FROM AARON MCGRUDER:
As the world now knows, The Boondocks will be returning for a fourth season, but I will not be returning with it. I’d like to extend my gratitude to Sony and Adult Swim for three great seasons.
I created The Boondocks two decades ago in college, did the daily comic for six years, and was showrunner on the animated series for the first three seasons. The Boondocks pretty much represents my life’s work to this point. Huey, Riley, and Granddad are not just property to me. They are my fictional blood relatives. Nothing is more painful than to leave them behind.
To quote a great white man, “Hollywood is a business”. And to quote another great white man, “Don’t hold grudges”.
What has never been lost on me is the enormous responsibility that came with The Boondocks - particularly the television show and it’s relatively young audience. It was important to offend, but equally important to offend for the right reasons. For three seasons I personally navigated this show through the minefields of controversy. It was not perfect. And it definitely was not quick. But it was always done with a keen sense of duty, history, culture, and love. Anything less would have been simply unacceptable.
As for me, I’m finally putting a life of controversy and troublemaking behind me with my upcoming Adult Swim show, BLACK JESUS.

This is the thing the series kind of jumped the shark in the last run. We shouldn't be surprised if the narrative quality takes a nosedive this season. Furthermore we as a people don't like someone taking a critical look at out culture the way McGruder did, but furthermore when you do take a satirical approach it's easy for the message to get corrupted. Ala Dave Chapelle.

WTF is he babblin about??? If the show was so damn personal to you. You could have kept the rights or sold some stock of the show but kept the majority of rights and licensing.
