I love how the black woman turns to the white woman like "You never told me you were white, biatch!", like, she's been sitting beside you all the trial!
Is that it? That she never noticed the woman next to her was white? Or that the woman had a mixed-race child? No. What set her off was the married part. Seeing her as some skanky white ho that got knocked up by a brotha is one thing. But this white woman took a black man off the marriage market... No excusing that! Census info shows that marriage rates for black women have been in decline for decades. Back in 1970 the rate of black women who never married by 45 was 5%. Now it's about 70% of black women are not married and most of them can expect to stay that way. And white women marrying black men get blamed for this (always easier to blame someone else than see any fault in yourself). It's not just some black thing reacting this way. At one of the first jobs my wife had after moving to this country, she wasn't treated well by the bitter older white women working there. But this got worse when they learned (1) that she had her own car, (2) she lived in a nicer part of town than they did, and (because of) (3) being married to a white man who was more successful than their husbands. That last part made it even worse with the one of them who was single because this immigrant woman who had only been in the country for a year and a half had all this having taken a Canadian man off the marriage market.

I love how the gay guy in the jury glared too. What a great show. On the surface it is just full of stereotypes, but at its core it is really using those stereotypes to show how silly racism and prejudice can truly be.
@@chuckbuck5002 so Asians in America got good at standardized testing based on a baseless rumor but felt compelled to change their entire culture to live up to it. Do you realize how stupid that sounds. Yes, some stereotypes suck and they are not universal to where everyone will be as they are expected. But a gambling man would bet on a stereotype being true because they reflect reality more often then they don't. If someone created a rumor about Asians sucking at math, it wouldn't stick because you'd be wrong more than you'd be right and it's embarrassing to be wrong. I'm sorry if you hate a stereotype but that's something a whole group will have to actively fight against being true because to deny reality would be living a lie and dangerous. The whole reason we over generalize is because it's dangerous to not have some default responses when given limited information. FFS, would you tell a kid not to assume a guy in a white van giving out candy and a free ride home is dangerous because it is offensive to the few good people trying to be nice who just match a bad stereotype? The answer is no, because you know it's bad advice and are only a hypocrite on the internet because you think it makes you look like a virtuous person. News flash, nobody on the internet gives a damn about you so why pretend to be noble and pure for their approval?
Usually only done when there's a sound, the sound's official name is the voiceless labialized velar approximant. It's been around since Old English, but most coastal dialects, at least in the US, have lost it. If you live in New England, the sound was lost recently enough that you can sometimes guess a person's age based on if they say or not.
I think the whole point was the draw attention to how Blacks are manipulated with racial rhetoric, not so much about a white guy playing the race card.
It's actually a pretty accurate satire of how group identity and victimhood is valued over an individual trying to do the right thing in today's society. Tom tries to reason with the court this entire episode and gets drowned out by a racial narrative that has nothing to do with the case. The funniest thing is some of the points the defense attorney brings up, i.e Tom being married to a white woman taking away his credibility as a lawyer because the defendant is black, would almost hold up in court today.
I think that something like this happened with the Flyod case. It was never established the chauvin was racially motivated to kill George flyod. In fact, race really had nothing to do with the case. He was literally just a bad police officer that had a habit of power abuse and didn’t give a fuck about human life and finally went too far one day. But because he just so happens to be white, and flyod just so happens to be black, and the idea that the police are racist is already salient in the publics mind, race was the number one thing that was talked about in the media and was constantly hanging over the heads of the lawyers, judges, and jury even as they tried to just focus on the facts. Personally, I think chauvin was guilty. I find it hard to believe you could stand on a man’s neck for that long and then somehow get off when he ends up dead. But there’s people out there that genuinely think chauvin was only convicted to appease a mob and prevent riots, and regardless of whether or not chauvin was genuinely guilty, the idea that he might not have been but they would still fuck him over anyway for that is scary. But the rittenhouse case gives me hope that the legal system has the balls to pull out unpopular decisions when it’s genuinely needed and isn’t intimidated by mobs.
@@crimsonfire6932 The biggest debate regarding the George Floyd incident wasn't weather or not chauvin was a racist but rather police brutality against black people tho.
This cartoon is literally 20 years old. Can you white guys do something else than whine about loosing your privilege. Everything is not a reflection of your specific situation in your specific part of the world… there are no parallels to you. It’s satire on the black community… written by a black person from the same community. Thanks.
There are jury’s that are letting black people get away with actual murder if the victim is white, all because “we can’t put any more black men in jail.” This racial courtroom shit seems pretty fucking relevant to pretty much everyone these days
RIP to Adam west he had the most hilarious parts cause his voice always matched the scene and RIP John Witherspoon sad to see 2 great people on this show gone
For those who don't get it, adam we just used the stereotype that black women don't like black men who are with white women to his advantage considering the jury is mostly BW
@@turtato2155 "poor kids are just as smart and talented as white kids." "I'm running as a proud democrat for the senate." "I will defeat Joe Biden" "we are under TRUINDERNACHIDAPREZUR" "we will get rid of fossil fuels." "I never said we would get rid of fossil fuels!"- Joe Biden
Nothing. This is making fun of people that make a big deal about interracial marriages/couples. Showing that their is racism in the black community as well as the white.
Sommer57 That's the joke. The entire case was stupid because the actual jury found him not guilty more because they liked R. Kelly than anything else. There was actually a lot of evidence against him, but he got off Scott free anyway.
