      You can’t deny though that more often than not Riley is just an unrepentant little sh*t. Hell I’m writing a fanfic where his babysitter (but Robert calls him a warden) where the unfortunate teen tasked with making sure Huey Riley and Huey don’t kill each other is always calling Riley an unrepentant little sh*t (when off-duty), Riley in turn calls him “chilli cracker” on account of him being a white, redhead and doesn’t care for the older teen at all but when Riley mouths off to the wrong person his warden is there to save him from a whooping. He even tells Riley “I know *you* are not stupid, but you make stupid *choices.”*
      Sure Riley has his good points but he’s still a little sh*t most of the time 🤣🤣🤣

      And the brilliance of this scene too is that Huey got stuck watching BET to try and understand it. He went from being a kind, compassionate and intelligent young man to a vegetable watching programming that was bad for him.
      Whereas with Robert the memories of his son slowly came back, with Huey you see him snap out of it immediately. As if all the love and compassion his parents gave him came flooding back in that moment.

      Color of Ruckus has some really emotional moments in Season 3. Gangstalicious pt. 2 from season 2 can bring a tear to your eye at the end when you think about how everyone turned on him and made him a pariah just because he was gay. Every season had at least one episode that brought out the thug tears. I do agree so far as this was probably the most touching moment out of all of them though.

    First time I saw this I couldn't believe that scene! It was beautiful! Riley really dugged inside himself when the art teacher told him "Let's paint a picture of...someone who's not here with us anymore." I think I cried alittle when I saw this and Tom Scott song playing sampled by Pete Rock and CL Smooth and you hear the horns! I'm not sure but I heard rumors of the show that Huey and Riley parents died. When this show started I thought Huey and Riley's mom couldn't give her kids a better life so she let them live with their grandfather! Thought the father might've died before they was born!..Anyway I gotta feeling what Riley painted had to be his grandmother and grandfather! If anybody looked when Riley looked at some old photos from the basement they was black and white wedding pictures had to be in the 60's! I'm pretty sure if their parents were married their wedding pics had to be in the 90's they had color back then!
    The Boondocks should've had a better last season! It seemed like it was different writers for different episodes putting a twist to their own creativity! You can look on wikipedia it didn't had Aaron McGruder in no writing category they had some chinese or japanese and american writers on this season! It was a complete waste! McGruder made Boondocks for what it is I remember reading them in the sunday newspaper when I was younger! He could've did one more entry to exit the season and forever.
    This was one of the greatest episodes of Boondocks along with Wingmen!

    I loved this scene. It's powerful scenes like this that gives you a great and/or heavy feeling towards this and yourself, all while keeping it's comedic nature _(as seen clearly at the end of this video. It mixed in well, in my opinion. Hilarious)_.
    Now, even though I enjoyed S4 of the Boondocks myself _(despite the many noticeable problems many people already pointed out that I can understand)_, there unfortunately isn't anything in there as great as scenes like this _(to my knowledge)_ that you usually get from the first and second seasons of the Boodocks.

Emotionless craziness for the sake of craziness.
