The Boondocks 3 x 1 Reaction! "It's A Black President Huey Freeman" 

Huey said it best: “What’s the point of talking if no one ever learns?”

Man, this episode was so ahead of its time. Aaron McGruder absolutely called it on Obama. His campaign was full of hope, but ultimately it turned out just the same as any other president. He bailed out the banks, helped disband Occupy Wallstreet, expanded ice, state surveillance, and drone strikes, and basically stifled any real change. However, there's no denying the election of the first black president is still a huge milestone and worth celebrating, so I guess you gotta take the victories where you can. At least That Thugnificient song is a jam. Also, Werner Herzon absolutely kills it this episode.

J Cole said it best “That's what I get for thinking/This world is fair, they let a brother steer the ship and never told him that the ship was sinking”

The first time I watched this episode I didn't think too much about Huey's indifference but now I understand. I'm still happy that Barak Obama was president of the US but just because we had a black president dosen't mean "the black struggle" will stop. I guess the moral of this story is never get your hopes up.

"This is the most depressing fucking kid I have ever met in my life." Come to think of it I don't actually think I can recall Huey ever smiling let alone laughing.

Ya'll might not have recognized him, but the voice and likeness of the documentary director in this episode was the Imperial General dude from the Mandalorian lol. His name is Werner Herzog, he has done documentaries in this style throughout his career. He's a great sport for hopping on this show!

“Here is the danger of too much hope, skeptics are treated as blasphemers and indifference becomes equal to hate.” That may be one of the greatest boondocks lines of all time and why this is my favorite episode besides the MLK and BET episode. And it’s no wonder there’s been a moral panic building since then to the point were nowadays just a slight suspicion of “wrong think“ create a media fire storm of irrational bullshit the likes of which never seen before so much so that it’s gotten to the point where smiling FUCKING SMILING is now racist, just ask the media tantrum at Covington. WOW.... JUST WOW I mean there’s first world problems and then there’s.... whatever the fuck that was. 😏

The Boondocks Season 3. Nowhere to go but up✊!

I always wondered if Obama actually watched this show. Imagine his reaction

Largely, Huey seemed like he was just indifferent about a Black president. He knew it wouldn't bring any actual change, but everyone else got on him for not celebrating it. Riley's general reason for rooting for Obama was just because he was Black. That would probably be just about every Black person who was voting for him. Me myself, I was excited to just have a Black president back when this was happening (I was in my Sophomore year in high school back in '08). Grandad feels like he actually did something to make all that happen when he did little to nothing. Whether he's being senile or just wants to feel like he's owed something (just like many other Black people who believe they're owed something for their suffering). P.S. I'm Black so don't get on me for speaking the truth.

Huey's reaction to Obama running for and becoming president fit perfectly with his character. He's cynical and an extreme realist. Yes Obama becoming president is undoubtedly a huge historical moment and him winning did inspire hope for people and the younger generation which is of course a good thing. But ultimately him becoming president doesn't mean or change anything. Also y'all definitely had two more episodes to go for season 2. Hope y'all at least watched them because The Hunger Strike and The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show were the best episodes of Season 2.

Bruh I was crying the first time I heard this song 😂😂😂

15:59 Rob tryna pretend he isn't as dumb after he couldn't name 2 branches of government

Huey wasn’t lying

Is this the season where huey playes kickball and the season where them two old people fight huey and riley

Tom wife was a representation of the whyte woman who is infatuated with black men

9:21 Pat was killin dat shit🤣🔥

When Obama was denouncing Huey it was how Obama denounced The Honorable minister Louis Farrakhan. When he got pressed by Hilary.

Wellz doing that record scratch gotta be one of the best parts of these videos 😂

That interviewer sounds like the guy that wanted baby yoda from the Mandalorian

They need to keep this same boondocks theme song in the reboot

We gotta play “Thuggin’ Love” at Pat’s wedding. 🔥

Love ya'll reactions keep up the fire work

Hands down, best episode.

So I decided to look up if the show was actually implying that Sarah f*cked Obama, and cheated on Tom, and the wiki literally confirms that she did. But no other site makes reference to it, stating that her biggest point of unfaithfulness to Tom was acting like a huge fan of Usher in an upcoming episode. So, I don’t know who to believe. All I’ll say is that she did NOT come across as someone who would cheat on Tom in earlier seasons. She seemed like a caring, genuine house wife. I have no idea why her personality changed like that. Really, go back and watch the episode she was first introduced. The camera work is clearly trying to imply that Tom, despite his shortcomings, nabbed a grade A wife. So this just completely confuses me, because that episode was seeming to imply that everyone else was in the wrong for harassing Tom for marrying a white woman, but how they presented her at the end was meant to imply that she was a good woman, and it didn’t matter what anyone else thought. Now this episode is basically implying that he was wrong to marry the white woman. It sacrifices a touching moment from an earlier season, simply for a joke, and I’m not a fan of that. And once again, why does everyone in this show have to treat Tom so poorly? What did he do? It’s funny when life sh*ts on Ruckus, since he’s an awful person, but Tom has only ever been a loving husband and father. All he had was his job, wife, and daughter, and now the show is heavily implying that his wife is unfaithful to him. That’s such bullsh*t. Like, I’d be fine with it if it was always implied that she was cheating on Tom, but this literally just came out of nowhere, like the writers decided they wanted a new way to ruin Tom’s life.

