The Boondocks, Season 3

(Uncle Ruckus talks about how his adopted father always used to abuse him)

Uncle:
(voice over) I had two younger brothers: my brother Darryl, and my other brother Darell, but Mister always seemed to single me out the worst. (young Darryl and Darell bump on the table, knocking over a vase and breaking it accidentally) I would get beatin’s fo' anything.

(Mister comes into the house and notices the broken vase, blaming young Uncle)

Mister:
(furious) Nigga, did you just break that vase?!

(Mister slaps Uncle violently all the way to the floor. Bunny rushes in and cradles her son.)

Bunny:
Oh, sweet Jesus, Lord have mercy, my baby!

(Wipe fade to show young Uncle holding a teddy bear and admiring it)

Uncle:
(voice over) Just havin' fun was off limits in Mister's house.

(Mister comes in, noticing Uncle holding the teddy bear)

Mister:
(furious) Nigga, did I just catch you havin' fun?!

(Mister slaps Uncle violently all the way to the floor. Bunny rushes in and cradles her son.)

Bunny:
Oh, sweet Jesus, Lord have mercy, my baby!

(Wipe fade to show young Uncle reading a book about doctors)

Uncle:
(voice over) Every day, he reminded me of what a failure I was going to be.

Young Uncle:
(noticing his father come in) Mister, I wanna be a doctor when I grow up.

Mister:
(furious) Nigga, did I just catch you wantin' to be shit?!

(Mister slaps Uncle violently all the way to the floor. Bunny rushes in and cradles her son.)

Bunny:
Oh, sweet Jesus, Lord have mercy, my baby!

Uncle:
(voice over) My darling adopted negro mother, who I loved almost like she was white, did the best she could.

Bunny Ruckus:
Now, don't you listen to me, Uncle. You ain't no worthless nigga. Deep down, deep down in your heart, you always have to believe that you are special.

Uncle:
(voice over) She made sure I knew all my white history.

Young Uncle Ruckus:
Mama, who's George Washington Carver?

Bunny Ruckus:
He's the man responsible for more peanut allergy deaths than anyone who ever lived. Baby, why don't we read about Eli Whitney instead? He invented the cotton gin. He was a great white man. Just like you.
