Although the creator of this television show, Aaron McGruder, is a liberal, he has been one of the harshest critics of "Black Culture" in the last decade. He has attacked BET Television, the rap music scene, race-baiters like Sharpton and Jackson, welfare dependency, etc. Although much of his work comes across superficially as being racially "political correct", his underlying themes are all generally opposed to the self-destructive nature black celebrities and politicians.
His previous television series, The Boondocks, just concluded after four seasons. Interestingly, almost all contemporary depictions of racial prejudice where by black characters. I would not be surprised if this new series was a vehicle for satirical criticism of the welfare state.

Exactly. I don’t know why Comedy Central has these shows on. They aren’t funny. The concept is stale and banal. Its been done a million times before. It certainly isn’t “edgy” or “controversial.” Quite frankly, its pathetic. As you mentioned, a real “edgy” and “controversial” show would be “pot smoking Mohammed” who curses and sits around getting high. But we all know we won’t see that.
Sometimes I think, do we really need Christians to start killing people and slitting throats go gain some respect? I’m certainly not advocating that but it seems like the only way to get society to respect Christians. Our media elites will flat out tell you that the reason that they don’t ridicule Islam is because they are afraid.

This is Cartoon Network watched by children.
They really need to make “Adult Swim” a separate channel

Black Liberation Theology [...] a proper image of a Black MessiahI'd be 100% in support of mocking Black Liberation Theology if they hadn't gotten Jesus involved.

Adult Swim cartoons specialize in the dark, depraved and disturbing take on life.Cartoon Network's commercials for the Adult Swim shows are very informative: they show me exactly why I don't want to watch them.
