The Boondocks: Granddad's Ho

Posted on November 21, 2005 4:22 PM

Last night, “The Boondocks” posed an age-old question. A question that has haunted and taunted man since the beginning of time… “Can you turn a ho into a housewife?”

I know it is something I have pondered time in again as I am in the club. Who hasn’t? But do you really think you can take the chick in the club who is dropping like she’s got the night off from Magic City home to meet moms? Or that mami in the tight jeans and tube top at the sneaker spot is worthy of meeting your kids? Well, Grandad did last night when he “picked up” Cristal (“like the champagne”) at the grocery store.

From the start, all the tell tale signs were there… She always wanted money, ran real fast in high heels, kept asking if he was a cop and always ducked when she was a man in a purple suit (No, not Barney). Everyone saw it but good ole Grandad. Damn.

And yes, I know these are fictional characters but it does raise a valid point. People are who they are. You can’t make someone something they’re not. And the same can be said for a lot of people. If you’re a hood, you’re a hood. If you’re a ho, you’re a ho. If you’re a sell-out, you’re a sell-out. So, why try to change someone? Because we think we can.

I have dated my fair share of dumb chicks that I pray will get smarter or ghetto chicks who I hope I can work the Pretty Woman angle on but, at the end of the day. They who they are. They have to want to change.

So, I guess you can’t turn a ho into a housewife, but you sure can have fun trying. Just remember, “Game recognizes game… and you’re looking unfamiliar.”

Yours truly,

Dark Kent… like the writer.

  • i've tried to get into this show but something about white/hispanic looking characters drawn in an asian illustration style that sound like black women posing as black teenagers just isn't working for me.

  • I love this show. I think the anime-style artwork is dope.

    I know it's not for everyone, but this is definitely my kind of humor.

    And it's true... you can't make a ho into a housewife! Pops should have known.

    Instead of trying to smash he should have been trying to cooooooooordinate.

  • What I can say about it is heh she gettin that money, most of these chicks that talk terrible about hoes are often the ones that fuck for free. So if a chick wants to get paid to get laid so be it. I see nothing wrong with that. If you are able to control the prostitute, good luck. Just pay it and lay it.

  • Yeah the show is funny and a breath of fresh air in a society that only gives hip hop a very short leash. Let just make sure we walk away with some insight to how some of our day to day prejudices work. This show isn't just pokin' fun a caucasians and the famous. It's showing a great example of the dysfunctional thinking of our hip hop generation.

  • The pimp was named "A Pimp Named Slick Back."

    And shout out to "Da Dumbest Nigga" on the check-in. Keep reading, punk.

  • This show is an honest commentary into our lives. I've loved this comic strip a long time because of its honestly and lack of restraint. Aaron is awesome. The Riley character is truly indictive of some of the ways our children are programmed to think about the "gangsta...pimp..thug life" culture.

  • Yo smokey,
    Where can I find that download for the MM/Game dis of YG?

  • Man this show is the shit, A Pimp Named Slickback, that fool had me rolling on the floor. And Riley, "...the fam don't get chedda biscuits and this random broad is eating on some chedda biscuits...", they killin it with this show, it kinda pisses me off more that Chappelle's Show ain't on anymore because between those 2 shows, I'd be straight.


    That Money Mike & Game joint is calle "Palm Pilot" in cas anyone was interested it's on the Big Mike Presents...Ghost Unit, hilarious.

  • bfresh says...
  • If u like the show, u gotta check out the comic strips, they're way funnier. They got like five books out, if any of you actually know where A book store is, actually let me take that back, the people on this blog seem to be better than the normal people who post, yea, go to a book store and cop that, there more political, and at the same time, they clown everybody, black, white, they don't give a fuck. Oprah, Kobe, Bush, Queen Latifiah, R. Kelly,Vivica Fox, Cheney, Condolezza Rice,nobody is safe from Aaron Gruder.

