* Uncle Ruckus reveals that he was raised by a cruel and abusive father, Mister Ruckus. Mister had an extremely short temper and would beat around his own little son for little or no reason. Eventually Mister threw Uncle out of the house, much to the protests of Mister's wife and younger sons. Uncle was so traumatized by the ordeal (pictured above) that it's the reason why he hates his own race so much. His childhood was so horrific that even Riley feels bad for him.

[[AC:Guess Hoe's Coming To Dinner]]
* Faced with strong opposition to Cristal's presence from Huey and Riley (because she's very obviously a lazy, slovenly, gold-digging ho), Robert sincerely confesses to them that Cristal makes him ''happy,'' and asks them why they want to take that away from him at his old age? Then at the end of the episode he tells Cristal that she can stay with them and make something of her life, but after promising she would she instead she runs back to A Pimp Named Slickback. Robert is left sitting at the kitchen table in the dark and waiting for her to return, keeping a candelabra lit so she won't think everyone is asleep when she does, refusing to face the fact that she never will.

** Viewers can also interpret this as white supremacy, having more privilege in the world than people of color do. The administration, full of white people, reject Huey’s idea of making Jesus black. Even trying to convince the poor kid to write that Jesus was any other color, rather than just going along with black Jesus.

* Huey’s vision for the school Christmas play was turned down because of the entitled administration believing all of the play is written with misinformation, and changed it entirely. As he walks away from the situation, Huey’s teacher desperately tries to reassure him that it will still be a good play, but Huey just tells him not to credit him, since none of his vision will be put into it, and walks away saddened. While he was a bit too strict with the crew and the cast, Huey’s hurt feelings are valid. You honestly can’t help but feel bad for the kid.
