The Boondocks question

[Toocool100]

You have to have seen this episode to know what im talking about...

In the episode of the Boondocks where Mr. Freeman was overshadowed by Rosa Parks (the black lady who wouldn't move to the back of the bus), why was he ignored when the white guy clearly saw him and ignored him and focused on the black lady to move.

why was he ignored?

[The-Narrator]

Probably because she was black AND a woman. That is why!

[Jerkapotamus]

He thought Mr. Freeman was more likely to have a weapon.

The white guy made those other two black guys move

[Kaleidoscope]

It was probably just an mistake in the animation or something.

Robert Looked alot lighter than rosa, maybe they dont discapline the lighter skinned african americans as much.

[I-Own-Yer-Face]

Because it says nothing in history about a black dude with Rosa Parks. So it was a joke because they only took Rosa Parks because she is the famous one, Mr. F is a made up character, you dig?

[TheRadicalOne]

I think the REAL Boondocks question is,
do you really get raped in holding?

I wonder that every day..

I also wonder if there is a huge black man by the name of the health inspector in every prison.

1)Because they were more focused on her. "What are ya? Some black history pioneer?"
2)Also, no one else was really mentioned in history with her.
3)They wanted him to "Stay out of trouble."
4)Its funnier.
5) Don't remember correctly, but I think she said it first.

Odd and true, yet funny episode.

[Bee-Yatch]

Episode was aired on last night... and it was stately cleared because she was a woman. You could notice it in the white guys voice.

[Fedges]

Because it fit into the story and was fucking funny, thats why.

[Tantalus]

Because it was all in Huey's imagination?

[boloneyman]

Maybe its making light if the fact that what happened to Rosa Parks happened to many african americans back then, but no one seemed to notice until it happened to Rosa.

[FruitesOfSuccess]

But im still not so sure... why did the white guy tell the other two black guys to go to the back of the bus... but the white guy never said anything to mr. freeman

[RacistBassist]

its because the guy only said no when rosa parks said no.......... i will not move the back of the bus

He did, he looked right at him and said something like "You too to the back" he said "no" then the policeman ignored him and told Rosa.

Didn't he tell Robert to move? When Robert refused the guy didn't seemed phase and immediately asked Rosa to move.

[KupaMan]

It was just the point that he didn't really care that he was sitting there, and only that Rosa Parks was which made it funny. That show kind of sucks, though. Fake anime with black kids? No thanks. The one with the phony gangster was pretty funny, though, and so was the first one.

I just thought it was funny because Freeman stood up for himself just the same as Rosa, only when he did, the guys just didn't care. The point is that no one gave a shit about him doing the exact same thing.

Because it was a joke. It isn't going to affect the rest of the story, it was just something little to put in that was funny. Don't dwell on stupid shit!

Correction: it's discipline, not "discapline".
