Uncle Ruckus is a fictional self-hating African American racist from the comic strip and animated televisions series, The Boondocks. An overweight, homely man, he enjoys dissociating himself from other African Americans as much as possible, and is outspoken in his support of what Huey calls the "white supremacist power structure." He is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams. In the show, the character seems to speak with an American Southern accent.

[edit] Personality

Because of his intense hatred of everyone and everything pertaining to black people, Ruckus often goes far out of his way to free himself from his identity. He champions the small traces of Native American, French, or Irish ancestry he claims to have, and wishes that all black people were still enslaved. He prattles white supremacist rhetoric and calls Michael Jackson (an alleged vitiligo sufferer) a "lucky bastard" (interestingly, he claims to have "re"-vitiligo). During their first encounter, he sings "Don't Trust Them New Niggers Over There" to the Freemans at a garden party, though he seems to socialize freely with them thereafter. In fact, Robert Freeman is probably the only person on the show who could be considered a friend to Uncle Ruckus.

Uncle Ruckus's name is a reference to Uncle Remus, and he is ironic in that he is the darkest character on the show.
