[bestmatcher]

[themagicmajid]

@bestmatcher yes

[AZAZEL899]

Is what he said true

[themagicmajid]

@AZAZEL899 yes 

[Silver77cyn]

So true......

[true4013]

once you learn the truth it's time to stop doing what is wrong.Most people celebrate holidays because they where brought up with them and don't know the true origins.christmas,new years,halloween,easter,valenti­nes day,and birthdays all come from pagan deity worship.



[candygirl1356]

wat the US congress do?!?!?!

[360Nomad]

@candygirl1356 They met on Christmas day until the 1840s.

[JohnnyOutlaw100]

But it was boorrrriiiiiing Huuuuuueey!

[Swevikingproduction]

I wish they had this in my country

[TheTedwms83]

it make u wounder what else they were liying about in the bible or the church or who ever mmmmm

[linden87]

@TheTedwms83 the bible didnt lie. nowhere in the bible does it say that jesus was born in winter nor did it even say to celebrate the birth of jesus in the way that it is today....

[qweenviola]

NOW AM DICK RIDIN OBAMA OBAMA..

[Fade2blak101]

People will watch this and say "Yeah thats true" yet still celebrate that holiday and will bankrupt themselves for the rest of the year by spending money they dont have for presents. "Whats the point of talking if nobody learns" - Huey Freeman

[MzSiddiqui]

suckers for tradition!

[MzSiddiqui]

Baaawaahahahaahaa!!! 

[Ratama]

happy saturnalia everybody

[ATHFCMFFT123]

@Ratama io saturnalia is what the romans would say. we did some of this shit in my latin class the other day.

[R1D2S3]

NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THIS!.....WHY?

[AbsurdNerd92]

@R1D2S3 Because the truth hurts... A sad reality, but a reality none the less.

[R1D2S3]

@AbsurdNerd92 Yes I know that's true!

[thekow]

Blah blah gay sex blah blah Congress.

[delicflower]

@thekow I wonder what he said about Congress....

[jmasterEl]

@masterman3178 a huey freeman christmas

[masterman3178]

im trying to find the line were he says christmas or magic only exists in the lies parents tell there children. Can any one remember how that went or what episode its from.

[Stryker7828]

@masterman3178 that's nearing the end of the episode

[SandraKittyKat]

@masterman3178 - It's Boondocks - Season 01, episode 07 - A Huey Freeman Christmas, and it's "But Christmas miracles only happen in the lies adults tell to children, and maybe in Christmas specials." You can download it pretty easily, from ice films : )

[masterman3178]

@SandraKittyKat thank you and yes i found it i got season one on DVD today for christmas

[briabria37]

That's many black churches in a nutshell. Church ain't good if it's not entertaining smh

[Sewell1985a]

That is true

[Llarmas]

Freakin love this! I so wanted to shout this at my RE teacher today. But i just sat next to someone and talked to them about it!

[IoEstasCedonta]

So the shepherds would just slaughter all the sheep and then go buy more in the spring? What are they, marigolds?

Not to mention that the mean January temperature in Bethlehem is 11° C... this might just be the New Englander talking, but that's not too cold to tend sheep.

[kevinbaconfan12]

he sounds like an adult from peanuts at 1:13

[Jahra2K6]

@kevinbaconfan12 Hell yeah! This episode had a lot of "Charlie Brown Christmas" references in it too.

[yayme22100]

Lol Huey look like Princeton from mindless behavior

[nynyleg]

@yayme22100 or princeton looks like him c;

[yayme22100]

Quao quao quao quao lol Riley look lik Princeton from mindless behavior :D

[95blckfirebird1]

Well said brother

[l1s1d4]

They picked december 25th to eat a persian seasonal event

[mcflmjig]

Wrong. Xmas has been around way before the Romans. It started with Tammuz and Semiramis... Way before Romans.

[capsule56]

@mcflmjig

Actually, you're referring to the origin of Easter.

[mcflmjig]

@capsule56 Both have been around for a long time. Xmas originated from Babylon even before the rise of the Egyptian empire. Egypt actually copied all their pagan practices from Babylon.

[GozzyWozzy]

Listen to Ras Kass's Nature of the Threat. Ras talks about the true Christmas in the song too.

[jacoblgames]

Wasn't Christmas started by Rome's first Christian emperor Constantine The Great?

[Caduceuz]

@jacoblgames yeah and seeing that saturnalia was already a major pagan holiday they just switched the reasons for celebration instead of moving it to Jesus' real birthday

[jacoblgames]

@Caduceuz That's not exact.

[elysium735]

As a matter of fact the US Congress...

