Episode Notes
 
The announcer on the radio makes a reference to Al Sharpton's call for a boycott of The Boondocks after the episode "The Return of the King", in which the Martin Luther King Jr. character says "nigger" on many occasions. The Boondocks comic strips also make a reference to it.

Episode Quotes
 
Uncle Ruckus: Hey, you quit there with the white man's water, boy. And you, turn off that god damn jungle noise!
Huey: What?
Uncle Ruckus: You heard me-turn off that god damn BLACK AFRICAN CONGO JUNGLE NOISE!
 
Reporter: The officers mistook the suspect's orange wallet for a gun and shot at him 118 times and beat him.
 
Ed Wuncler: I admire entrepreneur in young people.
Huey: You mean like them twelve year old girls who work in your sweatshops in Indonesia?
Ed Wuncler: That's right. Every morning I wake up and put one foot on the ground and the other up the ass of an Indonesian girl, but if this country didn't have unions and child labor laws, maybe your generation would understand the value of hard work-like this little girl here.
 
Riley: That's all I got! Make it work!
Jazmine: Lemonade is a dollar.
Riley: I ain't got no dollar! That's all have!
Jazmine: Lemonade is a dollar!
Riley:This is how you repay me? After all I spent in this place? This is some bullsh*t!
 
Ed Wuncler: What is with the backwards 'E's?!
Jazmine: It's s-supposed to be cute.
Ed Wuncler: Cute?! Well, then you must think mental retardation is down-right adorable!
 
Huey: (to Riley, whose spraying the water out of a hydrent) Riley! White people have pools!
Riley: Nigga, what's with the coat?

Do The Right Thing

The set up at the beginning of the episode is set up like the 1989 Spike Lee film, Do The Right Thing, about a Brooklyn neighborhood on a hot summer day with an abundence of racial tension.
 
Jazmine: Huey Freeman, you are the only person I know who can take a nice day like today and turn it into a problem!

This is similar to a line Linus said in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
