    I enjoy watching interviews with Aaron. Did you notice how he corrected the newscaster "He said Nigga...not the N word". That should give you a clue with whom you are dealing. Aaron stands behind and in front of his work and does not apologize. I understand the some people might get offended by the language of his shows or the way the point is right in your face. But thats his job as a satirist...right up there with Carlin and Pryor, just to name a few.

    People seem to forget how many in his own time thought of Dr.King as a traitor because before his death in 68 he was campaigning heavily against American involvement in Vietnam. He was considered public enemy no 1 by the FBI. There’s no way this man would’ve been for American interventionism in the Middle East, even in the face of the horrors of 911. Y’all saw what they did to the Dixie chicks, and they were just some country singers who had won some Grammies. Anyone who stood out from American jingoism from 2001-2005 was perceived a threat.

    I am enamoured with Aaron M. Such an intelligent (and hot) man. I don't always agree with every point made on the Boondocks but I have to commend him for trying to stimulate discourse. He's clearly someone who is engaged and not ashamed to employ his brain cells which is more than can be said for many. I really like the way he holds his ground in this interview. He doesn't cower yet keeps his sense of humour throughout. And the MLK episode is 1 of the funniest from series 1.

    @flemingia 13 лет назад +2

    The fact he's black doesn't do much for me. What strikes me is how brilliant of a satirist he is. I think the series of The Boondocks is picking up where All In The Family left off and I personally would rank Mr. McGruder up there with the likes of Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

      @larrygilliam8268 5 лет назад

      I think your right to a point, But they are asking the question for those who don't know and wanna understand what's this about, that their job asking questions that the masses wanna know or should know about, some times they know what's what and some times they are as clueless and wanna know also.

    " We don`t use the n word, we say nigga! " Aaron is funny as hell and that episode was one of the best on The Boondocks because even though it was just comedy, some of the points MLK was talking about was the truth!

  • @Turtleproof
    @Turtleproof 16 лет назад +1

    McGruder is an extremely smart, well-spoken man, it's no wonder the TV news will only air him on the late-late shows. The only rolemodels and tutors of color available to viewers during daytime TV are Al Roker and Lil' Wayne, which is a total travesty.

  • @bryanferryfan
    @bryanferryfan 14 лет назад

    Only a small percentage of African Americans cherished the old ways of Hard Work... Respecting our Families... Respecting and teaching our children.... Respecting our Communities...Respecting Each Other.... Respectin Women and Having a MORAL COMPASS. I think Dr. King would probably say something like this in real life. It's a satire or social commentary on how far down we've gone in 40 some odd years. It's no-ones fault but our own. Can't blame McGruder for pointing that out.

  • @Reytakang
    @Reytakang 16 лет назад +2

    He does look like Huey grown up! That's what I thought while watching it. Judging by the way he talks Huey is probably based on him as well.

    5:16 true respect, unlike bullshit accolades from sycophants, Aaron's satire is great because he really holds credence to people like MLK
    Best interview he ever did, wish he would come back with some crazy Verve!

  • @Pdorcely
    @Pdorcely 14 лет назад

    @N1N4 I soooo agree with you! I'm an African-American and I know excately what he's talking about. He was saying "IF you are a nigga you WOULD do this or that" Not saying all black people are niggas. For example, he said "Niggas don't do nothing until it almost too late" or something like that. I knew people who were like that. So you are right. They focused on him saying nigga instead of realizing he was giving a definition of a nigga in his speech. Peace!

  • @JohnBrody23
    @JohnBrody23 14 лет назад +1

    . If you use the word "nigga" in everyday speech but know it doesn't degrade you because in the end words are just that, then I think you're fine. I mean in the end only you can ever truly define yourself, I mean constantly getting angry when someone who isn't black says "nigger" only shows the person that you allow yourself to be demeaned so easily. And They'll just say it again to piss you off, because they know how much it affects you. The Boondocks is kinda like a Black South park to me.

  • @DiamondEubanks
    @DiamondEubanks 16 лет назад

    Absolutely!! I think especially with this episode, some people( ie: the woman interviewing Mcgruder) missed the point. In my opinion, he was trying to show us(the blk communt.)instead of moving forward with all of the hardwork that MLK and his organization sacrificed for us, we have gone backwards for the most part. And he is probaly rolling around in his grave(MLK) as we speak. Thats why I like Mcgruder. He does not sugar coat anything and that helps 2 make him a great satirist.

