The Boondocks was a daily syndicated comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder that ran from 1996 to 2006. Created by McGruder in 1996 for Hitlist.com, an early online music website, it was printed in the monthly hip hop magazine The Source in 1997. As it gained popularity, the comic strip was picked up by the Universal Press Syndicate and made its national debut on April 19, 1999. A popular and controversial strip, The Boondocks satirizes African-American culture and American politics as seen through the eyes of young African American radical Huey Freeman. McGruder's syndicate said it was among the biggest launches the company ever had.

Honestly Huey is wrong. Neither group accepted me as one of them while I was growing up.
I personally have no experience with this, being white, but knowing black, and mixed folk that was my take away as well.
Completely different to the deep racial discourse of 'black' but having a nonitalian last name but a large Italian family influence and friends was weird because I thought I was Italian but all those kids wanted to make sure I knew I wasn't just because of my last name. Super weird.
hey i got a dumbfuck question, do you got any opinions on this episode of Atlanta
I unfortunately haven't gotten around to watching Atlanta yet.
that's a standalone episode completely unrelated to the rest of the series if you wanted to quick snap it
