Uncle Ruckus
Uncle Ruckus hates black people. Which is kind of awkward, since he appears to be a black man himself.

But more than that, he has a deep respect, admiration and love of white people. To him, there’s only one King, and that’s Elvis, not Dr. Martin Luther King.

And the only reason that black people have topped the white man when it comes to cooking pork is that, in his words, "His big brain is just focused on more important things, like running the world and space ships."

With a worldview like this, it’s curious that Ruckus and Granddad can stand to be around each other.
