However, I do feel that it is absolutely important that, regardless of how objectionable one may find The Boondocks, one should watch the episode in which the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is no longer late. Instead of dying from his wounds in 1963, Dr. King was rendered into a coma, only to awaken suddenly in 2006. I won't ruin anything about the episode's hilarity and satire, except to say that Dr. King is quite surprised to see what has become of his work. Please, please, please: watch this episode. Not only is it funny, but it will make the you think long and hard about not only yourself, but the direction of the country. It is even more so relevant now that America has elected an African-American president, and all this talk has surfaced about Dr. King's dreams. Watch it. You won't be disappointed.
We need more of this type of hard dialogue.
