In honor of the upcoming R. Kelly trial we've decided to look at a Boondocks episode about the R. Kelly child pornography trial. We can't predict that there is going to be the same outcome. We think the episode is funny so we decided to share. Enjoy!
Another banned Boondocks episode featuring Uncle Rawkus has leaked online.
Hip Hop DX reported the story about the banned Boondocks Hunger strike episode.
The two episodes were originally scheduled to air on November 16 and December 17, respectively. No official reasons were given for the banning of the episodes from either Sony or Adult Swim as of yet.
Rumor has it the higher ups at BET have been pressuring Sony behind the scenes for months to yank the episodes, including threatening legal action. Now I’m pretty biased as a BET hater, but it’s sad the people in charge over there are more worried about being teased by a cartoon than producing good television. Not surprising, but still sad. source

The Banned Boondocks Episode - The Hunger Strike 2 of 2
Rapper/singer Cee-Lo guest stars as his recurring character Reverend Rollo Goodlove, while Donald Faison and Tavis Smiley also contribute their voices to the show. In a previous DX report, an anonymous source identified this as one of two episodes that were banned from airing because of higher-ups at BET threatening legal action against Sony, the company that produces the show [click to read]. Cartoon Network has since confirmed that the episodes were not scheduled to air, but denied that the network was contacted by BET, Lee or Hudlin. source
A banned Boondocks episode that satirizes BET has leaked online. The segment was not meant to ever see the light of day after Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder lampooned the network.
We suggest you watch the episode before it disappears. Here is HipHopDX explanation of the episode.
HipHopDX previously released a clip of the episode, which revolved around child character Huey Freeman going on a hunger strike until the television station BET was either taken off the air, or all of the executives committed Japanese style ritual suicide. Debra Lee and Reggie Hudlin, the CEO and president of the station, were notably parodied as "Dr. Leevil" and "Wedgie Hudlin," respectively. Leevil—complete with an outfit and dead hairless dog similar to the Austin Powers character Dr. Evil—says, “Our leader Bob Johnson had a dream of creating a network that would accomplish what hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow and malt liquor couldn’t: the destruction of black people.”
The episode has various swipes at BET, from comments about their reality shows to outrageous slogan suggestions like, "BET: You Niggas Have Nothing Better To Watch." The station has been a constant ragamuffin for accusations of programming that perpetuates black stereotypes. source
