The '80s cartoon was surprisingly far more sophisticated, though understated, in its handling of diversity. They had "black" characters who had personalities, as opposed to just being elaborations on a stereotyped racial identity. Yeah, it was just for the movie.

Did they just make it up for the movie? Seems like an odd choice after a similar contoversy surrounded The Phantom Menace (with Jar Jar sounding like the maid from Gone with the Wind and the asian sounding fishy aliens).

It's times like these where I so wish the Boondocks still had their daily comic strip. Aaron McGruder would have an absolute field day with this movie. These guys make Jazz from the last movie seem like Chuck D. And yes, I am ashamed for seeing the movie. But when Peter Travers from Rolling Stone says you're watching the worst movie of the decade...well - that's just too tempting of an offer to pass up. I’m…uh..wow.
