T-Pain

There’s a thin line between clownin and coonin. This sure wasn’t funny or insightful. There were a lot of stereotypical images of gold teeth, booties., silly jewelry, guns, fried chicken and rims. I guess the Boondocks is coming back so that will balance it out. But this cartoon seems to be for everything that the Boondocks were against. If it’s satire it wasn’t well done.

    What about Tpain do the people not understand is 100% coonery? Everything about his character is just the sale of negative stereotypes, and unfortunately, there is a HUGE market for it.

    It wasn’t funny, but it was somewhat true. I wish they would bring FREAKNIK back. But this time Black people act right stop all the stupid sh** and maybe they will let us have fun like before. T-Pain is just silly.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/msveevee1/ msveevee1

    I hated it and I laughed once. I hope they don’t put this garabage on tv. Plus, my daughter’s dad something about the freaknik coming back to Atlanta and I’m like “why”? What would be the point of that? Isn’t that why HIV/AIDS and homosexuality epidemics have risen from the sins that were committed from the freaknik? I mean, it disgusts me. All the stories that I heard about that was just plain ole’ freakish. Ppl all over the world came to just to get nutt down their throats. How appealing is that?! Needless to say, I pray that it never happens and that the authorities will not let it happen. There’s enough things out there that is drenched with sex and sexual induendos. We don’t need atlanta promoting that perversion again. That’s the LAST thing that the world needs now.

    Hey SoularFlarez, did u recognize the members of the Boule.
    I spotted Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Russell Simmons, and B.E.T’s Debra Lee.

    I give them credit for informing ppl bout the Boule but for the most part it was Tom Foolery. Havin women shake they @ss, and they only want to smoke weed and be lazy, and the guns…my goodness.

    Just bring back Boondocks pleeeeeaaasseee!!!!

    BS like this is the very reason why some Blacks will never aspire to anything beyond the ghetto. Seriously can you really get mad at the white college kids for their mocking of Black History month with the “compton cookout.” Why express any upset over the degradation of the Black image when silly nergos like t-pain give them so such amo.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/prettynsweet757/ prettynsweet757

    ok! it’s a cartoon.. and yes believe it or not in some hoods thats really how it is! it was a lil much but i had fun watching it, it was different. t-pain did a good job im not going to put him down because he is making his money just like everybody else in the world! we talk about how we hate it when whites have something bad to say about us but when we do it to each other its “OH SO WRONG”..COME ON!…im tired of it.. just do you and show people your not what they make us to be. no one is perfect..even though as “SOME” say the movie was “whack and it put us down”. it did really have a meaning!..LISTEN!..at the end the 4 guys made it to freaknik and won! as they plan! but they didnt take the money,cars, and Ho*s! so it shows 1. you can do something if you put your mind to it no matter what it is. 2. its not always about rims, money, weed, sex, and women..dang black people can we get over slavery and start on a better future its 2010 we taking over! it’s just a movie!..

    Boondocks is funny plus it’s satire with a message. This was just a steaming pile of s**t. I watched the first 10 minutes of it and than I had to shut it off.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/single_409/ single_409

    I don’t know what’s wrong with me! When someone says b***h, I’ve never been offended. When someone said ho, never offended. If someone said any other negative term that is or could be directed at a female, I’ve never been offended. They weren’t talking to me or about me. I’m not her. I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong for feeling this way but I’ve never assumed that when someone said those words that they were even talking to me or about me.

    It aint nuthin coonery about this. If you ever been to the freaknik before, you’ll know this is exactly how it was. City wide parties like freaknik was scattered thru Georgia in the ’90s. Atlanta had Freaknik, Augusta had Mayfest, Savannah had Orangecrush, and Statesboro had Players Ball. Yes it was about ass and cars, no different from bike week in Myrtle Beach S.C and Daytona Fla.

    And gold grills aint nuthin new, black folks been wearing gold teeth since the ’20s. People been customizing their cars aince the 60′s, but when black folks do it, its a problem.

    This is a cartoon about a big ass party, so it wasnt no need to look for a positive message out of this. If you did you set yourself up for a let down.

    LOL at people defending Freaknic and this cartoon. Degradation, women being accosted and raped and above all a bunch of people who weren’t even in college bombarding the festivities. Every negative stereotype about us was validated by none other than Ourselves during every Freaknic, and this coon cartoon is bringing it to a new generation of (White) kids so that they can try to emulate the foolishness and assimilate to the worst parts of our culture.

