Have you guys ever watched Boondocks? McGruder is a harsh critic of dysfunctional black culture.

But seriously, the only objective of something like this is to inflame.

It's hilarious to suggest that the societal goals of whites and blacks between the civil war and now have been so diametrically opposed that it would create some alternate universe. That premise should be just as offensive to blacks as it is to whites.

You don't know that. Like I said this guy writing it has a history of making fun of black pop culture. I'd be willing to bet it turns out to be a comedy and dipicts the black run south as a shite show.

Bingo. He devoted an entire episode to MLK having been in a coma and tearing the black community a new one when he woke up and saw what it became.

The problem starts with the premise and will end with falsehoods of the reality towards how this would play out..

The fact that a completely uneducated (not by choice) demographic would be given control and could somehow not fail while being surrounded by successful areas is a laughable premise..

They will then be forced to sugarcoat the reality and force upon us some overt lies to sell the eventual success.

If it's anything like the boondocks it will be pretty funny and self deprecating, much like chapelle's show which everyone loves.


I'll check out the pilot simply because I love The Boondocks.

An amazing episode. I don't know how anyone could see this and think that this show will be anti-white. LINK NSFW due to language

L O fricking L

In a world where The Walking Dead is the highest rated show on cable, you're upset about a show where black people control parts of the south?

Newsflash - they're both fictitious shows and neither zombies nor blacks are coming for you.

History has been whitewashed ,literally, to diminish the African American influence on civilization. Columbus wouldn't have made it to America without a black navigator. Jack Daniels wouldn't have his liquor without a free black man showing him how to distill whisky. The list goes on and on, but for some of you to figure that the world would be in total chaos is absurd. Google the black Wall Street to educate yourself.

No need to imagine. We could save a lot of time by posting a live feed of New Orleans East.

Not that good an analogy. Amero-Liberians are only 5% of the population and most live well. The indigenous population lives like that picture.

They could just do a show about Liberia, or Somalia, or any of the other myriad successful black ruled countries.

Peanut butter was invented by the Incas and numerous other civilizations that had access to peanuts.

It's just mashed up peanuts
