What's up, Aaron McGruder?


I love The Boondocks, a lot. It was a brilliant comic strip, and then it was a brilliant (if occasionaly hard to watch) TV show.

Considering all the experience he has had with angry letters, I'm pretty sure Aaron McGruder doesn't care how bummed out I am about the total lack of any black female characters who are not f*ed up on the show. But if I won one of those contests where you can ask a famous person one question, mine would be:
"What's up with all the hate for black women, Aaron Mc Gruder?"

There are two women who are normal/regular on the show. One is white and the other is biracial. Black women only show up to be crazy or disgusting. Or Maya Angelou. Hmm, I guess it's like Fox News surmised the other day.

Black women fall into two categories: Angry and Oprah.
