* DidntThinkThisThrough: Robert learns the hard way that he can't sue the school in hopes of striking it rich, because the school doesn't make that much money anyway, or as he wanted. This is evidenced by the principal laughing at the unrevealed settlement and instead suspending the teacher. Tom warned him about this.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Like quite a few ''Boondocks'' premises, this was based on a true incident involving a white teacher getting in trouble for calling his black student a "nigga" when in actuality, he was simply repeating the word when it was first used by the student. The teacher even goes on to justify his actions becasue he claims he wasn't trying to be racist.

Riley's teacher, Mr. Petto, calls him a "nigga", which becomes a newsworthy incident. It turns out this is actually because Riley, being ''Riley'', used the word first, and Mr. Petto was just parroting him. Regardless, Robert and Riley want to cash in on the incident, to Huey's disapproval. This eventually blows out of proportion, getting Rollo Goodlove and Ann Coulter involved and pitting them against each other.
