Is humor truly blind, or are there lines that even satire shouldn't cross? The character of Uncle Ruckus from "The Boondocks" remains a lightning rod, igniting debates about race, representation, and the boundaries of comedic expression.

Uncle Ruckus, the self-loathing, perpetually angry, and staunchly pro-white character from Aaron McGruder's animated series "The Boondocks," is a figure that elicits strong reactions. Some view him as a brilliant satire of internalized racism, a caricature so exaggerated that it forces viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about prejudice and self-hatred. Others see him as a perpetuation of harmful stereotypes, a minstrel show in modern animation that normalizes racist rhetoric. Whatever the perspective, Uncle Ruckus is undeniably a complex and controversial character, sparking dialogues that resonate far beyond the screen.