What? Why didn't he finish the sentence?!?! I want to learn!!!!!!

[FutureDJHero]

He's right Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, they just randomly picked that date but I'm not sure about the romans though

[Redgy671]

OMG is there one where it dosent bla bla it? id love to really hear that

[Duenas411]

I thought congress and gay sex go hand in hand!

[spsnova]

So why is it that congress or public education never explains this to the public ?

[jardy90]

what does he wants to say about us congress?

[OneWingAngel1000]

The Romans really knew how to party....

Too bad they forsook their gods and were punished with the destruction of their empire...

[CGN888]

Scooby Doo toy is on the background! P.S.: I'm with you,Huey

[95blckfirebird1]

Well said, but I'm also glad he pointed out it was Palestine at the time and should have always been Palestine to today.

[awefilledcreep]

sad thing is people know this yet they still celebrate it as a holy holiday. same with easter.

[rockking05]

Man Christimas back in the Roman days and the Medival times must have fucking rock.Better than today version of Christimas.I wish Chrisimas today could be like that again.

[KollectinKash]

@rockking05 pause

[Mabsss33]

Blah Bla gay sex blah blah congress! Lool

[knoxvilleguy2]

@Mabsss33 - Huey is an intellectual kid, smart as hell but 98 % of the time he has all the facial expression of a piece of stone. He's 1 intense dude !!

[pajamagirl123]

i wish i could have heard what he was saying during the charlie brown moment lol

[latequilera22]

Blah Blah gay sex blah blah congress. haha I often say that when those scandals occur.

[TSFboi]

This show got some fucking smarts. :3

[peanarchist]

@TSFboi

It's the best show on cable tv.

[PicklesTheKing]

I like how Huey said "Palestinian".

[frankystein12]

Grand-dad is a moron.

[Fellzification]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL the way Grandad blocks Huey's words at the end hahahahahahahaha. But it's true that Jesus was not born in Christmas Day because the shepherds were in the fields (Luke 2:8-12) . And the Palestine Winters are way tooooooooooo cold.

[holyking1100]

blah blah gay sex, blah blah congress.......SOUNDS LEGIT

[atra42o]

after reading everyones comments, im really impressed. i had no idea so many people felt the same as me. i always thought i was the oddball because i questioned my traditions. i actually stumbled on the truth BECAUSE i felt like there was something that didnt feel right about the catholic religion and now that i do know the truth, i understand y i felt that way. i see the truth leaking out a little more each day, usually in places u would never think of (ie family guy, boondocks, etc) lol

[atra42o]

haha LOVE this... it just goes to show u, if u do a little research, u will find the truth... people never question the reason they take part in traditions, they just do it because THEIR parents did... im so glad i questioned MY traditions, though, it gives a whole new meaning to "the truth will set u free" ; )

[Ivory101]

now that i think about it, huey seems like the type of guy that wouldn't believe in jesus...but i guess he does! i picture him as more of an atheist though...

[sylvur]

Horus, God of Egypt's birthday is December 25th too, and was highly celebrated by Egyptians BEFORE JESUS WAS EVEN BORN!!! Funny how the person that decided to create Christianity and turn Jesus into a son of God decided to use Horus' birthday.  I guess he thought Egyptians would just die off and no one would care 2000 years later....... if only he knew most humans were smart and would actually notice that something was up and that Christianity is all just a lie.

[townparkradio]

@sylvur What the hell are you talking about? Horus was, according to Egyptian Lore, born before time.

[andrewsaccount09]

"wa wa wa wa wa" sound FX=PERFECT right there to describe the boring old TRUTH.

[uberjim83]

I love it! Everybody knows that Huey is right, but they don't care because the lie is more fun. This is a perfect way of showing how people act around the holidays.

[lillemau89]

"Bla bla Gay sex bla bla congress" Probably the best quote ever

[Mrillymusic]

1:03 Lmaooooo

[Machelle3200]

just because something started out as meaning one thing, doesn't mean it has to end up that way..why can't some people just turn a negative into a positive....

[assi02]

@Machelle3200 you can say what you want, but we must worship God in spirit AND in truth (John 4:24). If you read the account of the Israelites and the golden calf, they were doing the same thing people are doing today... trying to take false worship and make it "positive" by putting God's name on it.... And if you see how He responds, you will know how He feels about this version of "turning a negative into a positive." We as humans try and justify things that we don't WANT to stop doing.

[tinoshokwire]

@assi02 ur reading a book of riddles and utter GAS mate.. religion is a wepon put in place to devide the nation ppl need to wake up..

