of the natives. That shit only shows up for like, one paragraph in our history books.

That's because the average black person doesn't even know these two even exist.

And the only reason Obama wasn't seen as a Uncle Tom because he's a Democrat, which is pretty fucking hilariously ironic, considering the Democrats history. Hell, the main Democrats still to this day only do things that are convenient for them and liking black people is convenient atm.

>>77637696
No you didn't. You were a fucking weirdo prick who thought yourself above everyone else because of your "high gpa" and like of anime( funny as plenty of blacks are into anime) you tell yourself they didn't like you because you're educated but as was stated multiple time their are plenty well educated and successful blacks who are not called "uncle toms"

McGruder hates "black culture" with a passion that even /pol/ couldn't dream of having because he sees it as being a artificially constructed social trap that black americans are pigeon holed into by themselves and the media.
I always interpreted Tom as being what black culture sees actually successful black men as (a uncle tom) which is why despite all of his success Tom is petty,cowardly jealous,and paranoid.
Everyone in the boondocks is a caricature of some kind of stereotype.

>>77603416
Themselves usually it's bizarre one of the worst neighborhoods and one of the nicest in my city are separated by like a quarter mile and absolutely none of the crime in the bad area ever seems to spill out from it because the people who live their just avoid the nice neighborhood like the plague.
Most ghettos are areas where the people who live there just turn it into a insular community and force all outsiders out which causes it to stagnate.

The Uncle Tom term originates from the minstrel plays that were "adaptations" of the book (they were the equivalent of hollywood adaptations in terms of faithfulness).

>>77646172
He doesn't hate "black culture" per say, he just hates the low-brow crap that black people get into or other strange social phenomenon that effect black people like "the nigga moment". There's an encroaching idea that "black culture" means whatever people throw up on worldstar or is on BET is what black culture is, when in reality, it's something you can't answer so easily.

Imagine if whatever people saw on MTV is all that people thought of your culture is and wouldn't give you the benefit of doubt unless you jump through a bunch of mental hoops to prove otherwise. It'd drive you crazy.

You know how the GI Bill helped create the American suburbs, right?

Well, black soldiers weren't getting their GI Bill payments. It was promised to everyone who fought, but you had to get it through your local services, and they said it was pretty much a near impossible up hill battle. People would just refuse to give the loans to black soldiers. With no money or anywhere else to go, they had to go to the ghetto.
Add redlining and white flight to the mix.

It's not a big coincidence that so many black people live in these areas right next to each other, this was planned.

That is literally how black culture is defined.
Outside of this prevailing meme of thuggery and anti-education,low brow, anti-ambition, gibsmedat bullshit black culture as a single universal prevailing culture that all black people in the world identify with is non existent for the exact same reason that a single universal "white culture" does not exist.

>>77646765
>The ghettos were formed by forcing people to live there.

Yes but nobody is keeping them there anymore they can and sometimes do move.
Most old ghettos have become gentrified in the last few decades meanwhile new ghettos form because of what I said because groups of people will shun anyone one from the outside while their neighborhoods fester.

>>77646765
>There's an encroaching idea that "black culture" means whatever people throw up on worldstar or is on BET is what black culture is, when in reality, it's something you can't answer so easily.

The problem with gentrification is that it goes hand and hand with pricing out the people already there. There are plenty of people that would absolutely love to stay and reap the benefits of all those hipster dollars but they can't because the rent quadruples and their businesses continue to do poorly because said hipsters are only buying from their own.

More importantly, it implies that there's an inherently "black" way to think about a given issue. There has to be a black stance for their to be an anti-black stance, after all.

Also, reading on within those links I found a pretty cool analogy.

>Suppose the government puts a certain drug in the water supply, saying it makes people kinder and more aware of other people’s problems and has no detrimental effects whatsoever. A couple of conspiracy nuts say it makes your fingers fall off one by one, but the government says that’s ridiculous, it’s just about being more sensitive to other people’s problems which of course no one can object to. However, government employees are all observed drinking bottled water exclusively, and if anyone suggests that government employees might also want to take the completely innocuous drug and become kinder, they freak out and call you a terrorist and a shitlord and say they hope you die. If by chance you manage to slip a little bit of tap water into a government employee’s drink, and he finds out about it, he runs around shrieking like a banshee and occasionally yelling “AAAAAAH! MY FINGERS! MY PRECIOUS FINGERS!”

>At some point you might start to wonder whether the government was being entirely honest with you.