I know this was 2 years ago, but the context of the episode is that Huey is a bit frustrated with the black community right now. He is tired of members of the black community always defending R Kelly and how they either stay willfully ignorant or just deny facts to defend him. He is upset because he knows that they will blame white people and not realize that the fault is with them.
As funny as this scene may be, I'm gonna be realistic and say this: There is nothing wrong with interracial dating or socializing with people outside your race/ethnicity, even then this kinda thing still faces criticism and animosity even to this day.
Yeah, i think there is absolutely nothing wrong with and that should be common sense at this point, and idk why people make a big deal of it, like, people fight for races to be equal and then comes in a bunch of morons to fight exactly against that? And still pretend they are fighting the good fight? Some months ago in my country i saw a crowd protesting, holding a flag/sign that said "miscegenation is also genocide" I am mixed myself, so that made me so really mad i wanted to personally go there and tear off their sign
He somehow managed to slip in an extra h-sound at the beginning of white. "...with a hwhite woman!" But I wouldn't knock Tom on his choice. Sara's pretty and strong-willed, and they made a pretty-damn-adorable child. Usher-issues aside, I'd say their union was worth it.
Montesama314 TBH I agree Jazmine is kinda cute. There's nothing wrong with a black man dating a white woman. C'MON back then black people and white people never got along so they never had kids together like nowadays! Black Men dating White Women is not racism that's just showing now we love each other equally so much that we can get married and have Kids. Nowadays we have a lot of mixed people. That's what happens when a black man and a white woman have a child their child is mixed.
There's no reason to reply to him. If you scroll far enough back to when I made that comment you will in fact see people offended. Honestly have no idea why he replied in the first place.
More than a decade later and this satire still holds up today. The irony being that the defense attorney is a rich old white guy, as evidenced by his posh use of 'Hwhite' accent and that he's a parody of William Kunstler, telling the majority black jury that Tom 'ain't black' for being married to a white woman and winning over the jury when Tom was being sensible the entire episode. It's funny because it satires how the black community are manipulated by identity politics and a shared sense of group victimhood by entities and organizations that don't care about black people to begin with and only see the issues black people face in society as a tool to accomplish their own goals.
Do a lot of these inner-city blacks really think they were the only longtime suppressed group? I think some red-skinned Native Americans would like a word with them. They have a WHOLE MONTH dedicated to their history, when was the last time you saw Native American culture honored apart from maybe guys like Tecumseh or Sitting Bull? Heck, at least many of the African American "hoods" have electricity and running water today, some Native American reservations don't even have that. UNBELIEVABLE how no one seems to acknowledge this.
Ruby Tran Black women(not ratchets or the hoes you see on mtv) have higher expectations for their black men so, the less masculine black men( By masculine I don't mean big muscles I mean a man that's proud of his culture and is a natural leader) end up with white women because white girls don't have those expectations. That's why he said "sadly" because the runts always end up with white women. Understand now? The boondocks puts a humorous spin on real situations found in the black community.
I never got this stereotype..I've never seen or heard black women(that I know) get angry or upset about black men and white women the way their depicted in tv and movies😐
This is an age old stereotype that's an underlying issue in the black community. The most recent example was the Luke Cage actor being married to a white woman and many black people, highlighting black women, were offended and upset that this was a fact. So it's accurate. You as an individual black woman may not care, but there has been other individual black women that came together to voice their negative opinions about black men marrying white woman in the past. Season 1 Boondocks highlighted black issues entirely, and ignoring them simply plays in to the stereotype if black people have absolutely no self awareness, which is what the show repeatedly expounds upon.
Stereotypical J Cole Fan What about them? Black males who criminalize interracial relationships are just as guilty for racism as Black females. I addressed the OP as they wanted to ignore that aspect of behavior in individual black woman. None of what I said stipulates that Black males are innocent of this behavior.
@@hbjetta For starters, I'm black and I grew up in a mixed/blended suburb most of my life, and I can say for certain that anyone who sees interracial relationships as a 'betrayal' to their race are usually sheltered, uncultured, sxpremxclsts who don't have and *never* had any close friends with people that are *not* of their own race -- Such people are small-minded, they live in a bubble, etc... They'll always live like it's still the J.C. era. "she *FELT* black people should raise black families and white people will never understand black people's plight in America. " Keyword FELT. She made a broad generalization about the *entire* white race out of pure *emotion* and clearly hasn't had enough experience with them to know that some whites out there can actually relate with black people to a great extent, just like any other race/ethnicity. (Wiggers and 'cholos', for instance) I'd bet a million bucks she's a Democrat too... Hell, I've dated white girls who were even more stereotypically blacker than *I* am. The last pastey white girl I went out with literally taught ME how to smoke a blunt (while listening to Nicki Minaj) and told *me* I sound white... That's how stereotypically black she was compared to me, even though she was whiter than white on the outside. Furthermore, interracial couples shouldn't be an issue considering the fact that they're only a small minority compared to people who happen to pair up with someone of their own race. It's not like the vast majority of people on planet earth deliberately seek someone who's a different race than them. Everyone who has a problem with interracial couples could be wasting their time & energy on LGBT-supporters instead since h-ity is actually a s1n in the B1ble. Plus, most people in the Western World are technically mixed anyway if they were to take a DNA test. Not that many people in the Western World today are 100% pure.
He was ahead of his time in a few different ways. When he died, I learned about this opinion piece he wrote on video games and computers back in the early 1980s that was really forward-thinking and open-minded about them as a valid, engaging medium that had a ton of potential for growth.