    Regardless if this is what happen back in the 90′s or whatever. There are so many African Americans, Black whatever you wanna call us, that are now trying to strive above the sterotypes that are placed on us. there’s alot african americans now and days that are trying to get our name out the mud and this cartoon does nothing but place us back in it.. I myself am a black woman and I do not show myself and my body off like that.. we are suppose to make a better impreesion for these kids growing up in this day and age not show them the exact opposite we should be getting wiser not dumber.

    are yall serious? RELAX! it’s a cartoon. looking at some of the reactions you would think this was an official government cartoon that was mandatory viewing in every school in America during black history month. come on this was adult swim. trust me if anyone is getting their black history and perceptions of black people from a cartoon, a cartoon on adult swim at that we have some way bigger problems. there is a big difference between ENTERTAINMENT and EDUCATION. yeah cause I get my Italian History and perception of Italians from MTV’s Jersey Shore…

    liked it,it was a CARTOON,on ADULT SWIM…LATE AT NITE. So. if your children are up watchin’ it, well then shame on ya. I will not be herded into a narrow perspective of reality or stereotypes. I may not be comfortable watching the cartoon with my white coworkers from the office,but in the privacy of my own home, I want to have choices. You see it don’t like it? Push the button, change the channel,don’t whine.

    Eh, I’m not losing any sleep over it. I can’t front…. that damn Jesse Jackson “Cut his nuts off” s**t was kinda funny. I’m an Adult Swim fan anyway and even liked “Read a Book” so I’m biased.

    Since Carl Jones was involved, I’ll just add…… be sure to tune in to Boondocks May 2nd.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Babyface843/ Babyface843

    was it offensive or was it how negros was acting during freaknik? Go back and look at some of the freaknik pics. It’s basically porn. We was actin just how that cartoon portrayed us..or I shud say some of us. It’s not a seris either this was a one time thing on adult swim too.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/whatineednlife/ whatineednlife

    Stereotypes hold no power if people don’t take offense to them. It was funny and it was on at a decent hour. Stop finding fault in anything that isn’t academic or self-righteous. Damn.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chaser/ chaser

    I can’t deny that the cartoon is filled with stereotypes, but what I don’t get is why some of you are offended by this, but not the stuff that actually goes on in everyday life. If you have never seen or been to Freaknik, this is how it goes down. All I’m saying is, why waste your time complaining and crying about a cartoon when you’re not going to do anything about the similar situations that occur in real life. And it’s a cartoon…for adults…if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mindbells/ Mindbells

    This is ignorant garbage for ignorant people. I’m not hood, not ghetto, not a freaknik type female, and I steer clear of the rubbish so I changed the channel. Although some choose to behave this way and choose to revel in ignorance, in the ridiculous and appreciate this modern day buckwheat step n’ fetchit crap, I choose to seek things that uplift us. Behavior like this needs to be corrected not celebrated. Just because it happens doesn’t make it right. In the 20′s, 30′s 40′s, etc we had little choice in the roles we were offered and little opportunity to do our own thing. However, there was a constant struggle to improve our image and to show positive, educated black people on tv. It’s very sad that now in 2010 after the struggle of our people to fight for these opportunities for us, that this is what we do and defend…smh…wow how sad. We really have to do better.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lady-of-2000/ lady-of-2000

    why are people crying about a cartoon when their children watch videos. This cartoon was on during a time when children should have been in bed, but videos are on all day long. There is just about the same amount of ass and people acting a fool on videos as there was during Freaknik back in the day. Women walking around in skirts with their ass out, and bikinis. Am I talking about videos or Freaknik? Men with their hands all over a woman’s ass like it was their woman. Am I talking about videos or Freaknik? When you really think about it the only differences are videos are on television all day for children and white folks to judge blacks anytime they want, and Freaknik was a time in our past when blacks got a little out of hand hence the key phrase “our past”. Every race has a past they are not proud of including whites. Black folks will never be able to rise and move forward until they learn to see the past for what it really is, a learning experience and the knowledge of what we can become when we stand together as one. Then and only then will names and sterotypes will only be just that.

    The cartoon was a look at what happened in our past and what is going on right now in the present. If you don’t see anything wrong with your children watching videos then you shouldn’t have a problem with your children watching this cartoon.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/STUD_DEFINITION/ STUD_DEFINITION

    Whats fascinating about this is not the coonery, the the acceptance of it. I.E. its just a cartoon, its for adults ect… I worked as a living history teacher back in Texas to put myself through school. Once while discussing a former slave home I had a little white kid no more than 10 asked “Do you watch the P.J.s?” I told him that I have seen it once or twice. Then he asked “Is that what the projects are really like?” His Mom waited for me to answer. Fortunately, my experience as a teacher kicked in rather than my emotions. I simply responded, that the P.J.swas just as real as the Simpsons. My point is simple.

