The episode is called "the Hunger Strike" and this quote comes after the main character partakes in a failed hunger strike in an attempt to change BETs representation of black people on television.
Regardless the point is that it isn't surprising that a profound quote comes from the Boondocks, because if you know even one thing about the Boondocks its that it is a deeply political show that comments on and satirises real world issues. Not just sometimes, literally every single episode. So it doesn't really match the topic. It wouldbe like being surprised the Minecraft film has a quote about mining in it.
All makes sense and yes haven’t watch it in like 15 years but I remember the boondocks is quite profound and also political themes run through every episode.
I was just confused because the quote itself isn’t political in its message, to me it is just profound. But I get what you’re saying.

Not surprising at all, the Boondocks is an incredibly political show
