I don't get it. The show's not "over" and Bauer is still there...

What black president thing? Are they referring to when he got elected in season 1 ?

The season is over. There was a black president on the show.

Well The Boondocks basically is a racial comic, with a lot of the strip topics focused on the older brother (one with big hair) commenting on the silly stuff black people in entertainment business do and how they hold themselves down, and what he perceives as the reality of life. He's very pessimistic, thus his comment on not believing there'd ever be a black president

The Bauer thing was just commenting on the end of the season.

But yeah, if you don't know the comic, I could see it not being all that funny.

But since '24' has such a cult following, I figured I'd post it anyways.

Edit: Here's an article on the creator of The Boondocks, to explain the comics' mindset. here

I'm a fan of 24, and i thought that strip was pretty stupid.

I love Boondocks. It's one of the few reasons I subscribe to the paper. Even if A. McGruder somestimes takes up views I don't really care for, he always manages to make me laugh. And some of his commentary is spot-on.
