“Are you ready for Black Jesus?”
Tonight Adult Swim will premiere Aaron McGruder ‘s already controversial Black Jesus , and we can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about.
The Boondocks creator has conservative groups fuming over his foul-mouthed live-action comedy, which centers on Jesus, who lives in present-day Compton, California, where he and his small group of followers are on “a mission to spread love throughout the neighborhood.”
