    I remember a time, when if something offended you....you just turned it off

    lol...what the hell has happened to society these days. Stop bitching, and moaning about being "offended", by this show ,and that movie, and this painting, and that song...you dont like something? dont watch/look/listen to it...dont want your kids watching it?...dont let em'

    It is really sick, despicable and down right ARROGANT, for you to think that YOUR opinion is all that matters.moreless

    "Bad"
    I would like to address the writers from last night episode. I just found out about your show because my son was watchin it . I want to say that as a hard working African American i think your show should be cancelled due to the ongoing use of the n...ga word i have taught my son about powerful Black Leaders who made a difference in this world and to watch how this show degrade my culture last night by having various of black men shot covered in blood and to say that all blck are killing each other and we are on welfare, and the use of cussing is ridiculous. Young kids views this i will not support a show who think it's humorous to see are culture as a joke. Cancel your showmoreless
  • Did you guys know this show has stereotypical humor?

    To all those who have dissenting opinions about this show:

    This show is stereotypical, and that's what makes it hilarious. Did you want to watch normal black people instead? Or perhaps you wanted them to slip black people into an anime and have them act normal with the only difference being the skin color? Get over yourselves, it's just comedy... If you don't like that kind of humor, don't give other people grief and act like your opinion is THE truth, it's YOUR opinion. I don't have a single friend that acts like any of these characters and thats what makes it hilarious to me. I deal with normal people everyday, I don't wanna go home after a long day of work and watch normal people again!! (that's a Patton Oswalt reference btw) I don't care what ethnicity you are, you should be laughing your asses off, because it's so ridiculously funny. If you thought you'd learn something about blacks watching this show, then that makes you a one dimensional character.moreless

  • Another show where white people have to praise and cheer so it doesn't seem that they are coming off racist.

    "Abysmal"
    Well, I have read many reviews of this show before it came out and saw all those little ads on Cartoon Network. I told myself not to judge it until I saw the entire episode. A lot of times I misjudge some of the new shows on Adult Swim like Stoker & Hoop and The Venture Brothers. Now it is 30 minutes since this show has started. This whole show is just about black people, once again blaming whites for all the problems in the world and how there is a conspiracy against them. We get it. Whites are the Devil! GET OVER IT! Put some jokes in the show. This is Adult Swim on Sunday night. The shows at this time are supposed to be funny. All this show is, is just blacks repeating the same mantra of white people being evil. I'm really disappointed at the people of Cartoon Network. They decided to be socially relevant instead of providing laughs and irreverent comedy to their core and loyal viewers like they have been doing for the past couple years. And the only reason why I even gave this show a 1 is because the person playing the grandpa was the father in the Wayans Brother show. Oh yeah, the person writing this review is not a white person. I'm a slope, no, yellow, no, I mean I'm Asian. Had to be PC.moreless
