    Said it once and I’ll say it again. I think this is the only season that excels at blending comedy with such resonate emotional moments. I love this episode because it touches upon on deep themes such as faith, identity, injustice and self loathing. Also getting to see a more vulnerable side to the otherwise stoic and cynical Huey was pretty great.
    We can all laugh at how utterly outrageous the character of Ruckus is depicted. But whose to say that some people don’t go about their lives with the same mentality, but are just better at hiding it? 😅 There goes the Boondocks again pointing a satirical but dark mirror at society. Brilliant season!!👍🏾

      My US History class didn't even make it to the second half of the 20th century (and apparently that's not uncommon). And definitely didn't give us enough on the Reconstruction to understand why it was so important to understanding all the race stuff of the 20th century. I loved history as a subject, but am very disappointed how much they leave out. And yet still people freak out if you teach them 1/10 of the truth.

    Thats point was only related to the creation of the Crips through. It was a neighborhood protection idea but as they grew the message kinda got loss. I believe it was a teen at a high school who got bullied by some other teens who were Crips and to protect himself gathered friends to defend himself and others. They went on later to create the Bloods.

    For granddad, he sees Ruckus as that ignorant lost Black person, like so many in our communities...but they are still our people and so we have to look out for them. Black people, come from many great virtues...one of which is not casting out those that are lost or turning your back on them, you lead them back into the fold. This is also reminisce in the Bible where you are told to be your brother's keeper...and that a good shepherd goes out to find his lost sheep and bring it home.

They had the actual criminal in custody, they had no DNA evidence, they have video footage of the "detectives" interrogating one of the boys feeding him the story telling him that if he admits it he'll go home which he believed because he was special needs and knew no better. That one testimony put those boys away. And the wildest part is even now that they're out, netflix did a documentary about the shady shit, and my cousin wrote a book about the experience they've received no compensation for the 2 decades stolen from them.