[BlaCkPowerNow89]

@assi02 Well your wrong there not all the Israelites were worshiping the golden calf at that time only Moses' brother Aaron and a few were. The rest slaughtered them. And if your going to worship god in spirit and in truth you must follow all the commandments

[assi02]

@BlaCkPowerNow89 I never said ALL of the Israelites were worshipping the calf, but the whole point was that even if it was just some of them they still tried to put God's name on it . And Aaron was the one who made the calf, and he wasn't slaughtered. So I'm trying to understand where our difference of opinion lies to say that I'm wrong.... plus when you talk of obeying the commandments, which ones are you referring to? Ever researched the Law of Moses and Christ's fulfillment of it?

[YechezkaelMacavi]

The priests served at a certain time every year and once in a lifetime individually in Zachariahs case. Lk1:5-9 1chron24 Zachs his line was Abiyah so doing the math Yeshua was probably born at Sukkot and conceived durring Chanukah, this doesn't account for leap years etc so it's not a proven fact but When you thi-lah blah blah bla blah blah bla wbla blaw blah nbla...

[YechezkaelMacavi]

I love the cartoon and I never heard someone explain how I feel so well!

Unfortunately it's not cold in Israel right now. And this is a great time for shepherds to be in their fields with their flocks.

If you look at the time of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth, when liz was 6mos preg and the announcement to Zachariah while he was serving you can get an estimate.

[IamNightSky09]

that was the funniest thing ever, grand dad didn't understand him at all. all he heard was wha wha wha...lmof!

[SupaHypaMode]

whawha wha whawhawha whawha

[retrofusion456]

The Bible reports that shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks on the night of Jesus’ birth. In fact, Luke shows that at that time, shepherds were “living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks” near Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-12) Notice that the shepherds were actually living out of doors, not just strolling outside during the day. They had their flocks in the fields at night.

[luvodicus]

@KanWoo.. WTF does 2Cor 2:2 have to do with anything? And the Protestant "Church" did not ban Christmas, A Group of Protestants in MASS banned Christmas...

I thank you for getting behind support or knowledge, but at least look up what you're talking about, instead of quoting everyone else...

[pyrogyra72]

IT WAS BOOOORRRRRRINGGGG HEEEEUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEYYYYYY!

YOU JUST BLA BLAH GAY SEX, BLAH BLAH CONGRESS! You have got to be interesting.

[KanWoo76]

In short; The Boondocks, very crude at times but always iced with a strong moral message! Nuff said.

[KanWoo76]

@awesomenize1 there is no record of Mary, Joseph or any of the apostles throwing Jesus a birthday bash! His "chosen" and only mission was to die or be sacrificed for us. That's why at the last evening meal he said to do this (observe the former Passover now death memorial) in remembrance of me!

[KanWoo76]

If it was such a religious date why did it take so long in a re-established Puritan country for it to be governally accepted? Sucker puppets!

[KanWoo76]

The US Congress part that you don't hear talks about how not until 1870, Christmas wasn't a federal holiday and that Congress even met on December 25th. This explains why nineteenth-century readers found it credible that Scrooge could require Cratchit to come to work on Christmas Day!

[KanWoo76]

That's why I love brother Huey. Folks should take a tip that a 10 year old researched this "holiday" that's full of lies. Not Jesus' birthday and no such person as Santa! Unscramble Santa and you'll find out who he really is. This is a good example of 2Co 4:4!

[LuLusQueen]

blah, blah gay sex blah blah congress,lmao

[icemanmba]

Only dumb-ass fools celebrate Christmas and associate it with the birth of Christ! It is easy to get over on Americans because we are so retarded and believe everything we see or hear just because some white man told you! Christmas has NOTHING to do with Christ! Euro-trash and white Americans 'created' Christmas to capitalize on commercialization! It is a pagan holiday and you fools are too lazy to do your research! Just follow the white man to the slaughterhouse Bitches!!!!

[xTheRiddler45x]

@icemanmba Yeah and thanksgiving was celebrated by Indians and pilgrims, so i guess your wrong if you celebrate that...

[neosouljazz]

YOU FAGS DONT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS FOR CHRIST YOU ALL DO IT FOR PRESENTS AND FUN BECAUSE YOU SO CALLED CHRISTIANS ARE GREEDY BASTARDS. GIVE THANKS TO CHRIST EVERYDAY NOT JUST ONE DAY OF THE DAMN YEAR......GREEDY FUCKS

[CommonSense718x]

@neosouljazz Fuck Jesus.

[neosouljazz]

@CommonSense718x lol you want attention bad.

[CommonSense718x]

@neosouljazz nah I'm set.

