Behind the facade of controversy, it is a very moving and intelligent show

score 8/10

I like this show for being critical towards both the black community as well as the white community. Spiritual father McGruder doesn't choose one side, but is showing the dubious way of thinking of members of both sides. He's showing us the outrageous injustice done towards black people as well as the utter dumbness of rappers and their gangster-culture.

This is satire with a highly enjoyable edge to it. You could compare it to Southpark. Though I must add that this show is far superior. Between the exterior of insulting, provocative jokes and violence, there is a loudly beating heart that shows the emotional engagement of the creators with the subject. They really want to make a statement, instead of just ranting on everyone.

The episode with the fictional resurrection of Martin Luther King is brilliant. It's so damn true that he would be ignored if he'd be against the war on terrorism. It moved me more than any other cartoon show ever did.