Their missing the last 2 episodes of s2

Main branches are Executive, judicial and... well idk the 3rd.

guaranteed 3 of you didn't know 2 of the branches...smdh...you probably thought main branch was right and then side and olive branch..

You have to go back to the Boondocks comics to get the domestic terrorist moniker with Huey.

the point of this episode is pretty clear if you guys paid attention to the nuisance instead of expecting it to be spelled out and said out right for you while you just laugh and wait for comedy and look past the commentary .... huey doesn't say much and everything he feels is proven correct...literally....remember no one listens anyways...for once he shut his mouth and look everyone learned their lesson and kinda saw his point of view without him saying one thing to them....tom thugnificent riley robert all realized nothing changed...ruckus while racist dumb and crazy is on to something with his initial point which is why he says he and huey are on the same page sorta but he just goes too far with it obviously into looney tunesville......obama is just a puppet..like they all are..he was just the black one to get black people back on america's side after bush ruined that relationship

You guys need to get the season 2 dvd and react to the banned BET and Uncle Ruckus Show episodes. Also the Tyler Perry episode as well.

Y'all gonna watch the banned episodes? In this season there's the Tyler Perry one and Jimmy Rebel

You're missing the bet episodes from season 2

lol i think it was Diddy with his Vote Or DIE thing thing. It was hella pop stars doing commercials and stuff so the vibe seems pretty spot on.

What's up with the dude on the left

In my opinion, this is the best season of the show.

What about the BET episode and "Uncle Ruckus Reality Show?"

Uncle Ruckus makes me think about Jessie Lee Peterson too often.

9:20 my man on the right has that white-boy Clooney groove nailed and I'm here for it.

Please don't react to season 4 it deserves no acknowledgment.

I think y’all missed the last two episodes of season 2

Awesome video

Noooo yall skipped the BET episode from season 2?!, that was fixing to be the best one yet too...

Huey's problem with Obama isn't that complicated. He's a socialist, Obama is a neoliberal. Huey would prefer someone like Cornel West, or probably even Bernie Sanders even though he isn't black.

Why didn’t you watch the rest of the season 2 episodes.

Is that Christoph Waltz narrating?

Jack and Ebony, can't fucking wait!

No Uncle Ruckus Reality Show? 🤔😦

Jerry where is 1x15 my dude that was like my FAV episode 👀👀😡😡

I can’t wait till the chicken episode

You know for a fact that Sarah got a train ran on her in D.C.

Never been this early before 👀👀

the euro dude is the creepy guy who wants baby yoda in mandalorian

You guys are missing a couple episodes. and u gotta watch it uncensored

When I was in junior high, I was reading Bloom County, later when I was older Boondocks showed up on the scene and McGruder really brought some fresh fire to the comics page. It's cool that you were a similar age when this came out (almost jealous) and love that you are re watching this now from your older perspective. I couldn't believe how good this show was and this episode, while exaggerating things for effect, was amazing.

And I see the inauguration of odama 2 on 📺

Back when I first watched this episode I didn't understand Huey's dislike for Obama ..... But after researching his background and the powers that BE and how he was controlled opposition ... I completely understand Huey's opinion on Obama

read some books on black left-radicalists and wake up.

Uncle Ruckus’ anti-Obama rants are the funniest part of this episode.

Dude on the left ain’t find nothing funny 😂😂😂😂😂

Nice reaction. Guys react on katrina kaif s Ishk shava full song with the beat dancing. You guys will love it

What is popping

24:21 I cant believe Rob sounds so ignorant here too, he say ppl shouldnt be judging just cus black ppl voted Obama just cus hes black. The man he rooted was the President to have the most drone strikes ordered againts Afghanistanis n Iraqis in middle east. The same way Ronald Regan greenlit the support of Contras in South America. He prioritizes his insecurities of his perceived lack of representatiom when it was about electing new good leadership. Rob so dumb he missed the point. Obama was still a part of the capitalist system that continued to displace countless ppl of Middle east after Bush n Reagan. This episode serves as a clear warning about how political parties saying whatever shi to tug the heartstrings of ppl, no matter what color. Never mind if they fullfill the promises or not. Their only mission is to make you vote for them. N if that works they do whatever agenda they like. Skin has nothing to do with how great of leader you are. This isnt some Fasion show Rob, ppl die from voting wrong ppll, even till this day in Palestine. US continues to elect imperialist Presidents who step on the lives of the third world people.

REACT TO BLACKPINK UNHELPFUL GUIDE 2019 VERSION PLEASE😭❤️

Honestly looking back after a decade, I don't think Bush was that bad of a president, not a great or maybe even good, just had the shittiest luck of any president. Nobody or minority foresaw some of the shit he had to deal with 9/11, Katrina, housing crisis to the recession. Obama didn't change shit but my high school lunch and racked the debt, he continued whatever Bush did, who was trying to pull out of the Middle East already. I won't even mention more on Trump besides showing Nixon and Clinton should have tried to ride out their scandals.

Plz react song husn prcham

You should always vote. Part of the reason we don't see the change we want is because people don't participate and don't vote. At least vote third party if you insist on wasting your vote, lol. The amount of nonvoters dwarfs the amount of regular voters. People _can_ make the changes they want. They just choose not to because they're lazy or uninformed about the power they have.

I don't agree with Rob often lol this is one of those rare occasions. Obama could have done a lot more but they made it clear from the beginning that they would block him at every path. It gives hope that just maybe the next could build on that although given the current state of things who knows

Yall got some trump supporters in the comments😒