    When we allow such coonery even the slightest such as this, we are contributing to the further decline of the Black condition. If we want a future without sterotypes we muts stamp down hard on things such as this. This is not a simple cartoon, it is a trojan horse. Those who can not see that or see it innocent might as well load up their forties, fried chicken, blunts, saggy pants, and 24 inch rims and get back to picking cotton now.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GOODFIND55/ GOODFIND55

    For all you offended people, If you don’t like it change the channel, It’s cable TV, block it out. I find it amazing that young people don’t like what’s in the cartoon, but will purchase a video by Lil Wayne, Lil Kim,and a few other that make booty videos, and have offensive lyrics. The cartoon offends, but the words Nigga and Hoe don’t in real life. Get real. Adult Swim offends, that’s waht they do, Most of thier cartoon have no social relevance. For that patronize TV one. People change your lifestyles and these vidoes/Movies won’t be made.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/northporter/ northporter

    I agree w/ Stud… it’s not that the cartoon is offensive and just plain tasteless (yes, I know Adult Swim is supposed to be offensive) it’s the problem of having other races think that we are all actually like this. They have no other black role models… sot hey tend to believe the crap they see on television. I have had young white teens ask me silly things such as, ‘where is your baby?’ ( I don’t have any children but I’m a young black woman, so I must have a baby daddy, right? ) or ‘what’s it like on welfare?’… yes they really believe these things… because they saw it on t.v. If young non black Americans think this way because of television imagine how the folks over seas view us… all w***es and pimps.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/northporter/ northporter

    I wish it were as simple as just changing the channel… even if I turn it off, my neighbors kid will watch it, my young cousin will sneak and see it after her folks go to be (yes, we all did things like that as teens). It pains me to know that even though it was created by Blacks and rappers and what not, a so called liberal station aired it… knowing the crap storm it would cause.

F**K how other races look at us! If you dont know how to make fun of your selves, then somebody will. Lets be real with ourselves for once, black people are gonna be just as ignorant as rednecks and vice versa, we are just as intelligent as any other race on this f**ked up earth. We will never be perfect. We dont always have to portray ourselves as the perfect well behaved people, cuz we are not. F**k the author of this article, he is a b***h ass uncle tom house nigga.

    THE CARTOON WAS FUNNIE I DON’T THINK NECESSARLY IT WAS FOR THOSE OF PEOPLE WHO LOOK AT OUR SOCIETY WITH THEIR NOSE TURNED UP AND LOOK AT HOW THINGS CHANGE FROM WHEN OUR PARENTS WERE GROWING UP TO NOW. YES IT POKE FUN AT CERTAIN THINGS BUT THERE WAS SOME HUMOR IN IT, OF COURSE HE COULDN’T MAKE THE CARTOON LIKE THE BOONDOCKS THAN EVERYONE WOULD HAVE SAID HE WAS COPYING AND NOT BEING HIMSELF. OVERALL IT WAS FUNNIE NO HARD FEELING AND NO BAD TONES IT IS WHAT IT IS. EVERYONE SHOULD RELAX AND LET COMEDY TAKE ITS COURSE THATS THE POINT OF COMEDY TO POKE FUN OF CERTAIN THINGS THAT UPTIGHT PEOPLE GET ALL SENSITIVE ABOUT. LOOK ADULT SWIM DIDNT HAVE NO MIX FEELINGS ABOUT IT OBVIOUSLY, IF THE SHOW COMES ON AGAIN IM DEFINITELY WATCHING IT!(OH YEA IM NOT YELLING NOR SCREAMING CAPS WERE ON WHEN I STARTED ^_^ )

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/miss_j23/ miss_j23

    Everyone is going to have their opinions about how to look at this cartoon….honestly I thought it was a hot mess….But this goes back to if you want to be treated a certain way and to be respected you must show respect for yourself. Otherwise many people will not give it to you. Ya’ll can say what you want about the Bill Cosby’s and Al Sharpton’s of the world….but I guarantee that those who talk about those people are the one’s looking for them to fix the inequalities of the world or want to blame the government for why they can’t achieve certain goals. Just take a moment to reflect and really open your eyes to the bigger picture. When you accept mess all you will receive is mess!

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! If it wasn’t for HATERS in the world how would anything prosper? HaHa!! Thanx BlackSlanted…wasn’t aware of it being on. I love the satire and love the idea. If it were a bunch of white kids laughing and talking about themselves like in ROADTRIP or SUPERBAD, yo ass at the movies laughing yo assess off fo sho!!! STOP HATE’N!!!!! Furthermore, you know damn well yo fat ass was at FREAKNICK ye damn self try’n to get a shawty to look at yo ass in dem tight ass shorts. KEEP IT REAL. This is our culture and we should stop being afraid to be who we really are. Funny how the world wants to be as BLACK as we are anyway, right. Think on it. In the mean time, in between time, start supporting instead of hindering. ye dig.

    …oh, one more thing people – remember — this is only entertainment. Of course we all have respect for ourselves, right? I am an Independent Filmmaker myself, a writer, videographer, and video editor. This type of material is fresh and hard to create because it’s natural. But for those who don’t understand, satire may be a bit heavy for you. Try to have an open mind and embrace our culture in it’s entirety.

