To answer the coma question, the longest a person has been in a coma and eventually recovered is 37 years. Terry Wallis was in a coma for nearly 20 years after being injured in a car accident in 1984, and he regained consciousness in 2003. However, he remained in a minimally conscious state for several more years before recovering further and being able to communicate and interact with his family.
I loved King’s pop-off moment in the end. After everything he saw, he basically said “Y’all dumb, y’all ignorant, and you on your own now. I’m Canadian now!” One of the best. ❤
What many people don't realize, even the OG Boondocks watchers; is that this episode was just one of Huey's prophetic dreams. Dating back to the first episode his first lines were something like "I am not a prophet, but I often have prophetic dreams.." Hence why Huey was the only main character narrating throughout this episode.
The sad thing is that Guinness have a record for the longest coma; it was 42 years and she died in 2012. The longest coma where the person woke up was 29 years.
8:04 I think this part in the episode is trying to highlight how Rosa Parks is always credited as the FIRST African American to not give up her seat, when in actuality, she was not the first.. A woman named Claudette Colvin, was 15 at the time, did the same thing but wasn’t given the same recognition. I saw another interview from the 90s with this older black gentleman who said when he was kid, him and his mom were thrown off the bus down south when she refused to leave her seat. Long story short, many black people did what Rosa Parks did during Jim Crow..
I don't remember if it was her or another woman who was pregnant at the time too but they didn't want her to be highlighted because she got pregnant out of wedlock which was would have negatively impacted the bus boycotts. It's been a while so memory is not as sharp when it comes to this bit of information
Edwarda O'Bara's 42-year diabetic coma, which began in 1970 after she contracted pneumonia in 1969, is considered the longest coma in history according to Guinness World Records. Other people who have been in long comas include: Elaine Esposito Died in 1978 at the age of 43 years and 357 days after being in a coma for 37 years and 111 days. Munira Abdulla Waked up in 2019 after being in a coma for 27 years following a brain injury in a car crash in 1991. Abdulla was treated in hospitals in the U.A.E., U.K., and Germany and underwent months of therapy before regaining consciousness. Jacob Creasman Waked up after an 8-year coma following a brain aneurysm. Creasman regained consciousness but struggled to speak. Comas can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks, but longer comas often lead to brain death or a persistent vegetative state.
I like this episode alot because its a what if scenario where Dr King actually survived from the assassination. If he was alive today no doubt he wouldn't like alot of things tbh
I don't think Granddad would've protested like Rosa Parks don't you remember him "coincidentally" leaving to get his raincoat when the other protested were drenched by fire hoses and attacked by dogs. Grandad is alllllll talk 😂😂
Well this whole episode was a Huey Freeman dream. And grandad being with Rosa parks that day is probably just some bullshit grandad told the boys before and they just have to take his word for it.
“Turn the other cheek” was taught in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, but it is limited only to insults. It has nothing to do with violence. In the culture, a slap on the cheek was an insult.
Your question about why Robert didn't get Credit while Rosa did is actually pretty relevant to real history. Rosa's protest was staged, like they say, but it was modeled after a real moment. Claudette Colvin courageously refused to give up her seat when confronted and was arrested. The leaders of the Civil Rights movement did not make big deal out of it because she was a 15 year old, unwed teenage mother. It was bad PR. So they had Rosa recreate it since she would be a better face for the movement.
Here's what google says: AI Overview According to Guinness World Records, Elaine Esposito holds the record for the longest coma in history, lasting 37 years and 111 days. Esposito was 6 years old when she went into a coma after receiving general anesthesia during a routine appendectomy on August 6, 1941, and died in 1978. She was known as the "sleeping beauty". Other people who have spent years in comas include: Edwarda O'Bara: An American woman who fell into a diabetic coma in 1970 at the age of 16 after contracting pneumonia. She remained in a coma for 42 years before passing away in 2012. Munira Abdulla: A woman from the United Arab Emirates who was in a coma for 27 years after a car accident in 1991 left her with a severe brain injury. She woke up in 2019.
Sean Diddy/ Puffy/Puff Daddy Combs personal issues have nothing to do with his accomplishments. Notorious Big-Lil Kim-Mase-Shyne. The Lox Craig Mack, The Hitmen, Million Dollar Video budgets. Hip Hop Fashion, over seeing clothing styles of JODECI, TOTAL,etc. the women and his sex scandal Had nothing to do with his artist or music.
I hate the way he talked in this too lol. Factually he only spoke like that for speeches. If you listen to interviews with him he spoke nothing like he did while speaking publicly.
What a coincidence that the same political party that terminated him is pushing the opposite message. All they care about is what skin color you have or sexuality you are.

Ive watched the boondocks like 3 or 4 times and I never realized it was a dream until I read this comment
Yea I kinda figured when ophra became president and Huey goes. "Hey I can dream".
i dunno how prophetic you can be about a guy who died already
but yes i know he was talking about his last point through junior
Last words of the episode Huey says "it's nice to dream"@@evanmock211

@@theprotagonist1311yes, same woman. You’re thinking of Claudette Colvin..
MLKs rant at the end still is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life
@DangI7Bobby it’s so powerful and realistic as a breaking point all i can do is laugh on my end

Bingo. People get that wrong all the time
Yep. David didn't "turn the other cheek". He took Goliath down.
"I was happy at the back of the bus."
One of the few times Ruckus acknowledged he's black.
This episode was the one that clued me in, even as a kid, to how brilliant the show’s writing was
Bro thank you i like how donell rowlands thought chappelle show was better but tbh chappelle show to me seemed like the same shi over and over
I think the longest time someone spent in a coma and survived was about 27 years.
37 years
RIP Martin Luther King

It’s boondocks they have their moments of pushing the envelope
I'm pumped. I've been waiting for this episode since the beginning.
Characters like Huey, Robert Freeman, AND Martin Luther King Jr. are the voices of show creator Aaron McGruder’s opinions.
Now u gotta do
*THE RETURN OF GANGSTALICIUS*
🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see you haven't given up on Boondocks!
I would watch the show with the Boondocks kids as adults with their own families

Kevin Micheal Richardson voiced Dr. King
One of the greatest voice actors. Loved him as Panthro in the 2011 Thundercats.
Do Solar Opposite again.
This is a top tier episode. Easily in the top 10.
I truly love this episode
I know this is a prophetic dream Huey had, but sometimes I like to pretend this actually happened in The Boondocks Universe.
Apparently the longest coma was 37 years
Quit talking about ipods like they aincient I ain't that old 😢
lmaooo
Great episode!!

As a kid this wasn’t one of my favorites now in an adult lenses I wish I appreciated it more as a kid
For the Algorithm Baby! >XD
Watch out yall this gon be the last one he do fr
I used to buy old ipods from frinds of friends for dirt. Videos and nanos for 20 bucks. I flipped them.
Damn that was a steal
@@DisfunktionalTV 20 bucks went further 15 years ago
Sean Diddy/ Puffy/Puff Daddy Combs personal issues have nothing to do with his accomplishments. Notorious Big-Lil Kim-Mase-Shyne. The Lox Craig Mack, The Hitmen, Million Dollar Video budgets. Hip Hop Fashion, over seeing clothing styles of JODECI, TOTAL,etc. the women and his sex scandal
Had nothing to do with his artist or music.

He was Reverend. Pastors usually talk like that when giving Sermons
This dude is so freaking smooth brained. Completely missed the point of the episode. Of course his ignorant self would side with Riley
He didn't side with him he just agreed
What a coincidence that the same political party that terminated him is pushing the opposite message. All they care about is what skin color you have or sexuality you are.
Facts
