Did you know there was supposed to be a reboot and the guy that played Uncle Ruckus said he there was8 episodes that he recorded for but the company that was paying for the show to be made so it was taking too long and it was too expensive so they just decided to shelf it plus the guy who plays Granddad is dead but his son does his voice very well

[@valentinek.t3327]

Did you know that it was supposed to be a spoof of The Color Purple? The original. Thats where most of the comedy comes from. This is really one of the funniset episodes but back then it was assummed that everyone had seen it. won a million academy awards. If you all havent seen it its understandable that it comes off as a sad episode.

If anything. Despite the fact that Ruckus' Dad was a Horrible and abusive father towards his children and ESPECIALLY Ruckus. It also showed how much of an Enabler that the Mom was towards the sons. She lied to Ruckus and led him to believe that he was adopted and was actually white for all of these years to go against the hardships of what his father was doing to them. It's easy to attack his dad for shaping Ruckus into the way he is but his Mother was no better than the Father

To answer your question on why Ruckus’ mom is enamored with white people is as simple as slavery. Given the extent of slavery; how generations were born within a racist climate that stripped many black people of cultural and social identity, only to miseducate through force, lots of slaves were born to praise the concept of Whiteness - which was concept coined by pseudoscientists to classify people by race to make African people and any other non white person as inferior to white people. Generations of psychological tampering to an oppressed people created Ruckus’ mom. Edit: glad that Ash is okay. Love you guys content

[@brandywine5689]

After hundreds of years of hatred and vitriol directed towards the black community by white people, they essentially indoctrinated black people into hating ourselves! Sadly black people internalized that anti black sentiment which developed into self hatred, colorism, and an inferiority complex! Even worst that mentality has been pervasive throughout the black community and passed down from generation to generation! This mindset has manifested itself in a variety of negative ways such as black on black crime, crab in a bucket mentality, and the black men and women gender war to name a few!

[@atmn5430]

Idk if y’all really noticed, but yes ruckus father was very abusive to him and also his mother making him even more delusional by making him believe he’s a white person. From her dying her hair blonde, wanting blue eyes( having them when she’s older probably contacts), and just her overall personality influences ruckus’s personality. I know if you can recall the episode of season 2 when ruckus gets a show on BET when he gets his ancestry test results he’s “102% African with a 2% margin of error” the man wanted to kill himself after learning even though his life didn’t change at all until he thought he had to live by those stereotypes (quitting all his damn jobs, wearing oversized baggy t shirts,finally buying a new pair of shoes and they gotta be sneakers, etc). Reggie was the BET exec that treated the doctor to actually falsify test results and acting as though the original test results ruckus received were bad and he end up getting a fake test results from the doctor personally saying he’s 50% white. It all steams from self hatred in his mom that she actually taught all of her kids including ruckus. Ruckus also contradicts himself throughout the entire show by not knowing himself, but thinking he does.

[@brandywine5689]

Uncle Ruckus daddy taught him to hate himself and his mom taught him to worship white people, which is what was displayed in this episode!

[@atmn5430]

@@brandywine5689 yes I agree, but the mom also taught him that he wasn’t black he was a white person. After those klan members burned a cross on their lawn ruckus mom didn’t say a thing or even felt a way, she still were praising whiteness just because. She even wants to totally change how she looks just like how ruckus does by him applying skin lightening cream and self diagnosing himself with a fake skin disorder.

Basically black people was indoctrinated to hate ourselves by the larger white society. Our ancestors internalized that racism and vitriol directed towards us which overtime manifested into self hatred that was passed down from generation to generation! We're basically saying the same thing.

[@itoibo4208]

@@atmn5430 his mother taught him to like white people. His father, and others, were "proof" that black people were low class, violent, and inferior to white people, whom he would see as more refined and civilized, as his mother did. I knew a young man like this. His mother was white, his father was black and had run out on them, and so he saw black people as bad people. White people who say slavery ended a long time ago, and ask why people today should still suffer any damage from it, are ignorant and should watch this episode to try to understand generational damage. Ruckus is damaged by his father, his father is damaged by his mother and by racism in his youth, his mother prefers white culture, and surely the grandmother is damaged the same way by people in her life. The people who think this episode is funny are damaged as well. They may not see how their own culture has harmed them, and may even embrace being "strong" and aggressive and vulgar and crude and "hard", instead of wanting a more peaceful way of life. I still see some parents in my area, cussing and calling their kids n****r and telling them to "get your black ass over here" and things like that, and I just shake my head. This is NOT ok. This is not good parenting. This is raising a whole new generation of damaged people.

[@Market_Fiend]

