Boondocks gay episode

What Follows in the article

Effectively, "The New Black" represents the very last episode of The Boondocks that was ever broadcasted.

Riley, due to his employment of homophobic slurs, brings about the indignation of LGBT rights advocates, thereby dragging his family into considerable difficulty. Robert's endeavors for making a correction to this predicament only cause further aggravation as they bring about the resentment of advocates concerning those with mental challenges!


Common Tropes

  • Obvious Untruths: With some anger present, Riley declares that he wasn't being a bully to the homosexual student doing the act of twerking right on the cafeteria table. His precise words spoken? "Nigga, discontinue! That has gay undertones!"
  • Harassing a Dragon: The acts of both Riley and Robert related to irritating Slowlove due to offending those people who are mentally disabled.
  • Referencing Previous Events: Huey is providing a reminder to Riley concerning all occasions where he utilized "gay" like an insult, irrespective of whether something or someone is actually of a gay nature.
  • Hounded Off into the Sunset: Riley at the conclusive point, being pursued by those who have a mental disability.
  • Dope Slap: Huey winds up doling out this act to Riley, with the purpose being to stop him from articulating the word reta-smack
  • Equal-Opportunity Offender: Even though the presented episode certainly pokes fun at Riley due to his homophobia-related issues, there exists a generous number of jokes which come at the detriment of the LGBT community; this community is represented by "Yes Homo". Both "Yes Homo" coupled with "S.A.A.A.D." (also known as the mentally challenged organisation) get presented in the form of being corrupted and only seek out opportunities to take advantage of Riley's controversy.
  • Even The Evil Ones Possess Standards: Despite Uncle Ruckus having frequently expressed his unfavorable assessment pertaining to black individuals, and, to some extent, Hispanic and Asian demographics, he identifies the limit as being the act of disrespecting special needs youth.
  • From Difficult to More Difficult: Considering Riley makes those who are a part of the LGBT community feel provoked, Robert labeling Riley like a "special" individual proceeds to only bring about the anger directed from the mentally challenged, consequently doubling the headcount of those who are experiencing feelings of anger in relation to the Freemans.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Riley perpetrated the mistake associated with offensively showing arrogance to the mentally challenged track runners, who subsequently proceeded to repeatedly stomp on him prior to pursuing him to inflict elevated levels of bodily injury.
  • Dependence Upon The Fourth Wall: Goodlove makes mention of the manner in which the expression of "nigga" has, as of late, come to be permissible for use on TV, but other expletives, such as "fag," get subjected to being censored. He puts on a demonstration of this through the act of alternating these expressions, complete with implementing bleeping sound effects with respect to the latter instance. Riley remarks, "Thank God this exists uncensored on DVDs." Both expressions are, as a matter of fact, uncensored when on DVD.
  • Never Is It My Responsibility: Riley is not attempting in any manner to make amends for his reprehensible behavior. The facts are, he lashes in an aggressive way and is having a meltdown pertaining to all of the unfavorable paparazzi enclosing him. He could have circumvented many of the issues encountered had he just provided an apology, but Riley was required to assume the characteristics of a conceited, haughty imbecile.
  • No Ending: There exists absolutely no resolution that is ever arrived at regarding Riley's tribulations, with the conclusion being that of him getting chased by the mentally disabled during the race. This is exceptionally relevant when one takes into account that it is indeed the final episode of this show.
  • Heroic Figure Who's Also Unkind: Riley is found to be consistently accumulating multitudes of loathing directed at himself because of his unsavory vocabulary that relates to both the LGBT community, and subsequently also the mentally disabled demographic.
  • Yo-Yo Plot Point: During season two, specifically the episode known as "The S-Word," there existed a white teacher who encountered difficulty on account of calling Riley "nigga." In the episode that we're currently analyzing, Riley has troubles originating from his act of labeling a kid's dancing routine as "gay".
