I love this show. While alot of the stuff said about white people is very racist, if you look at the context and subtext of the show and who the people are it is really not that offensive. And the way they portray everyone in the show is a stereotype anyway. The funniest show to me has to be one of the newer ones where the grandfather leaves to go on vacation and the huey turns the house into a prison. Other then that best episode is deffinatly Return of the King. In that episode MLK got shot and went into a comma allowing him to wake up in the modern day. This episode is amazing and speaks a lot of truth.

When is this show on? Sounds funny. Does it have anything to do with the movie "The Boondock Saints"?

No it is based off of the cartoon strip in the paper. Also called The Boondocks.

It is on Adult swim later at night.

The Return of the King episode was great! Aaron McGruder pulls no punches in laying out some of black america's issues with frankness and humor. I think the stuff said about white people is more about rich white people than anything and isn't racist. I've always thought the stereotypes us white folk get are pretty lame, unless you're that black comic who can do the "white voice" with some creativity. And if its funny its making you laugh.

I really don't think that it is racsist either I say that so people who are really sensitive to things like that know what they are getting into.
