The Boondocks

Towards the end

of the 2008 campaign,

the Republican party, terrified at their own

sinking poll numbers, attempted to link Barack Obama

to radical leftist figures to make him appear un-American.

First was the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

I say motherfuck America, motherfuck America's mother,

motherfuck America's daddy!

America can eat a dick!

America can lick the balls!

When that failed, Republicans tried linking Obama

with 10-year-old domestic terrorist Huey Freeman

after discovering the two were MySpace friends.

Did they leave each other glitter comments?

The public has a right to know.

Okay, this is a little boy who thinks that Jesus is black,

Ronald Reagan is the devil

and the government is lying about 9/11.

Kids like this need to be on America's shit list,

not our friend list.

Obama did his best to downplay the relationship.

Look, I have many, many friends on MySpace.

I-- I pretty much add anybody.

I don't know who this Huey Freeman is,

but he doesn't stand for what I stand for

and I denounce, I repudiate, and condemn him.

Basically fuck him.

I tracked down the notoriously

reclusive Huey Freeman here,

where he lives with his Grandfather and brother.

The first thing I notice about Huey

is his incredibly large hair.

The second thing I notice is his permanent scowl.

How does it feel to be labeled a domestic terrorist?

Eh, I'm retired.

So then, now that it looks like Obama is going to win,

as a black African American negro,

are you merely excited or are you extremely excited

that everything is going to change forever?

Eh.

I felt my sphincter clinch

and my scrotum contract in shock

at his response.

I swear that boy just likes to be miserable.

He can't enjoy nothing.

All he wanna talk about is the Bilderberg Group,

the Federal Reserve and all that bullshit.

I don't know where he get that from.

He didn't get it from me. I believe in hope and change.

Nobody knows exactly how old

Robert Freeman is.

Not even Robert Freeman himself.

But his age is estimated

somewhere between 80 and 120 years old.

This is what me and my generation,

but mostly me, struggled for. Sacrificed for, you can say,

personally individually paved the way for.

The dogs were after us, so I took off my belt

and started whipping on the dogs.

Then I started running. Then I looked behind me.

Jesse Jackson was supposed to be there,

but he had jumped into a Dumpster. Hiding.

That punk-ass. I find it difficult

to determine whether Robert is a pathological liar

or suffering the early stages of dementia.

So if the election is fake, then what's really going on?

The end of America.

I felt despair so terrible

I briefly consider slitting my own wrists,

or bludgeoning myself about the head

with a steel pipe or baseball bat.

But I brought no blade, no pipe, no bat.

Describe Riley Freeman in one word.

Mm, I'd say real nigga.

"Real nigga" is two words.

I know it's two words, nigga.

Real niggas don't follow instructions.

This is Robert Freeman's

other grandson, Riley.

He's empowered by the prospect of a black president,

but not in the way society would hope or expect.

Oh, if my nigga Obama gets up in there,

I'm gonna act a fool!

I ain't doing no more homework, nothing.

We taking over.

Come on, what's a cop gonna do to me?

I'm gonna be like, "Don't make me call the president, bitch."

And the cops, he gonna be like, "Oh, snap, Riley a real nigga,

the president's a real nigga, we can't do nothing."

I can't wait.

In my driveway

I got planes

This is Otis Jenkins.

But in the United States, he's better known

by his rap moniker Thugnificent.

A combination of the words "thug" and "magnificent."

Otis has found success

like many Negro-American entertainers today

by being a professional buffoon.

Are you supporting Barack Obama?

For what? For president.

President of what?

You don't know there's a black man

running for president named Barack Obama?

His name is Barack? For real?

Barack Obama, yes.

Get the fuck out of here. Barack?

Yes, Barack. Where's he from, Africa?

His dad was African, yes.

You can't be serious, man.

There ain't no nigga running for president named Barack Obama!

No fucking way, man. No fucking way.

I don't believe you. Stop fucking with me.

If he wins, I think it will literally be

the best day of my life.

Tom and Sarah Dubois

are also neighbors of the Freemans.

They both work on the Obama campaign.

Barack has already changed our lives in so many ways.

How?

Well, I mean, it's no secret

that me and Tom have had some problems in the past

with our relationship.

Well, it's not like the whole world knew.

But I think ever since

we started working together for Barack...

Things are totally different now.

Much better. And it's all thanks to Barack.

He is such a wonderful, wonderful man.

I just think it's about time we had a president

who was smart and tall and charming and strong and fit.

Just like your hubby?

This isn't about you, sweetie.

It is always obvious

when a couple hasn't engaged

in normal marital relations for some time.

Obama, of course, is as polarizing

as he is transformative.

Some have accused Obama of being a socialist.

Others believe that he's a Muslim.

Some have gone as far as to label him the Antichrist.

He is the socialist Muslim Antichrist.

This is Uncle Ruckus.

He's an Uncle Tom.

Perhaps the biggest Uncle Tom to have ever lived.

If this nigga gets elected, America is over. Over.

You want this nigga to shit

in the same place William Taft shat?

And his big wife, she don't need to be in the White House.

She should be in the WNBA shooting foul shots.

Ah. You want my brick, you gonna have to pry it

from my cold dead hands, Mr. Obama Hussein.

Nigga down!

What is wrong with letting

people be happy?

Can too much hope possibly be a bad thing?

Hope is irrational.

In Bavaria, we have a saying:

It means, "This is the most depressing fucking kid

I've ever met in my life."

I sit down once again with Thugnificent,

who appears to have undergone a political awakening

since our last conversation.

So you know who Obama is now?

Oh, no, I knew who the nigga was.

I was just joking. You were not joking.

You jumped on the Obama celebrity bandwagon

because it will give you much needed exposure.

No, see. It ain't even got nothing to do with that.

You know what I'm saying?

I started looking into his political positions and his--

And his policies and views and whatnot.

What policies? I heard the nigga speak,

and he was talking about changing some shit

or hoping for some shit, and I thought: "Yeah."

I mean, all the nigga's asking for is hope.

You can sit on your ass all day and hope.

If you too lazy to hope you a lazy motherfucker,

that's all I know.

I'm voting for Obama

because he's gonna lower my taxes.

Actually, he has promised

to raise taxes at your income level.

Huh?

And he's just really, really fit...

to lead. And also body fit too.

Well, I also support Obama

because he's against corporate bailouts.

That is also not true. Huh?

I'm supporting Obama because he black.

And he's gonna get the troops out of Afghanistan, right?

Also wrong.

Then what the fuck that nigga gonna do?

We all need to, you know, do some shit sometimes.

You know what I'm saying? Some shit needs to get done.

And until we do that shit, shit ain't gonna change.

So I thought to myself, "Let's do this shit."

And that's when will.i.am called me

about doing this damn song.