[MyKCchiefs]

@neosouljazz HEY come on man why do we have to hate. Maybe your insulting people who honestly believe in the Christmas meaning. your like a new Kanye. And i doubt your a christian if your saying fag and calling an entire race greedy. If we're greedy then we would only take gifts but we don't we give them as well. I'm not gonna insult you because I am christian and you deserve respect but I disagree completely with your comment and I'm gonna point it out when I see it.

[jkinz1234]

i love you huey

[bestplaceproductions]

lmao at granddad cryin at the beginning

[Bla3kBrigade]

Believe or not, this is actually the most censored episode of the boondocks.

[RevJesseJackson]

@Bla3kBrigade With the exception of the banned episodes....(bet and tyler perry episodes)

[Bla3kBrigade]

@RevJesseJackson Nope, Heuy Freeman Christmas is in fact the most censored episode. Reason being, dialogue of Jesus was black, and origin of Christmas effects more people then one silly network.

[RevJesseJackson]

@Bla3kBrigade Those episodes were completely cut from public television. Thus technically making them the most censored.

[NubiansRuledTheWorld]

Hahahahaha, huey killed this one. Funny cause its all true

[Adultsswimer]

christmas is a pegan holiday and jesus probably hates you for celebrating it XD my favorate line

[KRITICALConscious]

@mayhem8808 hahahahaha hell yeah!

[KRITICALConscious]

All I am going to say is, "Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms & Shamanism in the Siberian area 40,000+ years ago is the oldest story of celebrating "Christmas" or the Winter Solstice." I encourage everyone to research it! Super fascinating!

[cjdixon1995]

LOL.....That scene had me rollin......"wawawawawaa".....­.Idk if that thing huey said about christmas is true, but it does make u think....

[007thday]

@cjdixon1995 Its all true and its basic history if you do a little research. You are caught in the religious MATRIX!

[BassBwoy3]

@cjdixon1995

It is actually true. Historically speaking, Christmas came from the holiday Saturnalia. It has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus. I'm a Christian and now I'd rather not celebrate Christmas. What does Jesus have to do with a lit up pine tree with an angel/star on the top? Absolutely nothing. Go Huey, speak the truth.

[tyden85]

@cjdixon1995 read your the bible, do your research. it's true. :)

[Gettinghitonattheban]

I know how Huey feels. I unless I have a funny, no one in my family or school ever listens to a thing I have to say.

[peanarchist]

@Gettinghitonattheban

lol, you've got to lure them over. It's not the 'what' but the 'how' which catches their attention.

[imaniprincess]

@Gettinghitonattheban i knw exactly how u feel

[PicklesTheKing]

@Gettinghitonattheban man.... so true.. got major disrespected today by stepmom and she rat on me like a bitch, i wasnt able to say the truth, and i didnt disrespect anyone.... Ignorance.

[moesamuri]

@Gettinghitonattheban I feel your pain dude.

[BarryBRemix]

What's the connection of the US Congress and Christmas..? *smh*

[christheman97]

lol

[mangohero7865]

Hueys a fricken ninja how is he not interesting??

[awesomenize1]

He is right that's but I don't celebrate it in the way the pagans In the bible it says behold all things are new. Meaning you can give it a new meaning. I personal celebrate gods gift to us. His son Jesus Christ even if he wasn't born on that date.

[peanarchist]

@awesomenize1

As long as individualism doesn't come at the price of individualism I'm all for it.

Whatever works best for you bro.

[RubzLeDreamz]

@awesomenize1 but its not about that the point is that its a paigon belif even if u have the right motive ur still celebrating on a day that god probably hates. if u wanna celebrate gods gift of jesus y not do it on a diffrent date y the day when paigons have there holiday

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

@awesomenize1

Yea but what does your bible say bout that? it says you ain't to take a pagan holiday and slap his face on it hun.

[blazer782]

@awesomenize1

i agree

[xtheman75]

thank the most High for this

[mayhem8808]

Idk if I'm the most high but I'm pretty high lol

[xtheman75]

????not funny

[peanarchist]

@xtheman75:

not funny to you.

[IGITnBLACK]

@xtheman75

well not really ether.

[KIXXLER]

Canlt Wait For Te 3rd Season !

[RevolutionaryJam]

i always loved thst show

[peanarchist]

i'm still waiting for a 3rd season :(

[RevolutionaryJam]

actually I only saw the first since it doesn't air in the uk and I picked it up in the states, although I have to say I often found that the characters were a lot better than some of the storylines

[Anon1696]

YAY FERTILITY!

[LeoMidori]

Haha, I love Huey. :D
