Uncle Ruckus isn't meant as just "shock humor", he's a character that's meant to embody self-hating black people specifically. From an interview with Aaron McGruder: "Uncle Ruckus represents an ignorant past that we can look back and laugh at because we are a long way away from it now. At least, that’s what you hope… But I think part of why the character is popular is because a lot of us know somebody like him. We know black people who are stuck in the 1800s. All of their anger and rage at being black in America has somehow been redirected back onto other black people."

This got deep and heated. IMO, it is true that buildings are lifelines and when riots happen small ones especially shouldn't be subject to Looting or Burned down. But the bigger issue is how we got to this point in the 1st place and to ignore that key purpose or detract from that key issue is in turn the problem. Like if you'd said more about a Target which again matters but hear what you're saying. A business to you carries more weight on your conscious then a human life.

I agree with Chris. Why should I care about the CEO or owner of a CVS In the wake of an injustice? Especially when the CEO probably uses their power/resources to further disenfranchise the community in favor of monetary gain.

“How’s Huey extreme?,” truth. Huey is the option where we develop class consciousness 🤷🏻‍♀️ And the up-hill battle can be super depressing, because most people really do seem to be as volatile & able to fluctuate point of view & beliefs like the mob in this episode. On the conversation of property destruction, one reason I do not support property destruction, (buildings specifically,) is because as a vegan I am not interested in harming the animals that have likely turned the buildings into a part of their habitat, but I’d ask people who are not vegans what part of that definition of “violence” do animals fall under? The definitions of words is unfortunately carefully crafted to support particular positions-Capital. Anyway, y’all should check out the 1969 organization Weathermen Underground.

[@ATC43]

...I agree with Chris, Marketa and Rana. Yall are real ones. Protest happens because "the state" (which includes our mostly idiotic news media machine) cares more about businesses and enterprise and money than the common folk/people who are seen as "lesser". People riot and start destroying shit and, by extension, small business get caught up in this. This will always happen especially when the riots/protests stem from issues which hit very closely to people's unchangeable identities, for example, their race. It doesn't happen purposefully, most of the time, it happens organically as protesters are met with disproportional force by "the state" and those who purport to be protectors of all those within this system; and when those in office with the power to enact change sit on their hands; and when the media chooses to focus on the potential monetary damage these protests could cause. So, people get upset shit happens and shit gets broken. And then the media puts the faces of these small business owners on TV who are rightfully upset about their business getting looted/damaged which only furthers that tired and honestly milquetoast statement of "nonviolent protest". Throughout history "nonviolent protest" has done jack shit. And don't bring up MLK or Ghandhi. People died, especially on the side of those fighting for their rights, so it defintely was not "nonviolent". And those who own small businesses like those on the TV will side with this statement and in the future decry the protests because it may affect their own livelihood, even if they would ultimately be on the side of those who are doing the protesting/riots in the first place. "Gotta get mines" right? Capitalism at work. If everyone set aside their own personal gain, banded together and said "yeah, fuck those buildings" you would see how quickly things would change for everyone. The protesters and those with small buildings alike.

[@nichescenes]

To be fair they weren’t seeing chris’ point while regergitating what they think they should say. Chris literally says no violence and I don’t believe you can commit violence to an inanimate object like a building. Response I get it but we shouldn’t do violence. No you didn’t get it since you said that. Better answers would be to address his point and secure yours. Protest where property was destroyed have proved and been done in the past and got celebrated if it benefits history. Tea party anyone. Plenty died the same way as George in past and protest were made peacefully and they were talked about for a week and forgotten. No one wants destroyed businesses but Chris point wasn’t that. There acting like destroying businesses is out of no reason. As if you beat your friend and when they punch back you go hey violence is wrong. At some point you push people and I see why they protest. It’s why those protest are seen differently than the government thing with people in the capital. That was trying to overthrow a legitimate decision. We started America by standing up and not just singing peace songs and not making a difference. I get why people hate blocking roads etc but you gotta twist it and say hey if I was in there shoes would I want change that bad. Would I be able to turn the cheek and do something less disruptive. I’d like to hope I’d be peaceful but who knows. Lastly is a storm or tornado or earthquake taking out some glass in a store violent? Not saying it’s good but I get Chris point to an extent we overreact that all those protest were violent. Many were proven to be bad actors to make it less legit and yes I agree peaceful would be nice and best if you had the choice and could get the same recognition and results.

These guys disliked Ed Wuncler and Uncle Ruckus!, they truly are my enemies.

[@shaquilleburton1611]

I was hoping someone had seen "Do the right thing" wuncler had some hilarious lines this episode "You think ignorance is cute" t-t-t too damn old to be writing your Es backwards" "We can handle this like a couple of gentlemen or...we can get into some old gangster shit"🤣🤣🤣

Well often they are not completely ethical. They are a pretty natural result of a society that wants to change but is being held back by those in power though.

[@joshuawells835]

Keep in mind Ed Wuncler's name is based on the Once-ler from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.

When protests turn into riots it isn't a logical thing, it's an emotional one. When people getting killed by the police in record numbers, the ones supposedly there to "serve and protect" act as an invading army and try to spin the whole discourse of these communities being deprived of resources as "savage and lawless people" people will rise up in way that is violent because the violence the system inflicts on you is constant and it uses your own communities against you by making you all hungry and desperate enough to hurt each other. In the discussion some of you use "small businesses" as a shield to condemn riots, no one is in favours of riots, but as explained the violence is a core component of standing up to the system because it's thru violence that the system keeps people in check, as if those "small businesses" were thriving before the "violent black people got there" and weren't just not another casualty of these areas being deprived of resources and access to better common services

I love the Uncle guy. That stuff he says is so crazy and dumb it makes it funny. And it’s a cartoon character, it would be weird to get mad.

I think black people find Ruckus funnier. Cause we're more comfortable finding him funny.

[@TheRealBwoi]

The line "Lemonade was a popular drink in my day" was a play off of Gang Starr's DWYCK: "...Lemonade was a popular drink, and it still is, I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis..."