    Thank you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lang54/ lang54

    Is it Art? Is it an examination of our culture? Is it suppose to convey a social message? Is it positive or negative? Is it necessary? Is it even entertainment? What is so great about all this is you can answer yes and no to those questions. Some people found the TV show Amos and Andy very offensive and others didn’t. If you are in the entertainment business or very close to people who are, you have a different perception about what is art and what is not. I find some parts of this video offensive. When you call our beautiful black women b***hes and hoes it gets my dandruff up! I have a granddaughter, a daughter, sisters and nieces that I tell all the time; “do not let anybody objectify you or try to devalue you by addressing you in that manner”. I also find offensive when our women backsides are over exaggerated for the purpose of humor and not for the sensuality of attraction. Much like the early cartoon depiction of black men with oversize eyes and big red lips. I don’t understand why any woman would not find that offensive and would let their children hear or see that and think it is ok. I don’t judge how others raise their kids and what values they try to instill but I have learned that common sense is not so common! I just wish we could be more ingenious or creative enough to make entertaining material without interjecting stereotypical, devaluing, self degrading images and words just to make a buck. That to me is the ultimate sell out!

    After reading some of the comments it is very interesting that a lot of people are saying “if you don’t like it turn the channel” what a (pardon my French) a crazy ass suggestion”. Have you ever seen the bumper sticker “ USA like or leave it” Do you think for one second that if you close your eyes just before you crash into a wall with your car that the wall will somehow disappear. I tell you what, have a ct scan and let the doc tell you they see a spot on your lungs and you tell him you don’t like what he sees and you are just going to walk out of his office and never come back! MLK once said “injustice any where is injustice everywhere” We have been deeply programmed to expect and accept meritocracy, self loathing, disrespect and poor education for so long that we even justify it when it hits us in the face. We accept and joke about things no other race of people would tolerate. Then we accuse others, who stand up and speak out against such nonsense as uppity, not in touch with reality, Can’t take a joke, too serious. Parliament (yes I am old school) had a song out that was titled “free your mind and your ass will follow” This is easier said than done! We need to educate ourselves about who we are and the value we bring to the table. We don’t need any body or race to validate us, educated us, feed us, like us, value us, love us, respect us, fight for us, do business for us, and portray us. Once we free our minds of this 400 years of programming and realize just who we are! No we don’t all have to think alike. But we all should have a standard of decency and values within our community that we all should refuse to supplant and greatly chastise anyone who would go there!

    i watched it and it was funny to me, but i also watch south park and uncensored stand up, some people just dont know how not to take everything serious, robot chicken is one of the funniest shows out and most of the time the jokes are 5 seconds long and have nothing to do with anything.. funny or watch the news

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/napturallyprofound/ napturallyprofound

    I don’t usually write comments, just read but I thought I’d write one on this issue..
    first off you can’t have your cake and eat it too..you can’t have freedom for everything and the be offended when somebody does something you don’t like. Take for instance the Issac Hayes (rest in peace) and South Park writers..he was fine all those years with making fun of everything under the sun until they made fun of Christian Science..you can’t take that stance..some things are ok and other are not..NOT FAIR..
    second this is on Adult Swim and comes on once the kids are asleep..if your kids are up at 11:30pm-12:00am, then you have other issues beside what’s on T.V..if you have older children watching this..then hopefully you’ve taught them the difference between indoctrination and entertainment..if somebody calls you a b@#$..does that make you a b@#$..NO..
    third..there is nothing more important going on in the world..the battle of what makes art, art..is long done..look back to the Larry Flynt ruling..you may not like the outcome..but it is what it is..don’t buy, listen, watch..it’s the downside of freedom..we as a people have other more pressing issues…education, health care reform, tax reform, welfare reform..if you want to fight about something..focus on the things that will make a difference..this battle is done..put a fork in it

    @lANG54

    People like you really make me itch..I mean yall really like to hear yourselves talk. did you feel good when you typed all that? I mean seriously its a F*CKING cartoon…its not real. none of that sh*t really happend, and YES LANG IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SH*T TURN IT OFF..its not the same as a F*CKING CAT SCAN at the doctor or a WALL MOVING OUT of the way if you bout to crash into it….those are two of the most DUMBEST analogies on the list of dumb sh*t to say that a person can use as an analogy.

    The reason people like YOU irritate me and make me ITCH is because you said ALL THAT literary talk and you’re going to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this cartoon. Nothing you can do or say will stop the drawing, produciton and online viewing of this cartoon. Its like when people B*TCH about politics….WTF can you “REALLY” do to stop it? You wanna type some SH*T LANG54 and those of you who side with him and people like him…all the rest of you who B*TCH and moan about SH*T….WTF can any of you DO to stop this?

    its like others have already said, if you dont like sh*t click the “X” button. B*TCHING and moaning wont stop it from being created. There are some singers and rappers that I jus do NOT LIKE…and so I DONT BUY their music…B*TCHING and moaning about how they SUCK wont stop the record company from putting their album out nor will it stop them from recording wack music…and so..I JUS DONT LISTEN TO IT….

