Los Vendidos and The Boondocks

When I think further about the play "Los Vendidos" I started to be reminded of aspects in the tv cartoon "The Boondocks." Both deal with somewhat taboo racial issues and use humor to get their point across. Suprisingly to many I am an avid fan of "The Boondocks" even though I do not agree with their usage of the "n word." My favorite aspect of the show is one of the characters Huey because he is the "revolutionary" of the show and has very strong op9nions about African-American people and where the race is versus where the race could and should be. Along with his perspectives viewers are also given Huey's younger brother Riley who plays the rolse of more of the typical "Black kid" who swears and has a bad attitude and so forth. I like that the show gives sterotypes within the black culture they also assess these sterotypes and their lack of validity. It is very possible that plays like "Los Vendidos" set the pavement for shows like "The Boondocks."
