Bunny Ruckus

Bunny Ruckus is a character of The Boondocks. She appeared in the episode "The Color Ruckus". She is the mother of Uncle Ruckus.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) For starters, she, alongside her husband Mister, is responsible for Uncle's hatred of African Americans, as she taught him to love "The White Man" as a child and made him believe that he suffered from "re-vitiligo", which she makes up in order to help Uncle with his low self-esteem.
 * 2) Though this is understandable, given Mister's abusive behavior, she is unfaithful towards her husband.
 * 3) * She decides to marry her white lover after Mister dies during Nelly's funeral and she did not mourn him, showing that she never loved Mister.
 * 4) * She never appreciates the hard work that Mister has done for the family.
 * 5) Despite the fact that she is an African-American woman herself, she denounces and disrespects the achievements accomplished by black people.
 * 6) * When she taught Uncle history during his childhood, she spoke lowly of George Washington Carver, claiming that he caused deaths through peanut allergies.
 * 7) She is lazy, as she never seems to put in effort to provide for her family and instead wishes that her life would've been easier if she were white.
 * 8) She is so deluded by her love for "The White Man" that she never takes the time to see the faults within white people.
 * 9) * She never sympathizes with Mister's misery caused by the abuse that the white people have inflicted on him.
 * 10) She seems to favor Uncle over her younger sons Darryl and Darrell.
 * 11) Bunny continues to manipulate Uncle with her lies even after Mister confesses the truth to him, letting Uncle to continue to be as deluded as her.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Star Jones did a terrific job voicing her.
 * 2) Unlike Mister, Bunny shows affection towards her sons, especially Uncle.
