** We learn from this episode that Uncle Ruckus’ hate for black people actually stems from the hate of his own abusive father, Mister Ruckus.

* KarmicDeath: Mister Ruckus celebrates the death of his mother Nelly and calls his son Uncle a failure during the funeral. Uncle Ruckus calls him out for adapting his mother’s abusive tendencies and taking out his anger on his son. Mister becomes angry and is winds up to hit Ruckus, only to suffer a spasm of lumbago and fall into Nelly's grave, [[AssholeVictim where he dies from a broken neck]].

* AbusiveParents: Mister Ruckus would beat Ruckus up for any misdemeanour (such as ''reading'').

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ruckus' PetTheDog side shows when he interacts with his mom and brothers (all of whom are black).