9:20 "I hope this isn't the tone for the whole show, this is sad" Listen fellas this 100% happens in our homes, at least at mine. That "Did i just catch you trying to be shit" followed by the slap is so funny because i can related and im sure at least 5 black kids out of 10 back when i was 7-10 years old experienced that ( i am 30 this year). I personally went through it. When i was 8 i was dreaming to be an artist, cartoon artist and animator, so drawing was literally all i ever wanted to do, didnt care much about school. My uncle who raised me after my died passed away, who funny enough is one hella talented drawing artist, despised that i was spending so much time drawing and trying to get better at it. One night while i was at my grand ma, I had finally managed to draw a whole character by myself, without copying others. I was so proud of it, showed it to everybody, I was telling people how im gonna start my own Manga from that one character, just a kid with dream, who believed in himself. When i showed it to my uncle, he got in such a rage, took his belt off whooped the crap out of me. "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU DRAW AGAIN, I only want to see you study". Those were his words VERBATIM. I could never forget them. Slapped the taste of drawing out of my mouth, never picked up the pencil again until i turned 16 at least i was a rebel now, what could he do to stop me. I could still draw well But the dream to be an cartoon animator was completely gone, and i Went to pursue a career in Software design instead. I Was mad at him for so long about that, come to find out in 2015 when i went back to Africa to visit, i told him about that, and he said my grand father use to beat the shit out of him aswell for the same reason: Drawing, so he went to do a Civil Engineering Degree to become an architect like we always wanted to prove that his dad was wrong. Unfortunately he never had a career in it, so when he saw me drawing and tell everyone about my dream to be an animator, he didn't want me to chose a path that would lead no where like he did, so he felt he had to stop it early. Thats what he said to me. Crazy right? Back then black parents from poor families didn't know how to encourage kids to follow their passion unfortunately. There was no such thing. Especially if your passion was not guaranteed to bring some sort of substantial income. Today is much different. So yh being beat up because you have a passion for something that your black parent doesn't agree with ... was for real growing up., Ask any African adults today who dreamt to be a soccer player as a kid for example, a very small percentage actually got support. That's why even though its sad, its funny the way its portrayed in this anime, because it is true

As messed up as Uncle Ruckus father was in his tactics it came from a place of hurt and disappointment in his own life that he wanted to be things and he couldn't be because the world wouldn't allow him to be just like Malcolm X had stated when he was a little boy he wanted to be a lawyer but his white teacher told him that's not a good idea despite him having the top grades in the class he was told those careers wasnt for Blacks and never would be .

Four things I want to say here. 1. I'm glad that Ashley is doing better after her accident. 2. Mister Ruckus was played by Don Curry who played Uncle Elroy from the Friday movies, Willie's (John Witherspoon) brother. 3. Any sympathy you may have felt for Ruckus in this episode will get thrown out the window in season 4, especially in the episode Freedomland. 4. Great video and keep up the good work 👏.

First off! I'm glad Ashley is OK! This episode is another classic! As you can see from the amount viewers and comments, this episode not only hits hard but gets funnier every time you watch it. The theme is basically explaining the passing down of *trauma* and *abuse*. Black people's trauma comes from a social structure where they are not loved and are susceptible to abuse. Therefore, being white or being close to white meant your life would be better. This episode brilliantly depicts this by parodying 2 very emotional films: *The Colour Purple and Precious*. Uncle Ruckus is the character "Precious" in this episode, and his life mirrors Whoopi's character's life in The Colour Purple, especially when he is thrown out of the house. The two monologues to re-listen to are his brother's witnessing their father's abuse and coping with the trauma, and then Ruckus, expressing his understanding at the end of the show. Basically, you realize people are human and make mistakes. A great take on this subject matter is the show Bojack Horseman in season 4! If you have not watched that series on NETFLIX, I recommend you do. It is fantastically written! It's funny and very emotional! Plus, a LOT of celebrities lend their voices to that show. When you watch it, you will see why. Hahahaha. Have a great week.

I don't know why this was recommended to me, but I enjoyed this video immensely!! 🤣😅 Also, if you never saw the original film *The Color Purple* (with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey), I would suggest watching it. That movie informs most of Uncle Ruckus' backstory in this episode.

[@WellHelloSilly]

Hey Dr. Thank you so much for watching with us! 🙏 We're so happy that someone recommended us to you! That's so cool to us because we're such a small channel & we're so thankful for each and every viewer 🙏 Especially the ones that interact with us!

The Boondocks already is a great watch but seeing you two is the cherry on top!! The wife’s reactions have me rewinding segments constantly lol I know the show will come to an end so might I suggest your next series? In Living Color would be a great transition. ❤️

The moment I heard Mister, I thought about The Color Purple. Have y'all ever watched that movie and if not, would you watch it for the channel? The first bit of finding Uncle Ruckus is a bit of that Benjamin Button movie. Never fails, I forget the full title everytime. 😂

Nelly and Mister are two of the biggest sociopaths in this show which is saying a lot. Next episode is arguably the most insane episode of the season.

It's not uncommon that abused people can become the abuser. We know why Mister became an abuser but it begs the question... What is grandma's story?

It would take 20 years to explain everything Aaron McGruder put in here. It is more genius than many recognize. Ruckus is what is black people think racist white people (some, all white people) really think about themselves and us.

If you've been loving the Boondocks, then I think you'll LOVE Black Dynamite. Very similar kind of humor with a fun animation style. It's basically the Boondocks set in the 70s. I HIGHLY recommend it

[@WellHelloSilly]

It's crazy that you say that, because we literally watched and reacted to the "1st one" (I believe we missed the pilot episode) Well as soon as it went on KZbin, they immediately blocked it 🤦 It is funny as hell and we do like it a lot too. We're gonna see what we can do about that. Thanks for kicking it with us and commenting ☺️🙏-M@

We actually DID the first episode (we think it may have been the 2nd and we missed the pilot) But regardless, as soon as we uploaded it, KZbin immediately blocked it because of Copyright. We liked it and want to do more, so we're looking into ways to get it and other "banned" or special episodes out to you all. Stay tuned 😉✌️-M@
