It sucks that John Witherspoon passed away cause we need The Boondocks now more than ever. With all the fuckery that has occurred in the last few years, Aaron McGruder would have enough material to give us 10-11 seasons.
Hey. Just because you loved a show 15+ years ago does not mean it holds up today. I laugh at plenty of things that I later think about and regret. TV shows aren't just the best episodes/moments that you remember, they're also the really questionable and bad parts that you ignored and forgot. Satire requires wit, not just being hilariously offensive.
It's not "this new generation's" problem for calling out your problematic fave, it's the problem of the people who put it on the air. A lot of your favorite creators turn out to be gross people. That's just how it works.
Btw a tip: if a lot of your fave show's humor revolves around women being only body parts and sex objects, lgbt+ people being funny because of how they have sex and behave, disabled people being funny for being disabled, and other minorities acting like stereotypes...then guess what, it's most likely a bad show, even if you laughed.
Look – fuck you, fuck the plane you flew in on, fuck them shoes, fuck those socks with the belt on it, fuck yo [. . .] accent, fuck them cheap-ass cigars, fuck yo yuck-mouth teeth, fuck yo hairpiece, fuck yo chocolate, fuck Guy Ritchie, fuck Prince William, fuck the Queen. This is America. My president is black and my Lambo is blue, nigga. Now, get the fuck out my hotel room and if I see you in the street, I'm slapping the shit outta you.
