Uncle Ruckus (also known as Rev. Uncle Ruckus, Rev. Fr. Uncle Ruckus, and Uncle Ruckus, no relation) is the main antagonist from the comic strip ''The Boondocks'' and the television series based on the comic. An old angry man who claims to have had a disease that started when he was a baby turning his skin color from white to black, he disassociates himself from other African Americans as much as possible as a result of this excuse, and is outspoken in his support of what Huey calls the "white supremacist power structure." He is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams. ==Personality== Uncle Ruckus is repellent in appearance, behavior, and attitude. He has an intense hatred of anything pertaining to African Americans, and goes out of his way to distance himself from blacks. Ruckus claims God says the path to forgiveness for being black is to rebuke your own race. He has a glass eye from the beatings he received by his father, though his eyes are portrayed as always having been mismatched. Ruckus champions the small traces of French, Native American or Irish ancestry he claims to have (though a first DNA test showed he was "102% African" with a 2% margin of error -- later in that episode, due to BET's deliberate tampering with the results, it states that he is 50.07% white/Caucasian to cheer him up), and wishes that all black people were still enslaved or never existed at all. He prattles white supremacist rhetoric and calls Michael Jackson (who suffered from the pigmentational skin changing disorder vitiligo) a "lucky bastard", as he no longer was black. Ruckus claims that he himself has "re"-vitiligo, to explain his own skin tone. According to a flashback scene, he, in his late teens protested against Martin Luther King's marches during the Civil Rights Movement and would occasionally throw bricks at King, but usually missed. Another flashback scene shows Ruckus serving on a jury in 1957 (making him a minimum of 70 circa 2009 although this flashback does not match with the show's continuity) in Tennessee that helped convict a blind black man of killing three white girls. In spite of being blind, the African American man supposedly shot the three with a Winchester rifle from about 50 yards away. (Ruckus is the only black person on the otherwise all white jury, in what is a Jim Crow courtroom.) During his first encounter with the Freeman family, Ruckus sings "Don't Trust Them New Niggas Over There," in the pilot episode, though he socializes freely with the Freemans thereafter. Although he had a terrible father, the main cause for his personality and view of the world is due to his mother's rather poor upbringing. Though his mother loved him most of all, she is an extremely deluded and damaged woman who despite a lifetime of abuse and poor decisions is convinced that her whole life would have been better if she had just been born white. Ruckus believes firmly in racist assaults, hurling invectives of prejudice and hatred to all things black. On being asked if he supported the use of the word "nigga," Ruckus says: :"No I don't think we should use the word, and I'll tell ya why. Because niggas have gotten used to it, that's why. Hell, they like it now. It's like when you growin' crops and you strip the soil of its nutrients and goodness and then you can't grow nothin'. You gotta rotate your racist slurs. Now I know it's hard 'cause 'nigga' just rolls off the tongue the way sweat rolls off a nigga's forehead, but we can not let that be a crutch. Especially when there are so many fine substitutes: spade, porch monkey, jiggaboo. I say the next time you gonna call a darkie a nigga, you call that coon a ''jungle bunny'' instead." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uncle Ruckus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
