Pause – S03/E08 WelcomeEpisode synopsis HBOMax Synopsis: Granddad is cast as the leading man by mega-superstar of stage and screen, Winston Jerome.

This is commonly followed by the phrase “No homo”. Uncle Ruckus does not appear in this episode. This episode along with The Story of Jimmy Rebel have been banned from Adult Swim and Hulu. The episode returned for an airing on May 29, 2020 on Adult Swim and the episode is on HBO Max.When the episode first aired on Adult Swim, it was rated TV-MA. But when it aired on May 29, 2020, it was re-rated TV-MA-LS. The reason behind this is currently unknown. ControversyThe similarities between Winston Jerome/Ma Dukes and Tyler Perry/Madea as well as the former's portrayal towards the end of the episode has been directed to Tyler Perry via his website, e-mails and his Facebook and Twitter pages for comment. Fans of Tyler Perry have brought the episode to Mr. Perry's attention hoping for comment and in some instances, urging him to sue Aaron McGruder and Cartoon Network. Tyler Perry addressed the controversy and at the same time put to rest rumors someone was fired after the episode aired Article at Shadow And Act. In the article he states he has no plans to sue Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks (likely in referral to Turner Broadcasting, which owns Cartoon Network and TBS, which airs 3 of Perry's shows) though some readers are skeptical as to whether this is really true. Although Tyler Perry is very familiar with McGruder's work (and obviously vice versa for Aaron with Tyler's work), those who are skeptical of Tyler's statement believe it maybe be a placeholder to an actual pending complaint filed against McGruder.The Boondocks creator himself is of course known for controversy. He has a real-life feud with BET, openly criticized George W. Bush and even (reportedly) dissed Condoleezza Rice at the 2002 NAACP awards. He is considered an “outcast” by the American Black Power Establishment because of his leftist views and shocked many when he visited Cuba in 2003 and met with then-president Fidel Castro. One possible end result of this little facade is both men using the attention to promote their respective shows, movies/plays (Perry) and Comic Strips (McGruder), though this is unlikely since The Boondocks comic strip was cancelled in 2006, four years prior to this episodeCultural references The character Winston Jerome is, as mentioned above, a parody of playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry. Jerome's character Ma Dukes (who he crossdresses to portray) and the play at the beginning are parodies of Tyler Perry's character Mabel Simmons—known as Madea—and his plays and films. The episode parodies The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the songs “Sweet Transvestite” and “The Time Warp”. When Granddad recalls his acting career a flashback shows him auditioning for In the Heat of the Night, Enter the Dragon, and Rocky III. The” brown skinned bald dude from Law and Order ” is a reference to Steve Harris who plays as one of the antagonists in the film production of Diary of a Mad Black Woman. The blonde-haired overweight black woman (a parody of Cassi Davis: an actress that is frequently cast in Tyler Perry's theatrical productions, as well as the television series: Tyler Perry's House of Payne) seen through-out the episode in a zombie-like trance, states on two occasions that she “is going to get some Kool-Aid”. This is a reference to the mass suicide executed by the 909 members of The Peoples Temple Church led by Jim Jones. They all died by consuming cyanide-laced grape Flavor Aid. (The term “drinking the Kool-Aid” originates from this incident.)  Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.

Race, identity, bias...these are not easy topics for many Americans (or humans). For too long, we’ve allowed the status quo, which perpetuates inequity, to go unquestioned within our organizations - even when our hearts are in the right place. I, along with many other Americans, have only recently awakened to how racism undergirds our society and therefore has impacted us without our knowledge. It is time for managers to do their part to create diverse, equitable, and inclusive teams and organizations in which all people can truly thrive. In this episode, I speak with Aaron Samuels, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Blavity Inc., a digital community for Black Millennials that reaches over 30 million people per month across five digital properties including Blavity News, Travel Noire, AfroTech, Shadow And Act, and 21Ninety. Aaron and I talk about race and being black inside of predominantly white spaces and predominantly spaces for people of color. We talk about how to start the work of self reflection and owning your role in perpetuating bias, even when it’s not intended. And we talk about what managers can do to create a more equitable culture.  Members of The Modern Manager community get a guide to talking about diversity, equity and inclusion with your team.

Read the related blog article: 5 Steps To Make Your Work Culture More Inclusive And Equitable  Check out the new self-paced course - The Modern Manager's Guide to Effective Delegation. Get over your fears and past struggles, and learn how to effectively delegate in 7 weeks or less so that you can confidently hand off tasks to others, regain your focus, and spend the majority of your time on your highest priorities. Key Takeaways Managers need to create a culture of dialogue in which assumptions can be challenged. A healthy culture of dialogue occurs when employees can safely raise concerns about problematic things that happen in the workplace and then have those issues addressed without suffering any social repercussions.  Education about the history of oppression in the US and how it affects present realities and various identities is critical, but education alone will not create change.  Managers need to more frequently question and try to bring awareness to their inner prejudices and biases - we all have them.  Managers should publicly acknowledge their mistakes. By admitting what you said or did, and recognizing why it was wrong, you send the message to your employees that it is safe for them to make mistakes and own up to them as well.  Create a culture that encourages constructive dissent by making sure that there's always somebody in every meeting naming the opposite side of an argument.  To help identify where biases or blind spots are influencing decisions, stage a pre-mortem where you assume that your objective has failed and work backwards to determine what went wrong and why.  When making group decisions, take into account how proposed changes will affect people at all organizational levels, including junior employees. Considering everyone’s feelings before moving forward on a decision allows for alternative voices and viewpoints to be expressed and acknowledged.  Every conversation is an opportunity for you to earn the trust of somebody on your team.
