Aaron McGruder - "White America has been watching us act like fools..."

[Mandarin Duck]

The behavior of black people in America does not correlate with the historical experiences this country has put us through.

We didn't land on Plymouth Rock....y'all know the rest.

Still love The Boondocks

It was a parody of this

I mean, that’s still embarrassing AF

I liked the comics, but didn’t like the show. It was a bit obvious that he was looking down on Black folks. Donald Glover followed his “I’m better than other Blacks” blueprint of nerdy breh + Black social commentary+ Asian wife. Dave Chapelle is borderline part of this group too.

Maybe because we both know we are capable of holding a higher standard and they know their shyt stinks? Idk just throwing that out there

See @Scustin Bieburr 's last post as one of examples I mean. That might be wishful thinking on your part.

This thread happens to coincide with the Georgia school shooting, of course perpetrated by a Cac but will young cac males be generalized and all cast with the same brush

Why did it really end?

McGruder is a hoe ass nikka. Carl Johnson (co-creator/Thugnificent) broke the ice about the whole situation earlier this year with Vlad. Basically, it ended because they fell out with each other and it started when Johnson got the green light from Adult Swim and Sony to create Black Dynamite while he was also working on Boondocks. Johnson felt like Mcgruder was doubting whether he could do production for both and that eventually led to Carl noticing Aaron switching up on him and starting arguments over little shyt. Carl came to the conclusion that Aaron wanted to keep him under his wing and didn’t want him to shine on his own shyt. Between them falling out and pressure from the network and deadlines, Aaron said fukk it and quit the show while season 3 was only half way done with production.

After season 3, Adult Swim and Sony begged them to patch things up. Carl reached out to Aaron and asked him to come back to the show. Aaron said NO and they haven’t spoken since. This was like 13 years ago.

I think he's spot on, truth hurts tho.

Same people in here calling him a c00n for this, are expecting white people to give us reparations

 

[RAX 010]

Now y'all new blacks hate aaron Mcgruder
Damn take me back to 2005 please
Where is my delorean?

 

[DonRe]

I dont think that perspective aged well.
The way it was
Presented doesnt allow white people to answer for there ignorance.


There is something to it though. Because what many of ya who call him names and shyt fail to realize is, this country is white peoples. They have the power.

Therefore, its on them to fix it and decide how shyt should go. Whether you like it or not.

Every poc can become successful and millionaires. It wont matter. The goalpost will move. The exclusion will occur. The lack of compassion will resonate. Unless white people decide it otherwise.