    A solution…

    and advice to those of you who jus like to B*TCH about SH*T….find a solution to STOP the issue at hand. IF YOU CAN PREVENT OR PUT A STOP TO IT then DO that….otherwise trying to stress your meaningless points about MEANINGLESS BULLSH*T is downright F*CKING MEANINGLESS and will prove nor solve NOTHING!! It jus shows other more intelligent people that you all jus like to B*TCH and moan about SH*T…

    First of all you don’t know me!! If you did you would not have made those dumb ass statements. If you have an itch, see a doctor! I am entitled to say what the hell I want to say after all this is a country where we can. T pain has the right to make the cartoon. And once it is public it is subject to scrutiny. you are entitled to your opinion of what I said, but hold on bro, you are not entitled to attack me for what I said if you don’t know my history. Now, if you like to make wild ass assumption about someone whom you don’t know, it goes back to what I said earlier “common sense is not so common! I am not going to engage into a public name calling or insulting comments with you because it will not solve anything and no one will change their mind. I stand by what I said and all your cussing don’t frighten me in the least. If you want to debate this cartoon and it value to our community lets have that discussion. If you just want to rant like a little boy who just got his lunch taken by a playground bully you are in the wrong place! Like I said you don’t know me!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    What’s upsetting to me is there is nothing else out there to balance out what this cat is putting out there~ Boondocks is on the borderline of wild’n out so what is there?

    When folks out side of our community view things like this they think it’s the gospel~ especially since it’s coming from our own~ and what do they do when they try and copy us…they go straight to what they see and what is glorified on TV/Radio/Movies/Music Videos…

    Can it be stopped? No, it’s his right. Can we complain…hell ya cuzz thats our right. But just like the majority of the BP folks on here have written…if you don’t like it or support it, than do NOT tune in. I know I won’t~

    N*ggas love being illogical…why is it every time someone has a legitimate gripe with something the n*ggas always scream “hater”…no matter how logical the statement may be….no matter how much sense it makes…no matter how many points they have…

    Its like a mechanism…anytime you run out of things to say that are even somewhat rational…you just call them a hater and continue with the same dumb @ss logic….

    This show was nothing like south park…this show was nothing like the boondocks…

    There is a phrase used for sh*t like this…”What is this trying to say”…basically what is the show telling me?

    South Park has a lot of zany sh*t…but in the end there is a message to convey…a reason to WHY certain things were done…Same thing with the boondocks….thats Satire…Thats why the writing is considered so good…Just because these shows have the same level of craziness doesn’t mean that they achieved the same message…So in the end…what was freaknik trying to say?…..exactly…its either a satire or its basic television…it can’t be both. This was not a satire because it didn’t bring any means of improvement…duh…

    If you found the show funny…ok cool….So making a mockery out of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Insinuating the use of racial slurs towards white people,child neglect, and n*ggas being n*ggas is funny to you…for some reason that just don’t seem sane….

    Telling people to ignore it is funny too…your basically saying its ok to praise it for little reason but its wrong to criticize it for more serious reasons….that are actually valid…doesn’t make sense either…and ignoring a problem is the creation of another problem…

    I saw other users actually advocate this shows stereotyping with other shows such as ROADTRIP…here’s the problem…the stuff your stereotyping for those white people are not publicly known stereotypes…in fact…to them they arn’t even considered stereotypes…so it doesn’t effect them…and even if it did…your basically saying “hey if they make fools of themselves so can we”…which sounds stupid doesn’t it?

    And BET is horrible…if your saying its no worse than BET than all your doing is concurring with what the others are saying when they state how bad this sh*t is… I find a lot of people are advocating one piece of dumb sh*t with another…”Oh these people say what up n*gga so its all good…oh but some black people do act like this so its ok…oh they have booty videos on tv… so this isn’t as bad…” damn are you guys serious? Don’t you realize that THAT particular way of thinking is completely illogical. Its basically saying…”hey i don’t mind ignorance as long as its already out there and others are a part of it”…. dumb…

    Not to mention that most of these arguments are full of assumptions and generalizations…which makes the logic even more crazy…

    In the end…this show had no message…so therefore defending the means of the show is fruitless…Since there was no message, but a whole lot of general stereotypes being flushed out i think people have a good reason to be upset at the broadcast…If you don’t find anything wrong with the show then thats cool too, but you can’t criticize others finding fault with the show when you have nothing but nonsense to base your logic on.

    Its whatever tho….

    T-Pain’s show is pure ignorance. We have regressed as a group of people. We are the only group of people who defile and defame our women. We deny our heritage with self-hate and we are self-destructive. What kind of legacy are we leaving our children? The show is not a cartoon — it’s a “coontoon”. Absolutely shameful and unacceptable!

    I’m a 50 years old Black Man attending an accelerated school to obtain my Associates Degree in Network Security. I say this to make a point. The Black students that are in some of my classes on average, have been out of High School anywhere from .5 to 10 years. And they are some of the stupidest, most ignorant young blacks that I’ve ever met before in my life. What’s the term you use…GHETTO?!?