    @Ken64livindalife 14 лет назад

    Anyone else think that Aaron's trying to make a point in this whole episode he was so called "pushing the envelope" here? Sort of like to open our eyes at what's really happening. Sure it's a cartoon, but that doesn't change the fact that the content on the Boondocks can also be seen in real life. I like him because he's not afraid to express his opinions even on live television while that reporter is trying to put him down. This guy's a great role model

  • @yesveronica

  • @WiseAilbhean
    @WiseAilbhean 16 лет назад

    Damn. you hit the nail on the head. I hate how people like Oprah and Cosby stress how black people should stop using the word. And then people from other races for example white americans, want us to stop using it on the radio. All of them, Oprah, Cosby, white folks, want to say. oh that word hurts people I'm black and the last thing I want is to be offended by a word used to describe me. so I say "My nigga to my niggas!" Being offended by nigga only instills it's negative power.TAKEthePOWERaway

  • @thetrueempress

    @grinerr 16 лет назад

    I love the fact that he's speaking truth without apology and without fear of reprisal. You're right Turtleproof... Poverty is poverty and unfort there are far more people in this country experiencing extreme lack then popular culture would like us to believe. Most of us are not living the carefree life of Paris Hilton. This manufactured outrage is laughable. Who's offended by Boondocks?? Often we need to be offended so we say enough it enough and start brainstorming solutions.

  • @CaiNdAWicKeD1
    @CaiNdAWicKeD1 14 лет назад

    for a lady who says that "he" is coming down hard on the black community she seems to be coming down hard on him when she doesn't seem to care about this black mans logic. cause honestly as black man we haven't progressed as much we could or should have. just cause there are some successful black people we are still fighting in ways to gain from what Dr. Martin Luther King already fought to progress

  • @Unmourned
    @Unmourned 17 лет назад

    Yeah, she's critical all right. But that's the job of a journalist; to take everything that's said with a grain of salt, and to let the interviewee give their interpretation of a subject. At least they didn't turn off his mic and shout at him.

    I love Aaron and the show. I have to applaud the respectable debating thats going on here.
    My only problem was with Oprah being elected at the end of the show, and Aaron having that horrible excuse/reasoning for it! Oprah is the epitome of the de-cultured black community, and in a nutshell, all the Tom Dubois in America! If anyone is white, it's Oprah. The episode was truthful in some light, but that last part was just for comical relief, I hope to God I never see a day where Oprah run for pres!

    I love this episode. MLK, Gandhi, Bayard Rustin and other peace activists would get marginalized in today's society.

    not the case anymore.People nowadays are more open to equality and freedom that allows all races to exist together. There are still racists out there (and ur apparantly one of them)that will make moving on more difficult but we are still moving in the right direction. There is no one alive today whom we could blame for slavery, and you must learn to love everyone. I hope you bothered to read this and to use it to help open your mind and heart. :)

    ...You obviously didn't read what I posted, as I clearly said "amazing what many people (IN THIS CASE BLACKS, as stated above)will do for a large sum of money and fleeting fame..." I'm well aware of what 'people period' will do for money and fame. However, since the subject was black people, I preferred not to deviate from that.

  • @bryanferryfan
    @bryanferryfan 14 лет назад

    @fecoupefe I disagree. It's satire. The Boondocks started out as a comic strip and still runs in newspapers to this very day. I think it needs to be aired because it's a cautionary series. It shows the world how low we have sunk in our morals and mores our attitudes towards ourselves and others. Let's face it .. our problems as a group can no longer be blamed on others. We have to be responsible parents, citizens and people. Not McGruders fault that he's highlighting our shortcomings.

    @lasoogneypubes Wrong!
    Best AMERICAN comedy EVER.
    Aaron Mcgruder is the greatest satirist since Thomas Nast. I am on the opposite spectrum of a lot of his political beliefs, but I hope to God Almighty that this man can save the country from itself.
    He is probably one of the few people that see the essential problems and soullessness of our society.
