I got a rope right here

It's somewhat of a surprise to me, but there's a new television show that I find myself quite interested in. Boondocks, based on the comic strip by Aaron McGruder. I can't say I've read the comic strip that much, but I think I may start. I've not had much interaction with African-Americans in my life so far, so a lot of the issues facing them (as a group or individually) are foreign to me. But the show (and, I'm sure, the strip) tackles issues head-on without any degree of beating around the bush. The problem is, it's often hard to see exactly what position Boondocks takes on certain issues. I mean, sometimes it's obvious, through the absurdity of some characters' statements, which points of view McGruder is making fun of. But overall the show, it seems to me, has a certain level of ambiguity. Which, oddly, is what draws me to it.
I'm at a point in my life where many of the answers I've trusted in for so long no longer fully fit. It seems now that re-defining issues, asking the important questions, and having a healthy level of skepticism (for both sides, sometimes), provides more depth and meaning than taking a quick, dogmatic answer that works, or fits in with the way I want things to be. Maybe I'm missing what McGruder is trying to achieve, but I see this somewhat mirrored in Boondocks. The show makes me laugh, makes me think, and makes me uncomfortable. I couldn't ask for too much more.
