The Boondocks, Season 1

Huey:
(narrating) We all know that the images we see can elicit strong emotional reactions. But I've always wondered: could the images we see do more than hurt us emotionally? Is it possible to see something so bad it actually hurts you physically? In other words, can too much black television kill you?

Expert guy:
(clears throat) The idea that too much black television can kill you is absolutely preposterous! I should know. I'm an expert. Can't you tell by my accent?

Huey:
(narrating) Actually, in 1999, 21 year old Shaquoia Peterson died suddenly in the 13th hour of the 24-hour Parkers' Marathon on UPN. The exact cause of death was never determined. Shaquoia's family settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money. UPN admitted no wrongdoing. I decided I would watch nothing but black people on TV for two weeks to see if I suffered from any adverse health effects. I started by getting a full physical at the health office.

Doctor:
Ah, your blood pressure is fine, which is unusual for black people, and your overall level of health is excellent.

Huey:
(narrating) These were the rules: I was only allowed to watch TV with a majority of African American performers. Commercials included.

Huey:
Okay... Nigga-lize me.
