“A private nigga moment embarasses you, a public nigga moment shames the whole race.”

This is more of a question than an actual post I guess. I was just wondering how people are feeling the Boondocks cartoon. The first episode I saw didn’t really move me, but as the episodes progress I like it more and more. The Boondocks was the only reason I bothered to read the paper. I mean when you can get your news off the net I figure I might as well keep my change for parking meters. Not only did I love the Boondocks, but I loved the fact that it seemed to scare mainstream America so much. I was talking to a friend in San Diego while it was on one night and she said they don’t have it in their paper and she has to buy the LA Times just to read it. The thing I realized after a few episodes was that instead of an external kind of view the cartoon is going internal. The strip might talk about whatever stupid thing Bush did this week. The cartoon tends to focus on the stupid things we do, watch and are involved in. As a matter of fact it makes me want to test the chair theory. Theory being that if you throw a chair in a crowd full of black people it’ll start a riot…even if no one gets hit. Anyway let me know what ya’ll think, in the mean time I have to remember to bring a folding chair to my next all-staff meeting.