    They whine about homework, they whine about class work, but the topper happened today. A quiz was given where the instructor before giving the quiz, went over the entire quiz before handing it out.
    SHE GAVE THE ANSWERS TO EVERY QUESTION! And as soon she finished going over the questions and correct answers, she started handing out the quiz. But wait, it gets even better.

    Some of these a**hole said “No, give us more time to study.”
    It was a 10 question quiz, “True or False” quiz.
    And the most popular statement that was made after the quiz was given was, “At least my GPA will go up.”

    It very apparent that our educational system is failing Black America, and its happening on a scope and level never seen before in this country’s history.

    These are the people that will be watching this program. I normally watch Boondocks, but I couldn’t stomach 30 seconds of that crap. And if you don’t know…A WHITE MAN OWNS THE STATION…NIGGA!

    @Ashone 1

    Education hasn’t failed Black America, it’s the trifling and sorry ass parents. Think back when your were in school, parents made sure you do your homework every night. Parent encourage their children to bring home good grades, and discipline them with failing grades. Now, these days, some parents don’t care whether their can read within their grade level. Some of these trifling parent uses the education system as a glorified babysitter. Now schools have to provide breakfast and lunch; because, educators realizes being fed at school is the only chance for some children receive meals.

    I also employed at a institution of higher education, and listening to some of the students whining and complaining how some of the instructors aren’t allowing them to complete assignments past the original due date. I constantly explaining them that they are being prepared to enter the workforce, and they need to learn about honoring deadlines. When they enter the workforce, no supervisor or boss want to hear excuses why your projects aren’t completed. My baby was sick, I had to go to a funeral,or I was sick. I constantly tell these students you will be out of a job, if you constantly coming up with excuses for missing deadlines.

    As for the cartoon, what do you expect from a man whom wrote “I’m in love with a stripper!” not a Black woman with education, not a Black woman with ambitions,goals, and dreams, not a Black woman with a job or career. But a stripper!!! What do we expect from him, nothing!!! What’s really sad, that little girls are some focus on learning the latest dance moves, instead reading about history. This is sad!!!

    It’s called entertainment everyone!!!! And before you really think about it, have you watched any of the other things on Cartoon Network? The White people act a fool on there too, but that’s okay, but when a Black man do the same thing, everybody gotta judge? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

    As far back as I can remember, Saturday Night Live did dope like that had satirical jokes and things about sex, the Two Wild and Crazy Guys skit, those guys pants were tight and showing prints, and that was okay. But when we can joke about US it’s a problem, it’s bad for the Black children and everything else you can complain about.

    I have to honestly say that if I had my way I would take ALL my kids out of the School because the teachers I’ve seen over the past 5 to 10 years ain’t teaching the kids S.H.I.T. I went into my daughter’s school today to pick her up from a field trip and the clown that was in the office, didn’t know where they were? If y’all teachers spent more time teaching instead of talking amongst each other, and teach like I was taught, maybe so many kids wouldn’t have to have T-Pain for their educator.

    White People Satire is based on an entirely different whack problem.
    Maybe the opposite of those they [ironically] enslaved.
    For what’s been sacrificed already, we should never display ourselves as ‘coons’ accept maybe in historical theatrics.
    Have you noticed since Oboma, the network let’s these niggas show they’re ass . . .

    By the way . . .
    Believe me, chumps don’t survive teaching. It’s not a job.
    That’s why it’s mostly women. You have to have real compassion, patience and sacrifice a whole lot- which as you might attest, has little to no thanks. The content is academic. Teachers guide as well as instructs.
    Kid’s need to be nurtured to want to learn ‘themselves’.
    Modern culture is what impedes it. That’s what’s at issue.
    Responsibility to culture.

    Anyone who has a platform has a responsibility.
    Most especially if you’re an artist. I’m hoping this artist will use his talent to help stop the quickening erosion of Black Culture
    Be critical in these times.
    Animation has traditionally belonged to kids so that might be why we’re so sensitive.

Let me say I’m probably one of the most militant brutha’s there is trust and believe…. However at the same time, I was actually quite entertained and would like to see the full show…. Some of you complain about it because it doesn’t show us going to school to be Doctors or Lawyers which how many of us can really relate to that anyway? It showed some simple ghetto style fun… People it’s only entertainment, you always have the option not to watch it…. Take care and Stay Black…

    I’m not condemning him or his work.
    Artist work for the critique! That’s how the get better.
    I do admire and commend what he can do.
    I just want the brother[s] to remember how art throughout history has [also] been used for propaganda. It influences. . . like music.

    To the ‘other culture’ that continues to exploit us, ‘We don’t need creative freedom [enough rope] to hang ourselves.
    It’s like reverse psychology.

    Man…People always complain about stereotypes and coonery on these sites and pretend to be these black militants, knowing damn well outside of posting here, they really aren’t. It just seems like everything a black man is behind that has a few publicly known stereotypes in it, is pure coonery when a select few of people doesn’t like it.

