http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6275/title.dx-exclusive-boondocks-vs-bet
Over the past couple of weeks there has been rumors hovering about a certain Boondocks episode waiting to be aired. A clip leaked to youtube that previewed the episode which takes a critical and humorous look at BET and its programming. The snippet heightened curiosity of when the episode would eventually air. After the rumored original air date (January 7th) had passed, there would be even more speculation as to what happened to the episode. The clips on youtube were also taken down with no explanation.
Message boards ran wild with talk that BET put a halt to the episode ever airing but there was absolutely no confirmation from either sources at BET or Boondocks. It’s no secret that the Boondocks has attracted controversy (ie: last year’s controversial “Return of the King” episode) but to hear that an episode may possibly never air has raised more than a few eyebrows.
Today, an anonymous source close to the situation issued a statement exclusively to HipHopDX.com explaining that not one, but two episodes have been banned from airing. Here's his statement as to what has transpired in recent weeks…
“It now appears official that TWO episodes of The Boondocks second season -- clips of which surfaced on and then were pulled from Youtube -- will not air. At all. Ever.
Fans who were waiting for the show to reach the levels of controversy that last year's Peabody Award-winning "The Return of Martin Luther King" episode achieved will have to cross their fingers and hope that Sony execs don’t also pull the episodes from the second season DVD, which is slated for late spring.
The two episodes were originally scheduled to air on November 16 and December 17, respectively. No official reasons were given for the banning of the episodes from either Sony or Adult Swim as of yet. Rumor has it the higher ups at BET have been pressuring Sony behind the scenes for months to yank the episodes, including threatening legal action. Now I’m pretty biased as a BET hater, but it’s sad the people in charge over there are more worried about being teased by a cartoon than producing good television. Not surprising, but still sad.
I’m a fan of the show and I've seen the episodes and they are undoubtedly the most cutting, brilliant and funny episodes of the season. In the first one: "The Hunger Strike" – Huey teams up with an Al Sharpton-like character (played by Cee-Lo Green from Gnarls Barkley) and goes on a hunger strike to protest BET. In what has since become a bizarre example of life imitating art, BET execs ‘Deborah Leevil’ and ‘Weggie Rudlin’ (imagine Black female Dr. Evil and Reginald Hudlin as Number 2) go through extraordinary lengths to thwart young Huey’s crusade. In the second one, titled "The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show”, BET gives Uncle Ruckus his own show, and what follows is one of the most fucked up and hilarious things I’ve seen on TV in years.
Is this controversy good for the Boondocks? Probably. For McGruder, controversy has never been a bad thing. But it’s doubtful any of this can be good for BET, which seems to be under perpetual fire from community activists and critics alike for its garbage programming. Now with this and BET founder Bob Johnson’s cheap shots at Obama, Huey Freeman may not be the only one hungering for a BET boycott.”
Calls and emails to Aaron McGruder’s office have yet to be returned. An exclusive clip has also been leaked to HipHopDX.

yea i heard about this fuck bet hating on one of the only cartoons i watch. i saw that youtube clip too--exposing BET for what it truthly is.

Fuck BET. Do black people even watch BET anymore? I think the last time I watched was when there was a show talking about what a negative influence on the youth that mainstream rap is nowadays, and they kept using clips from videos that were in heavy BET rotation at the time. I can't remember how long ago that was, but I know it was on at like 2 or 3 AM. Jeff Johnson Chronicles or something like that. Great contradictory messages you're putting out there BET! Be ignorant, sell rocks, have several illegitemate children, be smart enough to realize how ignorant everything you're doing is, but make sure to be lazy enough to not do anything about it!

aaron mcgruder is the truth.
the boondocks is just a reality told through comedic animation.
on of the best shows on tv.

soooo true i think the show u talkin about was bet: uncut some shit like that.

word up, BET is poison... but i can't lie, shit was bumpin back in 2000 and 2001...
anyways, I like the Boondocks, but this episode looked kinda weak and unfunny... they left out the clip of the Wal-Mart employees collecting money for BET employees which was kinda funny... anyways, last week's episode with Riley's teacher callin him a nigga was the weakest episode of the season, in my opinion
PEACE!

for real, BET hasn't been good since about 98.

LOL@The Austin Powers rip-off.

