I'm wondering why you felt the need to bold and blue this.

I'm not even necessarily saying to change the character up to make him grow, I'm just saying make his something word choice different/funny, but on the same point. I mean, it's repetition, over repetition, over repetition. Chappelle had Tyrone Biggums who said the same basic thing, "I like Crack,", but he had complete variations on where/when/the situations/who he was around/how/the construction in what he was saying, all of which kept me laughing. Why can't Ruckus have that?? Why can't that Crack Loving Guy from the PJs have that??

Why does The Count always count?

But i also want to know, do most Black americans really hate the Boondocks cartoon/comic?

I never saw the episodes (thankfully), but I hated most of the comic strips. There were a few good ones, but most were just.....ugh. It's own "black satire" is what killed it.
Curtis is much, MUCH better.

Thankful for what? Not watching a cartoon? Is it because Aaron McGruder was'nt afraid to satire the truth along with stereotypes providing a message at the end that struck a nerve to make you feel guilty?
Im a Black Man and The Boondocks is one of the most Funny and Thought invoking cartoons to ever come out.
I read The Boondocks strip and i still read Curtis since i was in the 4th grade and Curtis is completely different obviously.
Im glad that Uncle rucker is is in the cartoon and the cartoon is considered Canon now. Yeah the Fight Scenes are doone by Madhouse (Cowboy Bebop, Desert Punk) and its seems to have more of them but thats only to draw a newer audience.

The key word there is "own."  I see nothing black involved in any aspect of that show. All I see is the same thing repeated, repeated, and repeated . I mean, I've seen kids laugh at Uncle Ruckus saying, "I love white people. I hate black people." for 30-something episodes.

Do you know what Uncle Ruckus character is for?
He does'nt just say he hates Black people for no reason. He explains and Rants because Aaron McGruder uses his expression say what white uppity people think about Ignorant Blacks in High Cirlces. If Uncle Ruckus was a white man Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and all the other Non N-word using activist would have work for the next 5 years protesting the show. Only cause Aaron McGruder (The creator) is Black this is Overlooked most of the time.

I guess you'd be the perfect person to ask [I mean at least you added a little reason], what exactly is it about that show that makes you, err ah, people, actually laugh?_?

Since im People i'll just say the Show is actually good because its hits the satiracle parts right on the head.
I mean Did you ever see the episode with Thugnificent's version of cribs? The overexaggeration on the references is what make it worthwhile.
Look at this scene where riley platinum chain that Thugnificent gave him gets stolen and he goes back to get it.
Pay attention to who has the chain. Yeah a White Kid, A Big White Kid who appears on Maury show and Knock out the Scared straight mediator lol! Not so stereotypical is'nt it?
Its show the same shit happens to anybody White or Black.

Funny part is he takes busta rhymes with him to get the chain back.
You have to see what happen after that and the message that goes with it.

OK (TAO), it came
The War is going to start.

That part we get. We're just saying the cartoon is stupid. It lacks form, it lacks writing, it lacks funny. The idea is interesting, but still it is just/only the "timeless" cliche that people keep laughing at over and over, and somehow never get tired of. Come on, we've seen this time and time again; you could actually accompany the show with something 'funny,' rather than just the god damn idea, right?

First of all, WTF point are you making, and how in the hell does that relate to what we've been saying?
I could care less about whether you liked him or not. What I'm saying is that in EVERY SINGLE Episode, of  EVERY SINGLE season all he says is the same thing over and over again and people somehow never cease to get tired. If you like him, that's fine, but I think people that those that have still laughed after the umpteenth time, are forcing it, or don't know what it is that they're laughing about at all. Yeah, obviously there's a point in having the character, but come on. You can't change him a bit out of 2,3,4 seasons?? You can't give me something clever rather than the same iold lines??
Yes, a black person heads the whole operation, and yes, it would be the good thing to do to support that black person, but if that black person sits up and starts taking advantage of my blind support, why the Fuck should I still sit in his/her corner.
If the work is SHIT, I am gone. I don't give a damn who heads it after that.

Only time I heard about Boondocks was when there was a lot of fuss with African American groups trying to take him off the air for the Martin Luther King episode.

Fixed.
I'm not doing these things as a joke, I want to make that correct.

Damn! excuse me for just talking. I was just saying something to keep the topic going. Sometimes i forget who im talking too. Sometimes ya'll get too sensitive in this forum.
Funny how Peter Griffin is funny at everybody else's expense but he cool though cause he's white.

[/spoiler]
No, what I was saying is that your points came out of, well, wherever they came from. You may have wanted to keep the topic going, but by quoting our points and answering in the way you did, you made points that were totally unrelated to our points at all.
That sentence about peter Griffin didn't make sense to me  . Where did the part about him being cool because he's white come from, concerning this thread?? Of the episodes I've watched, nothing racially serious/significant ever happened. BTW, isn't Peter Griffin a black slave's descendant?_?
[BTW, I think Family Guy sucks now. Season 1-2.5 were pretty good. On -> ]

There is no need to get p'Od at each other, were discussing Black Video game figures and the Stereotypes in video games.

Regarding African American Characters in Fighting games... man it just got tense in here :gulp:

back in the early days, i suppose it was simply an evolution of character and art, but simply the portraits of some of the fictional african american characters is... god awful ugly in my opinion, take skate from streets of rage and brown bullet from agressors of dark combat. Such ugly children. Before anyone screams racist yes i am african american, and no i'm not even gonna touch Lucky Glauber and SNK+Black People = Basketball that's something for another place. your thoughts and opinions??
