Riley and Huey, before they got their separate beds.

(Just in case it needs to be said, this is NOT to be taken in an inappropriate/shipping way.)

I really wish they would’ve kept Jazmine’s backstory in the series. It would’ve showed that she was complex like Huey was, and that even she had her own struggles, despite their challenges being different from one another.

As written in the comics, Jazmine had issues with her identity, particularly when it came to her hair. Although she was biracial, she didn’t inherit her mother’s hair texture and instead, she had an Afro. This caused her to feel self conscious about herself and wonder why she didn’t share that similar feature with her mother.

She was always trying to straighten it, and even tried denying that she had an Afro. Instead of her parents telling her to embrace her hair, they tried many products to make it look more socially acceptable, and none of them worked.

Even in the script of the original pilot episode of “The Boondocks,” Uncle Ruckus made insulting comments about her hair, and condone the bullying that she was dealing with at school.

This dialogue between Ruckus and Robert takes place after Huey and Riley get into a fight with some boys who were making fun of Jazmine, and they end up in detention because of it. Although this scene doesn’t appear in the clip that was released, here’s a screenshot of the part where Ruckus made those remarks about her.

With this, as well as other examples, it confirms to me that Ruckus never truly liked Jazmine. He might have tolerated her a little more than the boys, but he rarely said her name, and pejoratively referred to her as slurs that describe those who are mixed race.

The only one that made her feel good about her hair was Huey. He even advised Tom, Jazmine’s father, to educate her about the beauty of her black roots, but Tom didn’t listen. He even compared her hair to the clouds, big but pretty. That compliment flew over her head, but it was still cute regardless. Also, he still viewed her as black, and didn’t treat her as if she was different.

I love the Jazmine we got in the show, there’s no doubt about it. However, I can only imagine how powerful her character would’ve been had they given us an episode exploring her background, and watching her build her self esteem. It would’ve been really touching to watch her transform from someone that was unsure of herself to a person who was confident in the skin she was in.

Seriously, 2024 would have given so much material
