A not so flattering portrayal of Aaron McGruder
FrontPage Magazine has written a story about Aaron McGruder and how the comic feature “Boondocks” was created and how it became a television show. Along the way, it delves into Aaron’s politics and social views.
McGruder likes being offensive. He comes billed – in large part by himself – as the angriest black man in America and his “Boondocks” comic strip has been called “Peanuts meets the Nation of Islam.” But even that doesn’t quite capture the man.

So glad the Boondocks are coming back next week. I was beginning to grow worried and depressed that they may not return. Keep up the good work Sir.