    People talk about it didnt have a message for the kids and blah blah blah. Its called ADULTSWIM!! Nothing on the adultswim line-up can educate you. Yea of course some kids will get to watch it, but who’s the blame for that? If it was something my mother didn’t want me to watch as a kid, i didn’t see it.

    People blame these stars for the way these kids are being brought up these days. I personally feel like this…If a famous person has a higher influence on your own kids than you do, its something wrong with your parenting. I was raised to not get star struck, and I don’t get excited when i see famous people. They bleed just like me.

    I personally enjoyed the show for what it was, and i will watch it next time they show it. Some of you can continue to be silly little part time militants and complain about everything, while the rest of us will continue to enjoy this thing we call life.

    2) Carl Jones artistic style, he’s one of Aaron McGruder’s(Boondocks creator) peoples. being shown on Adult Swim he probly got a nice check off this project + promotion with all the rappers involved

    3) clowning all these fugazzi broke-back rappers AND these fake uncle tom so-called negro leaders who are on massah’s payroll, aka Boule’

    coon, T-Pain, why oh why do WE, Black people, keep using these terms. Should he use better judgement, yes, period.

    Come on really? Are we really going there with cartoons now? Is nothing offensive? Do we have to call the ACLU about everything? Be real.

    You want to see some coon sh*t, look at the mcdonald’s and tide commercials that show up on BET. R&B/Hip Hop songs about big mac’s and sh*t. What’s the point? Where does it end? Is that how we become equals with other races? By making people afraid to bring up anything that may have something to do with race anywhere lest they get scrutinized by the *insert racial/ethnic group here* community? SMDH.

    Freaknik was funny, period. Didn’t watch the whole thing? Don’t agree with me? Drop ya 2 cents and be out…

    I saw this cartoon and was not impressed. All the people on here who are opposing this cartoon should also oppose the movie Precious!!!That was a travesty of a movie and a lot of black people supported that.

    If you watch any shows on Adult Swim, they are not the PC shows that are around. That is basically any show they have regardless of color!!!

    oh dear… this was on adult swim? i am embarassed. this is definitely first class 21st century coonery. it does not look much different from the early 20th century cartoon depictions of blacks in warner bros. & disney cartoons. you can see some clips of these cartoons at the end of spike lee’s “bamboozled” all i can say is damn, what a set back

    IM NOT AGREEING THAT ITS RIGHT OR WRONG FOR THIS BUT IF YOU ARE GETTING MAD AT THIS. THAN YOU SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY BE MAD AT THE RADIO BECAUSE COONERY IS ALL OVER THE RADIO AND ALONG WITH THAT SOME OF THESE RADIO DJ’S ARE COONS THEMSELVES ITS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE AND NOT GOING TO WATCH IN THIS WORLD

    Coonery? I’m sorry, but if that’s coonery, then there’s a ton of it on ya TVs & radios everyday. Don’t get offended at a silly cartoon when you’re the same type glamourizing it–as long as some rapper or music video here. gtfouttahere.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Borobb/ Borobb

    Why must we always excuse this type of crap? It is straight coonery and buffoonery. No need for the Klan or right wing talk shows when you have these idiots doing their job for them.
    These people have no sense of history, no self worth. All they care about is making money to spend on RIMS, JEWELRY and the like. Instead of building a stronger foundation for themselves and their families.

    TO ALL THE FOOLS THAT SAY IT DOESN’T MATTER THINK OF ALL THAT HAVE DIED TO GET YOU THIS SIMPLE RIGHT, WHICH NOW YOU WOULD USE TO EMBARASS YOURSELF SO. T-PAIN CAN BEARLY READ, HE DIDN’T EVEN GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, AND YOUR ALLOWING SUCH AN IMBECILE TO LEND HIS TWISTED VALUES TO OUR CULTURE. NOW NO ONE IS SAYING EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE CONSERVATIVE BOOSHY TIGH-ASSES, BUT I’M ALSO SAYING WE DON’T NEED TO BE A BUNCH OF UNEDUCATED DUMB-ASSES THAT DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT & WRONG. WHEN YOU PUT OUT SOMETHING REFLECTING THAT PEOPLE IN COLLEGE ARE GAY, USING THE LIKENESS OF OPRAH TO SAY SHE’S THE LEADER OF THE BOOSHY BLACK PEOPLE, AND DISRESPECTING PRES. OBAMA, THEN YOU’VE LOST YOUR DAMN MIND. AT ANY RATE…IT APPEARS THE LACK OF FATHERS AND ACCEPTED IGNORANCE HAS FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH MY CULTURE. AS SAD AS THAT IS, WE KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME. WHEN SORRY IGNORANT BLACK PEOPLE BEGAN TO BEG FOR SLAVERY TO RETURN, WHEN THEY BEGAN TO VALUE THE VERY THINGS THAT WERE SUCH AN EMBARASSING REALITY LONG AGO. GOOD JOB BLACK YOUTH OF AMERICA…ONCE AGAIN…YOU’VE FAILED AS YOUR FOREFATHERS FAILED BEFORE YOU. “COONERY” NOTHING MORE THAN A NEW WORD FOR SAMBO, UNCLE TOM, HOUSE NIGGA, AND NOW THAT THE IGNORANT FOOLS LIKE T-PAIN ARE LITERALLY EXPRESSING THEIR IGNORANCE ON SUCH A VAST SCALE, IF YOU AGREE WITH IT, THEN YOU’RE SIMPLY APART OF THE MASS FAILURE I’M SPEAKING OF. SO, IF YOU THINK THAT THE TALENTED TENTH IN W.E.B. DEBOIS’S BOOK HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT T-PAIN WAS SUGGESTING, THEN YOU NEED TO GO READ HIS BOOKS AND SEE WHAT HE WAS SPEAKING OF HIMSELF. IF YOU THINK THAT GOING TO COLLEGE MAKES YOU SOFT, IN FACT SO SOFT THAT YOU WOULD BE CONSIDERED GAY, THEN YOU’RE SIMPLY A DUMB-ASS FAILURE. “LET THE STRONG STAND & NATURALLY SEPARATE FROM THE WEAK AND THE FOOLS.” GOD BLESS.

