He feels emotion and has shown a capacity for empathy and warmth towards those he cares about but, generally, he does not let his real emotions and feelings be outwardly shown. Shown to be a highly-skilled martial artist, Huey oftentimes demonstrates on various occasions an ability with nunchaku, katana, bo staff, as well as hand to hand combat that far surpasses the expected capabilities of a year-old. Though he has won several fights against Riley, a pair of theater guards, Stinkmeaner on one occasion although with the help of his grandfather and brother , Ming on another occasion, Uncle Ruckus in the season 3 finale, and his former friend Cairo on another occasion, he has been defeated several times Stinkmeaner, Luna , Stinkmeaner's crew, and Uncle Ruckus , his fight with Bushido Brown ended in a draw Bushido Brown left the fight to protect his ward Oprah Winfrey , Luna was a Kumite fighter and a White Lotus expert, and Stinkmeaner was, at the time, a supernatural presence, and although Uncle Ruckus beat Huey the first time it is not shown who won the rematch; the beginning of the fight was the end of the episode.
He also fought a few of Winston Jerome 's men. Huey regularly beats Riley with ease in their fights despite the fact Riley often uses objects such as frying pans, or golf clubs in their fights implying Huey is very disciplined and skilled against armed opponents. As shown, his style appears to be a mixture of several forms of Kung-Fu, Karate, and Ninjutsu.
Riley is Huey's younger brother, and regularly represents everything Huey loathes and generally disapproves of. Huey is politically minded and critical while Riley remains uninterested, showing great affection for things like gangsta rap, violence, and "bling", which Huey finds to be culturally poisonous. Huey tends to treat Riley more like how a father would to his child, rather than his equal. Despite their constant fighting and his disagreement with Riley's beliefs, Huey cares very much for his brother, and he usually tries to steer him in the right direction and performs acts which Riley initially ignores, but result in Riley facing the consequences of his actions later on.
They also get into furious battles with each other. Robert Freeman is the paternal grandfather and legal guardian of Huey and Riley Freeman, who often disagrees with many of Huey's political ideas. While in the comic strip, Huey and his grandfather have a much more affable relationship, in the series, they are almost constantly at odds, in part due to his constant favoritism shown to Riley, who supports his grandfather's various crazy schemes.
Huey seems to offer Granddad advice in certain situations, such as during " Granddad's Fight ", " The S-Word ", and " The Story of Thugnificent ," attempts that almost always fall flat. Although Jazmine and Huey spend a great deal of their time together, Huey often treats Jazmine poorly due to his disdain for her trusting personality and apolitical views. In the series, the two appear to be a lot closer, in fact, she is the only child he is shown to be interacting with outside of Riley as with Huey confiding in her about his desire to meet up with his former best friend Cairo during a planned trip to Chicago " Wingmen " and Huey allowing her to help him in his plan to free an unjustly imprisoned inmate scheduled to be executed out of prison " The Passion of Reverend Ruckus " , essentially trusting her as an accomplice.
Despite treating Jazmine coldly, Huey has shown a proclivity to empathize with her on occasion, and he also shows visible concern for her at times, for instance, in " The Block is Hot " he campaigns for her release from under the near-child labor contract that she unknowingly signs with Ed Wuncler, Sr, and he gives her his scarf at the end of the episode when she gets cold.
Also, when it seems the world is going to end in the episode " The Fried Chicken Flu " Huey lets Jazmine stay at his house so she won't die. Tom DuBois, represents almost everything Huey is primarily against. Tom, being a strait-laced liberal democrat assistant district attorney, is part of the structure that Huey views as inhibitive and self-destructive. He also dislikes Tom because he is very unmanly and encourages his daughter to conform to a more European look rather than emphasizing her African features, as shown when Tom mentions that he has tried everything to make Jazmine's hair more straight.
Despite Huey's disagreements with Tom, the two are shown generally to be on good terms as he often acknowledges Huey's intellect and maturity to the extent that he will often turn to Huey for advice on subjects ranging from help with his marriage, politics, and his career as a prosecutor with Huey supporting Tom's prosecution of R. And that's a happy accident. Initially, producers sought out different performers to play each part.

McGruder had intended for The Boondocks to be a TV show when he formulated the idea, and a strip was a means to an end.
Still, even with a well-known comic as source material, McGruder struggled to get a show made. According to an interview with The A. Club , McGruder unsuccessfully attempted to sell the show for "over five or six years" before selling the idea to Sony Pictures Television.
That's when Adult Swim jumped in and bought the show, debuting it in And interestingly, he retained an executive producer credit through the first two seasons of The Boondocks during its Adult Swim years.

So that made things interesting in when the Boondocks episode " Pause " co-written by McGruder hit the airwaves.

According to the Los Angeles Times , Perry was so upset that he told Turner executives that he might take his business to another network. It could've been even more incendiary. When McGruder turned in the script, higher-ups forced him to change the name of the Tyler Perry-like character after his first attempt sounded too close to "Tyler Perry," and then had him bury it deep in the season instead of his initial intent to make it a highly publicized season premiere.