  • November 22, 2005 3:49 PM
  • smokeymacpott420@yahoo.com says...
  • Yeah it is called Palm Piolt and you can get it on WINMX if you know what that is. Yo anyone see that The Game is going to be a B-Ball player and live the hoop dream, lol and he also started Black Wall Street East and is TRYing to sign charlie Baltimore? CRAZY!

  • SJ says...
  • All we know about this bitch is she's a hoe, she lazy, she eats everything and she cheats at playstation!

    This show is hilarious... I'm up in Canada and we don't get it on TV here but thank god for the internet...

    Ep 2 with Charlie Murphy as the crazy white boy was jokes... he needs to be a recurring character..

  • Please, if the makers of this show are wacthing. DON'T MAKE WHITE PEOPLE SAY THE WORD "NIGGA"! Everytime Crystal said nigga, I felt like seriously hurting a random-ass white person. I don't give a fuck, all white people are the same. Wiggers wanna say that shit, racists wanna say that shit.

    I love this show, but if another white character on this show says nigga, you can bet I'll be punching out some white man! White people love saying the word nigga, when nigga's can't hear them. Even arabs, indians, and chinese love sayin that shit.

  • November 24, 2005 12:29 AM
  • SMOOTHSMITTY says...
  • HOLD UP WAIT MINUTE LET US PUT SOME THINKING IN IT. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE "BOONDOCKS" A VERY FUNNY SHOW.IT POKES FUN AT EVERYBODY AND IF ARABS, INDIANS AND CHINESE( ESPECIAL WIGGERS) LOVE SAYING THAT SH*T AND THE BOONDOCKS WANT TO POKE FUN AT IT, I BET IT WOULD BE FUNNY AS HELL ON SO MANY LEVELS. AND ALSO Demiks ALL DUE RESPECT YOU SOUND AS IF YOU REALLY NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM TELEVISION. READ A BOOK, GO FISHING BUT PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM TV.

  • November 24, 2005 12:59 PM
  • Demiks says...
  • Yo smooth, you don't think that if this show, shows white people saying nigga. It won't stop from white people in real life using it? Monkey see, monkey do.

  • "I don't give a fuck, all white people are the same. Wiggers wanna say that shit, racists wanna say that shit." - Demiks

    Wow. "All white people are the same."
    How is this not a racist comment?
    Seriously, dude, there really are lots of white people that don't automatically think you're going to shoplift when you walk into a retail store, that don't automatically assume that you listen to rap, and don't automatically assume, well, any damn thing about any particular black person. The color of my skin does not define my morals, ethics or my belief system.

    Yes, there are racist & bigoted white people. But to say that all white people are racist is no different than saying all black people like grape soda (which by the way, I didn't even know was a stereotype about black people until Foxxy Love on Drawn Together brought it to my attention).
    Both are prejudiced and stereotypical and offensive statements.

    My closest friend is black, and its a total non-issue. We're friends because we have similar interests and have a blast when we hang out, not because of some melanin.

    Here's the deal; whether you're black or white, racism is simply a sign that you're a lazy fuck. If you're too damn lazy to find a unique reason to hate a specific individual, and choose to lump people into easy to hate groups, then you're pretty pathetic. I choose to like or dislike someone based on their personality and attitude, not skin color.

    Just thought you should know that when the time comes it's not going to be black vs. white; it's going to be ignorant racist bigots (black & white) versus those of us that laugh at the idea of discrimination. The only race that matters in the end is the human race, regardless of the 0.0001% (or less, I believe) difference between a white and black person.
    Dammit, we all came from the Fertile Crescent, anyways, we're all distant cousins in the grand scheme. Get past this bullshit about skin color and move on.

