The Travails of the Astounding!

A Boondocks episode entitled 'The Return of the King', aired recently on Adult Swim. In it, Martin Luther King who had not died by the assasins bullet but instead fell into a 40 year coma and miraculously awakens to find America as it was right at the turn of the milenium. In need of leadership, and sanity. And so Mr. King having been a man of sensible response to ingrained cultural inequity, eventually waxes pacifistic once too many and his patriotism is called into question. Of course FOX News was all over it and so Dr. King makes a big speech. In this speech he condems Black Pop culture for being self destructive and narrow minded, uses some acerbic language and shocks in the process. Of course there was political fallout.
