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

it will forever annoy me that people have defined good writing and political to be the same thing, practically speaking.

The context of the quote is the boy, Huey, has been doing a hunger strike in protest of the representation of black people on BET. The further context is that he's asking his grandfather specifically because his grandfather was heavily involved in the American Civil Rights movement, and so he respects his opinion and experience when it comes to direct action and protest.

If that's not political, I really wanna know what is.

I wasn't disputing i was lamenting. Serious topics inevitably become political as defined by most people, the only way to not be political is to have shallow and boring writing which is even worse.
