Colonel H. Stinkmeaner is a fictional character from the Adult Swim animated television series The Boondocks, voiced by Cedric Yarbrough. He is a foulmouthed, blind old man who believes it is his mission in life, and apparently in death, to spread hatred, ignorance and chaos wherever he goes.

[edit] Appearance
Stinkmeaner is a dark-skinned black man with a frail-looking body, wily gray hair, buckteeth, and sunglasses. Throughout his life, he is always seen with a mean scowl. He became blind at age fifteen due to cancer and was expected to die three years later. Doctors were at a loss as to how he managed to live so long, but it is believed that his "love of hatred" is what kept him going.
[edit] Personality
Stinkmeaner is known for his foul attitude, Ebonics-ridden insults, mostly with the word "nigga" (he actually pronounces it "Nee-Uh-Guh" and "Nyu-kuh") and constantly spitting, misanthropy, and hatred for all people of all races (black people in particular) and things that are meant to bring joy. He also believes that anyone who is possibly killed by him receive the closest thing to an honorable death they can possibly get and in that respect, considers himself a "humanitarian" for this reason. He is the series's prime instigator of "nigga moments," times where "ignorance overwhelms the mind of a perfectly logical negro male, causing him to act in an illogical manner." According to the series, these situations are the #3 reason why black men are killed (porkchops and FEMA being #2 and #1 respectively), and Stinkmeaner's death was the result of a confrontation with Robert "Granddad" Freeman.
In the second season, he is bent on getting revenge on the Freemans. While in Hell, Satan himself describes him as "the baddest motherfucker Hell had ever seen," and Stinkmeaner even calls him a "bitch-ass nigga." Since his death, Stinkmeaner has trained under the devil's wing in martial arts and nunchaku, commenting "You're gonna have to kick me out of this bitch, I'm having the time of my life!" He proves to be even more psychotic when he possesses Tom Dubois and tries to kill Granddad with an ax. He also fights the Freeman children, commenting that they're "not too little to get dat ass whooped."
His favorite song is possibly Ellens dritter Gesang by Franz Schubert, as he is heard singing the chorus "Ave Maria" at random times.
[edit] Series appearances
In Granddad's Fight, Stinkmeaner first appears in the series when he slams his car repeatedly into the Freeman car Dorothy, believing the handicapped space is always free (the dented sign post shows that he always roughly parks there, further alluding to it in Stinkmeaner Strikes Back). This instigates a "nigga moment" when he blames Granddad for being in the space in the first place and proceeds to stomp on his brand new white Nike tennis shoes. When Granddad tries to throw a punch, he taps Stinkmeaner's cane with his foot, giving away his position, and allowing Stinkmeaner to move just in time to avoid the punch. When Granddad hits the ground, the blind man strikes him on his bad knee, and the fight somehow makes national and international headlines. Granddad challenges him to a rematch, and Huey, mistakenly believing that Stinkmeaner has heightened senses and skills as a result of his blindness, helps him train for two weeks (he even dreams sword-fighting Stinkmeaner as the Blind Nigga Samurai). During the fight, Stinkmeaner swings around his cane wildly shouting expletives while Granddad lands blow after blow with the final one killing the blind man. Huey describes him as a "blind old man who had just gotten lucky" in their first encounter.[1]
In Stinkmeaner Strikes Back, Stinkmeaner is resurrected when Satan believes that he is the best candidate to "spread ignorance and chaos in the black community" and to get revenge on the Freeman family. He possesses Tom Dubois when the prosecutor is in a nigga moment, as a black man's spirit is weakened and vulnerable during one, and slowly gains full control over him. After having relations with Tom's wife Sarah, he attacks the Freeman household until he is knocked out and held down (in Riley's bed, to his disgust). His constant shouting ruins Granddad's blind date, and the Freemans summon Uncle Ruckus to exorcise Stinkmeaner's spirit from Tom's body. Ruckus's techniques of forcing Stinkmeaner to read and beating him with whips and nightsticks (all things that frighten black men according to Ruckus) have little to no effect, but the ghost of Ghostface Killah (who is not really dead) cryptically reveals to Huey that the only sure way to end a nigga moment is with peace. Stimulating a friendly conversation between Ruckus and Stinkmeaner by comparing their mutual hatred of black people, the blind man's spirit is forced out of Tom's body but swears to return to eventually get his revenge.
