The Boondocks was a daily syndicated comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder that ran from 1996 to 2006. Created by McGruder in 1996 for Hitlist.com, an early online music website, it was printed in the monthly hip hop magazine The Source in 1997. As it gained popularity, the comic strip was picked up by the Universal Press Syndicate and made its national debut on April 19, 1999. A popular and controversial strip, The Boondocks satirizes African-American culture and American politics as seen through the eyes of young African American radical Huey Freeman. McGruder's syndicate said it was among the biggest launches the company ever had.

I believe it's "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus", where Huey wants to free Shabazz from death row.

One of the best episodes of the series IMO.

YES! Thank you! That was bugging me. I've corrected the post.

Looks like I have the community blocked, and likely the op of that post. Had to view the train wreck logged out. Still not sure what exactly I read, nor that it proves sam is a misogynist.

You probably have him blocked because the OP of that post is the blatant misogynist sam is so eager to defend lol.

The argument for what makes sam a misogynist is that they blindly defended a misogynist, reveled in camaraderie with that same misogynist in the comments, and then refused to acknowledge evidence of that same misogynist's heinous misogyny and rape glorification.

It's the nazi bar argument, to a degree.

Not who you replied to but check their (sam@piefed.ca) comment history and you can see a long spat with other users on another post which is where this seems to come from. I’ll let you form your own conclusions.

Yeah the OP of that post is someone who frequently refers to women as females. Someone commented to point out that the post was subtly misogynistic, was asked how, and then explained that the OP posts a large volume of posts that always depict women in a negative light (which is probably why you have them blocked already).

Sam then replied along the lines of “lol, lmao even” and this started a back and forth between them. At one point the other commenter provides a link where the OP was making a crude joke about a fictional rape victim and Sam ignores this proof. Screen shot is the start of the exchange.

Maybe not definitive but as I said, not a good look.