BET lost me when Big Tig's mama kicked him out the bassment. The other programming sucks, they could do so much better and be way more creative than what they are. People complain about how bad it is and still watch

damn, i dunno if id say all that, but definitely, FUCK BET.
job, the drawing in your sig says "knowledge, understanding, and equality", among other things, but yet, you seem to have at least some hate for every race but your own...and a quote a that says "in their eyes youre still a nigger", how exactly are you being "understanding and equal", if you hate anyone who is not black, and if you already think everyone labels you a "nigger"??

maybe hate is the wrong word...but you do seem to judge people just by their race...i mean, if you meet a white person, before he/she even says a word to you, do you automatically think that they label you a "nigger"? simply cause theyre white?? what about a latino? or an asian? where does that type of mentality stop?

let me put it like this..
im latino, and i know some black folk dont like latinos (and vice versa), for X reasons, but that doesnt mean that when i meet a black person that im going to think "ok, this guy thinks of me as a "wetback", and i know he/she doesnt like me", and i certainly hope the black person doesint think i think of them as a "nigger" and dont like him/her, simply cause he/she is black and i am latino...ya dig?

actually, no. i havent used that word since i was about 7, im 20 now..and i havent heard anyone that i associate myself with, use it either.
what does the catholic church have to do with prejudice and racism? there are plenty of black people that belong to the catholic church...i dont follow catholicism, so i dont see the connection youre trying to make...
-
how many times have you called a latino a "beaner" or "wetback"?

how many times have you called a latino a "beaner" or "wetback"?
my whole thing is that Blacks that are racist..... they are racist due to cause and effect......... whites are racist for no reason you know what eye sayin ( no cause for they racism........)

thats weak, i could also argue that latinos that are racist, are racist due to cause and effect...
thats a weak argument, job... ive had problems with some black folk, not because they were black, but because they were assholes who happen to be black, but i dont hate every black person i see or come in contact with, just because of some altercations i had a a few...because i KNOW that not ever black person has the same mentality/attitude as those assholes...
i hope you have the mind frame to know that if you have had problems with latino assholes, that you have problems with those individuals who happen to be latino, and not hate an entire race because of it...at least id hope you know that...

how are so called latinos racist due to cause and effect... majority of Latinos (my definition) are people who are white... spaniards...... the people you see on the novelas, telemundo, univision..... etc. from spain(europe)..... they create this whole image of being white is right...... there for the people in that country strive to be accepted by them........ a lot of so called latinos are raised to be racist to Blacks for no reason... just because they were told be there parents and etc... and they had no reason either..... just because "morenos" "dark skin"... "nappy hair" is considered feo...... so just off that they teachin they kids to be racist towards Blacks..... come on man you know whats up you cant tell me that what eye am sayin dont ring a bell

first of all, your definition of a latino is ass backwards...a latino (to most people) is someone who has some mexican, puerto rican, cuban, venezualan, etc. blood in them...that fact that some of us have spaniard blood isnt our fault (for the most part), just like how some blacks have white blood in them...how did that happen? RAPE. plain and simple. when the spanish came to (what we now refer to as) 'latin countries' they raped and murdered the native people, and thats where a lot of latinos get there spanish blood from.
second of all, those people on tv do not represent an entire race. im sorry, but youre flat out dumb if you firmly believe that...the program directors hire those people because THEY are the ones who are racist and wont give REAL latinos a chance..there are latinos who look exactly like YOU, you do know that right? they have the "dark skin", and "nappy hair" and everything.
third of all, yes, there are dumb ass "parents" who teach the young ones to hate, but that can be said ABOUT ANY RACE, its flat out ignorant to think that latino parents are the only ones who do that...you cannot honestly sit there and say that no black parent in the history of parenting has ever taught their child to hate on latinos, simply because they *THINK* that all latinos are raised to hate them.
its a vicious cycle of racism that needs to stop, ON BOTH SIDES...

aitte eye can tell yo on of those so called latinos.... ask any real person who from so called Latin America what the term "latino" means.
second if they were latino those people that look like me they wouldnt get treated like basura..... they are Black. African. they ancestors just got off at a different country............. IF you can sit here and honestly tell me that the Blacks in Latin America get treated fairly and equal ( and they are not a futbol player)...... your bullshit and in denial........... word is bond.
answer that Do the Blacks in Latin America get treated equally and from that eye can tell what background you coming from for real
