Line 54:
* ''Uncle Ruckus'': An overweight man with a grotesque appearance who idolizes white culture. Ruckus is self-hating, dissassociating himself from his African-American heritage as best as he can, and instead championing whatever small traces of [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] and [[Irish]] ancestry he may have. His greatest wish is that black people were still enslaved, because he believes that they were better off that way. He claims to have a mythical disease called ''"re''-[[vitiligo]]" ("the reverse of what Michael Jackson has," he always retorts). His character is a [[hyperbole|hyperbolic]] parody of the self-hating black man, and is named after [[Uncle Remus]] from ''[[Song of the South]]''.
 
* ''Ed Wuncler III'': The grandson of Ed Wuncler I, who owns the Freeman's home. Ed III is a somewhat psychotic ex-soldier portrayed as a representation of the "poser" stereotype: a white person who acts like an exaggerated version of a young black person. He has recently returned to America from [[Iraq]], where he was serving military duty; he is also implied to be an alcoholic. His character, voiced by [[Charlie Murphy]], he could be seen as a parody of [[George W. Bush]], painted in broad strokes -- an ineffectual former soldier, destined to be president on the strength of his family's wealth and power, despite his sub-average intelligence.
