What happened to the Boondocks?

Boondocks was a comic strip that used to be in the Chicago Tribune. The comic was created by Aaron McGruder. The comic touched on controversial topics. After nation wide recognition, CN (Cartoon Network) decided to give them Aaron a chance to bring his vision to life. The animated show was an instant success. Everybody had something good to say about the show.

The show is about two African boys who view life in the African American community. Their names are Huey and Riley Freeman. They discuss racial stereotypes, gangster rappers, modern events, and black celebrities. The way the stories are told makes one think about the hidden content. The topics discussed crosses the line for some folks. But for some reason, the cartoon network has dumped the show.

This is a problem. They would show the viewer count before every show. The count was always in the millions. This was the highlight for CN every night at ten. But during the second season, I could tell that the content was getting way out of line. Aaron changed his approached to educating the viewers watching it. For example, he had a topic about the government being responsible for 911. Other episodes were about slavery, hurricane Katrina, and the other was about Martin Luther King being alive today.

This show was the gateway to the truth. I think someone with higher power wanted the show to be taken off. Sterilize the seed and it will never grow. Since the show was so demanded and popular, the CN would switch the times the show would come on. So audience were confused and they would miss the show. Changing the times was the only way the ratings could go down. They would switch from 11:30pm to 2am, or 10;30pm to 1am. I knew that this was done intentionally because they stopped running ads for it. The CN would not even announce the changed times. This happen for a while until it just disappeared from the network. I don't know what Aaron is up too, but I know we have not seen the last of him.
