Whoever it was that thought of this, I'd like to punch them in the face. Seriously. I hope this isn't the kind of stuff they're replacing Blue's Clues with. Just imagine what a huge effect this will have on 3 year old black kids, they'll be talking and acting like gangsters by the time they're 7. Just the name "thugaboo" is offensive. I feel sorry for any little kids whose parents would expose them to this junk.

This show doesn't promote ant type of "gangsta". Everyone's saying that the name Thugaoo is offensive. On the Thugaboo DVD. The Wayans explained what the named mean. It has nothing to do with "Jiggaboo" If that's what ya thought. "Thug" means you're hard on the outside and "Boo" is you're soft on the inside. At first before this aired, I wasn't too fond of the name but I could't talk about the show. That would be judging something by its cover. Hence the name "Thugaboo" the kids act differetly than how the look.
Homey the clown, don't mess around. Even though the man, try to put him down.
You are confusing the Wayans who created In Living Color, almost twenty years ago with the Wayans Corporation in 2006, A corporation's sole purpose is to make money and will put the most racist stereotypes on TV to make a buck without any responsibility. Damon Wayans was in Spike Lee's Bamboozled. He knows better than this. All they want right now is the cash, they have lost the values that In Living Color trumpeted. After the cash from Scary Movie rolled in they just lost it.