    Everything we fought for as intelligent African American always gets pushed back when we allow Ignorant people from our race to take the spotlight.We are not n****rs,b***hes w***es(hoes). This cartoon is NOT FUNNY,NOT ENTERTAINING and Not what and how we act. To the future writers, singers,rappers and anyone else who want to be in the spotlight.Put our people in a positive light.When you portray our people in a negative light, it shows others that this is all we are about. Thank God for our President!! KEEP IT REALLY REAL!!

    I watched that show the night it showed on Cartoon Network, and that sh*t was WACKA FLOCKA!!!!!!! It doesn’t get much cornier than that, except maybe T-Pain’s all-around style itself.

    I feel like its coonery but I can’t be mad at it because thats how some of us act. We all know somebody like that

If YOU know you don’t act like that, then I say don’t worry bout it. With all due respect, GET THE HELL OVER IT!! Sheesh…

    IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUNG FUN THEN MAKE SURE THAT YOU NEVER GET OLD, FOR REAL.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SUTRA913/ SUTRA913

    i do believe it has some coonery to it but most southern rappers are like that so it’s nothing new. i did like the song at the end tho.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SUTRA913/ SUTRA913

    and another thing black people are going to support this because we like coonery antics until a white person creates a show like this then we’ll be all offended then. man we need to wake up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ProfessionalsNetwork/ ProfessionalsNetwork

    OTHER RACES ARE ABLE TO HAVE MAJOR WHAT THEY CALL FUN EVENTS THAT GO DOWN IN HISTORY LIKE WOODSTOCK, CLAN RALLYS, ETC. BUT AS A PEOPLE WE ALLOW OTHERS TO ALWAYS CREATE A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR OUR PEOPLE AND WE DON’T MAKE IT HARD CAUSE WE’RE QUICK TO DO IT TO OURSELVES. AS SOON AS WE DO SOMETHING THAT SOME OF US CONSIDER FUN OR SOMETHING THAT PUTS A SMILE ON OUR FACES IN THE NAME OF FUN THERE’S A PROBLEM & IT HAS TO BE DEALT WITH & GOTTEN RID OF OR CONTROLLED JUST LIKE OLD SLAVE FOOD CHICKEN & NOW YOU GOT KFC. THESE RESTRAINTS OR DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE REALLY A MODERN DAY SLAVERY THAT WE PUT & ALLOW TO BE PUT ON OUR OWN RACE, WE GOT TO CUT THIS OUT ONCE & FOR ALL IT’S 2010 YA DIG.

    IF YOU HAVE A PERSONAL PROBLEM WITH YOUNG FUN THEN MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SPIRIT NEVER GETS OLD & BEFORE YOU SHOW WHAT APPEARS TO BE HATERISM REMEMBER HOW YOU WAS WHEN YOU WAS IN YOUR 20′S & WHAT YOU CONSIDERED ENTERTAINMENT OR FUN THAT IS IF YOU HAD A LIFE BACK THEN I DAMN SURE DID BUT THESE DAYS THEY HAVE A TYPE OF EVENT THAT YOU MAY WANT TO RESEARCH IN YOUR AREA WHICH IS PROBABLY MORE IN YOUR LANE IT’S CALLED “GROWN & SEXY” PROBABLY AT A NIGHT CLUB NEAR YOU, CHECK IT OUT…..

    I thought it was funny. I like it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tahjbeats/ tahjbeats

    LOL. Stop hating all those that call this coonery. This ish is kinda funny! And we can’t be mad about the stereotypes unless we didn’t have people that actually acted like this. I hate when I see these non-selfrespect having idiots on the street acting just like they’re being portrayed in this cartoon. If you want to be appalled about this cartoon, first be appalled when you see these same types out in the streets of your town, making YOU AND YOUR HOME look bad.
