Didn’t Aaron say ruckus was his favorite character?

>>1008825

Because the show (almost) never went out of its way to "teach him a lesson." Uncle Ruckus was a crotchety old man set in his ways but all he ever really did was rant and ramble, and people didn't get horribly outraged over it, they just shrugged it off or calmly disagreed with whatever he was going on about at the time. And sometimes Ruckus was even allowed to be right, and was portrayed sympathetically in some episodes because he was still a human being, albeit a really weird and messed up one.

Any other show would have reduced Uncle Ruckus to a Colonel Stinkmeaner.

It's quite a realistic depiction of such a character really. In reality, most people kind of just let crotchety old people say what they're going to say. What are you going to do? Lecture them, so they learn their lesson. Who has time for that? People are going to think what they're going to think, and big changes of heart are rare. May as well just try to get along with them at that point.

That butthurt Wikia introduction though.

Uncle Ruckus is the main antagonist in The Boondocks. His role in the series varies depending on the storyline of the episode he's featured in. He can either be an antagonist (primary or secondary), supporting protagonist, anti-hero, or neutral. He serves as the main protagonist of the episode "The Color Ruckus". He is a black man who firmly doesn't like black people -- the world's biggest "Uncle Tom". An overweight, horrid, detestable homely man with one oversized glass-eye, he enjoys disassociating himself from other African Americans as much as possible, and is outspoken in his support of what Huey calls the "white supremacist power structure." He is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams.

Damn shame.

I remember commentary on Boondocks and the creators talking about how people who complain about Ruckus just don't get that he's supposed to be crazy.

While I agree with Ruckus on a number of things there's no denying he's pretty fucking crazy.

>>1008915

That white eye looks creepy.

>a nigger

>likable and funny

I want /cuckpol/ to leave

>a character that Almost gotten a live action movie

>Portrayed as caring and Sympathetic multiple times as such comforting jazmine by telling her Santa real

Yeah. Uncle ruckus totally the bad guy of boondocks. Not someone who meant to be likiable or compelling.

>>1009022

>He's not meant to be likable. You just want him to be since you agree with him.

Uncle Ruckus did nothing wrong!

>>1009009

Was Huey not supposed to be a parody?

>>1009026

>2. McNigger included thag moment because he thinks believing in Santa and shit is bad.

Imagine being so desperate to prove a point you have to say stupid shit like this.

>>1009113

You aren't meant to take Huey's overwhelming cynicism and paranoia seriously. In the comic strips he had a straightman to bounce off of to serve as a more grounded voice of reason but in the cartoon Huey could go off into his own world whenever he wanted, though he himself served as the straightman to everyone else.

>Being this desperate to show your pet show is totally redpilled and based with based kunta kintes

>>1009002

Ruckus is a white man. He just has re-vitiligo. It's the opposite of what Michael Jackson got.

Have Haku Zynkyoku consult the Akashic Records

I pitched into the Kickstarter. Not my fault Boondocks fans are cheap niggers.

>>1009181

>be sold to white people, who ask you to pick cotton in exchange for food and shelter, generally didn't mistreat you that bad because it's counter productive to break your own farm equipment, eventually give you your freedom, KFC and welfare

<live in Africa

>Who is Jim Crow

Whatever you say, cuckchan/pol/

>no u!

Nice rebuttal you got there

So many honorary Aryan memers.

Hitler even supported the United States policies of segregation and eugenics.

1 and 2. Arguably 3 (less consistent but has good episodes).

>>1010196

Gotcha, I’ll give it a watch. Dunno Aaron’s poz level at the moment, but I used to like his work quite a bit and remember he got into quite a bit of trouble with adult swim for wanting to make fun of the Trayvon thing at one point.

I also really liked the first season of Black Jesus.

>>1008825

I hate the attempt at animu style and I hate animunized niggers. Except Mr. Black from Dragonball. He's awesome.

That's all.

People that are entertaining become likeable because they make you feel good by entertaining you.

Part of Uncle Ruckus's appeal is that he is harmless. He's hateful and mean, but never antagonistic and only very rarely combative for comedic purposes. He'll call Huey a nigger to his face, but he'd never stop him from doing what he wants. He'll go on for hours to Granddad about how niggers are inferior, but he'll still be his friend.
