The Boondocks, Season 2
(while playing checkers with Robert at the park)
Uncle Ruckus:
Oh, we probably gonna die any second now from one of these conditions and diseases niggas get. You name it, diabetes, gout, high blood pressure, asthma, sickle cell (Robert interrupts mid-sentence)...
Robert:
Oh, Ruckus stop. This is all in your damn head,you the exact same fool you were last week. You were black then,you're black now and you're gonna be black tomorrow.(Ruckus sighs dejectedly) Ain't nothin' wrong with being black and if you give it a chance you might actually like it, Hmmm? Mmm hm?
(Cut to Robert and Uncle Ruckus at a Foot Locker)
Robert:
Ruckus, what are we doing here?
Uncle Ruckus:
Well, this is what niggas do,right? Buy sneakers, then maybe later we'll buy loud stereos and be-rate women in rap lyrics. (looks at a display hi-top sneaker with visible shock absorbers). Is this the shit you niggas wear nowadays? This look like a damn astronaut shoe! I'm black, I'm not walkin' to the moon! I'm walkin' to the liquor store!
Robert:
Ruckus, STOP! C'mon man.
Uncle Ruckus:
LeeBron James, Allen Iverson,can I get a shoe named after a white man, PLEASE?! (spots a young black male Foot Locker employee) 'Scuse me, darkie in the zebra shirt! Can I get a Bruce Jenner sneaker?
Robert:
Man, to hell with this bullshit, you on your own! (walks out of the Foot Locker, leaving Ruckus behind).
Uncle Ruckus:
I'm not leavin' here 'till I get me a shoe named after a white man! John Stockton, Pistol Pete Maravich, ANYBODY!
