Cartoon Description: The Boondocks
Based on Aaron McGruder's popular and subversive comic strip, The Boondocks finally adapts the satirical misadventures of two young African American brothers named Huey and Riley Freeman. Currently living in the upscale neighborhood of Woodcrest (after moving away from Southside Chicago) with their "Granddad" Robert Freeman.
Despite their young age, the two kids share some pretty adult issues. Huey is a ten-year old black radical obsesses with spreading subversive ideas about history, politics, and society, and Riley is his younger brother, who is also obsessed with the Gangsta Rap lifestyle. The show is a biting no-holds barred satire, with commentary on life, society, culture, and race from both sides of the spectrum. It's a show that will make you think just as much as it'll make you laugh.
