    • Quotes

      Huey Freeman: [at a party full of white people] Excuse me. Everyone, I have a brief announcement to make. Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11. Thank you for your time and good night.

      [the white people riot]

      Rich Woman: It can't be true!

      [Granddad smacks Huey on the head; he was dreaming]

      Huey Freeman: Ow!

      Robert 'Granddad' Freeman: Mm-hmm. You were havin' that dream where you made the white people riot again, weren't you?

      Huey Freeman: But I was tellin' the truth!

      Robert 'Granddad' Freeman: How many times have I told you you bet' not even dream of tellin' white folk the truth? You understand me? Shoot... makin' white people riot. You better learn how to lie like me. I'm gonna find me a white man and lie to him right now.

    A Booning start

    This review was written on January 1st 2023.

    The episode at the forefront of a fabulous, iconic and classic series.

    This episode was about... mhmm.... it was about The Freeman's settling into a new community at a rich guy's party filled with White people.

    Fine, there are 3 mini subplots going on.

    Huey is breaking bread with the 2 spoiled guys. They nagged him to shoot one of them out of a window with a shotty.

    Riley has a dream about white people, and he attends the party speaking truth and all the white people behave ignorant and deaf.

    The OG Robert Freeman is trying to kiss up and fit in with Ed. W by just standing and listening to his boring dialogue.

    Lastly, and bonus, Uncle Ruckus debuts as a servant to Ed. W and sings a very nice song called Watch those beep over there"

    Laugh rating: A good 9.

    Overall it was a fine, simple episode.
