The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for December 11, 2014

Yes, I think we all know what you’re trying to say.

The artist drew many of the lighter colored folks (you know, peachy) as being rather air-headed. It doesn’t get any better, so might as well get used to it. Much of the dry wit is worth the read.

She’s always concerned. She even cares about Huey and his issues and his feelings, even though he’s only some neighbor’s boy. She doesn’t fully comprehend him though as his intelligence is shown to be way above her head. And the things she says come out as flubs and well-intentioned mistakes all the time. Her daughter has disassociation issues, and she (the mother) is shown as not quite bright enough to know how to help but extremely caring-and-concerned enough to tell anyone whose views would bother her daughter to back the heck off. Yelling and such. Remember the principal on the phone, not too long ago? Rather than knowing enough to be any voice of reason, though, she instead latches on to causes and picketing and mostly yelling at those ‘other whites’ as being racist. Very concerned. Not too bright..Plenty of the less involved characters don’t seem to care so much, true. It seems to be mostly a curiosity of folks who haven’t been exposed to a new culture before. Especially that girl who follows them around and wants to touch their hair. The series is dated after all, and there used to be past-segregated areas like this. But I’ve never seen a smart non-dark person here. Although I’ve missed a few strips from time to time.

Omigod..she’s so conceited
