Hell, wasn't it technically supposed to be a way of "calling out" "black culture's" self-destructive tendencies? I know the first season of the animated series certainly tried getting that across. Especially their "MLK survived but was in a coma for decades" episode.
I have to assume the latter, because, well, if you aren't familiar with just how... broken Black American culture truly is, it would be easy to dismiss it as fiction.
It's weird. Even though there were sad times I still miss how innocent and naive I was about the world. I hadn't seen anyone die yet. I hadn't lost anyone yet.
I was born in a place where there are no black people (yes, we actually moved from such a place thinking it would be better) and I used to think black people were like Michael Jordan, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, etc. Turns out that wasn't so.
I moved to South Carolina at one point (Navy kid) and was in a neighborhood that was mostly hispanic, black, and indian. I was constantly bullied and ganged up on for being white, even got into a massive fight on a couple occasions. Still wasn't as rough as my mother had it, who grew up in Chicago and went to an all black school. She was the only other white kid in that school. Constantly picked on by kids and teachers, told she couldn't have any friends or play at recess because she was white, etc. Adults were telling this to a child under the age of 7. Luckily she moved out to the country of Illinois.
They bitch and complain about being oppressed by whitey, yet are perfectly capable of doing the same shit and being just as, if not, more racist.
"You have to understand, you have to look at it from every child's point of view who was raised in The Hood, how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school?"

And every dig at BET, nigga moments, etc.

I legitimately thought black people did not exist and were made up just like the blue people from Avatar.
Ahh, youth

Generation Zyklon is the best.

One demanded to my mom for me to give him my bike.
If that ain't a metaphor for them I don't know what is.

Where did you grow up that black people were so foreign as to be mythical?
Following
Hell India and China are both such countries but I doubt any of us would want to live there.
Some tiny place in England that doesn't really exist any more.
Lmao no it just got swarmed. Its name is the same but everyone there I liked fled.
They did make black people as portrayed seem unbelievable, if you weren't familiar with them. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
You would think-

Black people lol
I was expecting Fleece Johnson, the Booty Warrior.
You're going to look back at those years and cherish your innocent, blissful ignorance more and more as time goes on.
Lol I already do. I still miss when I was under 10 and thought the worst people out there were Sonic fans who didn't agree with my Sonic opinions.
Chris-Chan? Is that you?
Nope, wrong race.
