Uncle Ruckus

Uncle Ruckus (also known as Rev. Uncle Ruckus, Rev. Fr. Uncle Ruckus, and Uncle Ruckus, no relation) is the main antagonist from the comic strip The Boondocks and the television series based on the comic.

An old angry man who claims to have had a disease that started when he was a baby turning his skin color from white to black, he disassociates himself from other African Americans as much as possible as a result of this excuse, and is outspoken in his support of what Huey calls the "white supremacist power structure." He is voiced by Gary Anthony Williams.

Personality

Uncle Ruckus is repellent in appearance, behavior, and attitude. He has an intense hatred of anything pertaining to African Americans, and goes out of his way to distance himself from blacks. Ruckus claims God says the path to forgiveness for being black is to rebuke your own race. He has a glass eye from the beatings he received by his father, though his eyes are portrayed as always having been mismatched.

Ruckus champions the small traces of French, Native American or Irish ancestry he claims to have (though a first DNA test showed he was "102% African" with a 2% margin of error -- later in that episode, due to BET's deliberate tampering with the results, it states that he is 50.07% white/Caucasian to cheer him up), and wishes that all black people were still enslaved or never existed at all.
