How Jazmine Almost Cancelled The Boondocks | Behind The Boondocks

►► How Jazmine Almost Cancelled The Boondocks.

With The Boondocks' finally getting syndicated, we should finally be leaving a world of controversy behind us, right? Yeah, not happening.

It's easy to forget that before Jazmine was seen as simply Huey's childhood friend, she was almost singehandedly responsible for getting the comic strip cancelled.

Jazmine sparked a furor of complaints and a longstanding conversation around multiracial identity with Huey's bluntness creating a sea of trouble and Aaron McGruder's intentions around creating the character. Let's get into it, and continue our deep dive into the world of The Boondocks comic strip.

New here?
I cover media and discussion topics from a black leftist lens framed around The Boondocks, black identity and a range of nerdy stuff I'm into. In my spare time, I supply food for a foodbank, infrequently attend an afro diaspora community garden and I'm developing a black indie video game called NIXIE.

If any of that sounds cool or interesting, keep in the loop. Or don't.
I probably don't care.
