Russell Simmons presents...
The Boondocks too hot for the Washington Post! This storyline was pulled from the paper and replaced with older strips. And this happened before, probably a year ago, when they pulled the strips involving Condeleeza Rice needing a man. Granted, this is not a black/white thing, because in fairness, back in the day, they pulled a B.C. where AIDS was referred to as "God's curse upon the Sodomites" and the Blondie where Dagwood and Blondie go to a swinger's key party. (Dagwood: "You know how much I love a good sandwich!")
The great thing is, the Post thought this was too hot to touch, but the one they ran instead on Monday featured a punchline involving Emmitt Till, a black teenager killed in the deep South in the '60s for whistling at a white woman. Well done.