  • FIRST OF ALL DEMIKS CRYSTAL WAS NOT WHITE JUST YO TYPICAL LIGHT SKIN GOLDIGGING HOE SECOND THIS SHOW IS DOPE BUT I DONT THNK IT WILL LAST ON CARTOON NETWORK IT MAKES FAMILY GUY LOOK LIKE TELTUBBIES AS SOON AS WHITE AMERICA GETS THIS SHOW ON THIER RADAR THEY WILL TRY TO CANCEL OR MOVE TO A MORE ADULT TYPE OF CHANNEL

  • November 27, 2005 10:52 AM
  • HazardX says...
  • White America? There's more of the racist crap.
    Not all whites think alike. I think the show (and the comic, which I've read for years) is hilarious.
    Next time, try a more accurate grouping, like, "AS SOON AS WHITE The Moral Majority GETS THIS SHOW..."
    That at least is basing it upon a political standpoint and not a racial one.

    But,hey, it is easier to throw out a racially-biased term. See my above post for my opinion on that crap.

  • November 27, 2005 9:42 PM
  • HazardX says...
  • Note: I missed a bit of cut & paste above. I meant to cut out the WHITE AMERICA part and substitute with THe Moral Majority, i.e.:
    "AS SOON AS The Moral Majority GETS THIS SHOW ON THIER RADAR..."

    Sorry for any confusion.

  • I'm so feeling this show. It's refreshing to see an animated black show with intelligent characters and the typical dumb ass n1ggas that we see running around in the street.
    It's so damn real. I think all the stuff that Huey Freeman is thinking everyday as I walk through the streets and see my folks actin' up. Why folks? Why can't we conduct ourselves like we've got some sense in public? I do want to see some positive Black females in this show though. No more Mariah-type hoes or big assed heffas like the sista at the Robert Kelly trial.
    Let's all write A.S. and let them know the love we have for the show and to keep the good times coming!

  • Yo, it feels so good to see some intellegent black people on Tv. Lol For real I felt like I was alone. They only show one kind of black people usually and this finally gave me something to relate too. Go boondocks. '...niggas'

  • you know, I thought this blog was about wether we could a ho into a housewife. every black women isn't a ho and isn't a gold digger. as you saw on that episode, the girl was a prostitute, not a regular working or studious type so it's not fair to put that girl in that type of catagory, most prostitute realize that their doing wrong when they get raped or go through drugs or catch STDs so......

    Anyways I've dated all types of women who wanted to be with me because of money. I'm not one to live beyond my means, but I do treat a girl out if I asked out on a date, I've had my share of girls that are below me intelligence, but it doesn't take away from them having a heart so I won't judge a book by it's cover, which is what most mofos are doing in here, talking like you would want to elevate your own people, I don't mind refining a woman if it takes paying for her to go to school. I've been with project chicks that don't know any better and hey, how can you blame for wanting a better life. everybody wants it all in the Land of Milk And Honey. but see it's when you deal with a white chick that it's different. atleast black women are upfront when they need something, they don't sweet talk you into it like white girls do, well, the ones I've heard about anyways. the ones that I've met at the club are not always dumb, damn, will you please get your hand off your dick puffin' your chest out. not every women is a ho, and we need to stop making them feel like that. I don't mind seeing a beautiful smart women even if they're not that smart. I try to make them do right and keep it moving, so, yes, I'm what you might call "Captain-Save-A-Ho" I mean, damn, can I try and help my people damn.

    and as for the pimps, they need some counseling, becuase if I had my way, I'd snipe every one of those insecure mothafuckas because they have no place on this earth, they are worst snakes, they're below snakes, dumb fucks, calling they women bitches using their women like it's theirs. you have ho-ass niggas that do the same when they find a good women too, they have to go and use the girl for her money, I've seen them niggas driving their girl's car to another women's place. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR, DAWG, THAT IS NOT BEING A MAN,

    I REPEAT, EVERY fucking pimp should be shot or tortured Hussein style, fuck them, they can eat a dick. I dont' care for none of them flashy-faggot looking niggas anyways, white, latin or black, all across the board
