Boondocks episode 9 return of the king
What Would King Do?
So I have a new addiction: The Boondocks
On episode 9, a hypothetical scenario is set up, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., dosen't actually die from the shooting at Loraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennesse, he just goes into a 40 year coma. When he awakes and takes notice of the state of African Americans he is set off and begins to rip black people a new one...I took it upon myself to transcribe...lol. (I told you I was addicted)
Good stuff-transcription of Dr. King's comin' out of a coma speech-
"Is this what I got all those ass whoopings for?
I had a dream once, it was a dream that little black boys and little black girls would drink from the river of prosperity, freed from the thirst of oppression. But low and behold some four decades later, what have I found but a bunch of triflin’, shiftless, good for nothing niggas. And I know some of you don’t want to hear me say that word, it’s the ugliest word in the English language--but that’s what I see now, niggas. And you don’t wanna be a nigga, ‘cause niggas are living contradictions; niggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions, niggas wax and wane, niggas love to complain, niggas love to hear them selves talk but hate to explain, niggas love being another man’s judge and jury, niggas procrastinate until it’s time to worry, niggas love to be late, niggas hate to hurry.
Black Entertainment Television, is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life!
Usher, Michael Jackson is not a genre of music!
And now I’d like to talk about Soul Plane...
I’ve seen what’s around the corner. I’ve seen what’s over the horizon, and I promise you, you niggas have nothing to celebrate. And no, I won’t get there with you--I’m going to Canada!"
