Can those things be roped into satire? Sure but the main focus that made The Boondocks work in the comic and first 3 seasons was how it put a mirror up to us and the powerful.

We need people willing to interrogate the powerful rather than just make fun of random things we see online that can easily be meme culture.

But I would say that satire is necessary for very specific things that require more than just skewering for the sake of a good laugh. We need the tool of satire to shine a light on the absurdity of the powerful when they try to exert power upon us. The Boondocks is better tool to punch up.

Is it important to have a Boondocks style show when we have so many memes driving the culture all at once? I am not sure. Sometimes the internet has these things covered already.

You stay offline for a few hours and you can miss an entire eco-system of information that leads into a very niche aspect of meme-culture.
