Are we ready to have some uncomfortable discussions about ‘The Wire’?

[David_TheMan]

Season two focused on the dock workers who were mostly White.
The show had focuses on: The Baltimore Police department (the primary focus of the show), a small segment of East Baltimore, the drug trade, Baltimore politics, Baltimore school system and Baltimore media.

Yeah so how can you say its a show about the city of Baltimore when its literally a show only about the bad parts of baltimore?

Nobody on this show was good or bad

80% of the people the show focused on were bad or evil.
Its strange you watch a show and suddenly bad crooked cops aren't bad now.
drug dealers who murder and terrorize their own communities aren't bad
dirty lying and cheating politicians aren't bad
theives aren't bad
junkied aren't bad

Since when in reality are these people not bad?

Nobody on this show was good or bad

Except for the victims, mostly innocent, like the delivery lady who got killed by Chris Partlow....

they living in survival mode so that's the muscle that get flexed the most.

some of the smartest and most athletically gifted people i know for caught up in the streets. some made it out. some didn't

they aren't as smart as you think they are if they got caught up in the streets because thats been a losing situation from the beginning of time.

not everybody have the luxury of choice

not everybody have the luxury of choice

Everyone has a choice, stop with the bullshyt of a person didn't have a choice but to sell drugs or rob from people. We all know that is bullshyt.

Hard disagree, environment shapes a person, the few that make it out the dirt unscathed are exceptional and outliers, not the norm.

The little pawn that makes it to the other side to get moved up...

Most people in those same environments are not criminals and don't enter criminality and street life.
So again stop with the bullshyt excuses for the worst in society and our group that take the easy way out and the path that everyone and their mom knows leads only to jail and a early grave.

You only partially got the show. They covered this in season 4. The school system in Baltimore is broken (as well as the foster care system). They fundamental broke down how the city of Baltimore has felled those kids.

Omar: Due Tell

Are ya'll doing this on porpoise?

 

[Smalley Biggs]

yes it is.
You never went to the homes and the community of Clay Davis (where he lived not the people he exploited)
You only saw a glimpse of the different like that Lt. Daniels and his wife lived.

That said the only thing the white folks want to highlight is fukking black dysfunction and broadcast that shyt all around the world, and get folks like yourself , whites, and etc to call it "real" as if the majority of black living that isn't that bullshyt is not "real"

i'm sick of it.

I hate to see people talk about Omar like he is something positive, Omar is a worthless piece of shyt. Stringer Bell is a worthless piece of shyt. Clay Davis was a worthless piece of shyt, Avon, a worthless piece of shyt. Bubbles a worthless piece of shyt. Nothing but a show full of pieces of shyt.

Yet you can't go to a board where people aren't making these characters out as some how noble or cool or having honor. They are black terrorists to black people in poor communities.

When it comes to drama series, negativity is what's in demand. It doesn't matter the race or the community. People admire Tony Soprano and Walter White as well. 2 pieces of shyt themselves. No one is gonna watch a drama about a couple who's stayed faithful to each other for 30 years, raised 3 great kids who are all doing great in college and ready to start their own small businesses. That type of positivity is more suited for sitcoms.

Maybe she was having an affair on her husband

this is bullshiit, You know nothing about the "streets" if you say some dumb shiit like that

jail or an early grave may sound crazy to you but when that's all you see that becomes your norm. Nobody making excuses but if you born in a pack of wolves it not likely you gonna be a vegetarian.

Some people make that choice. Some people the choice was made for them but we could Agree to disagree

Italians have argued about their representation as mobsters as well, though. They fight against it.
We should be doing the same with regard to our representation in jewish controlled media.
Its one thing when you have faces in real society that discount jewish fiction, its another when the only broadcast message is this shyt and the idiots to pander to a too larger group of our populace thihnks acting like a buffon or criminal is "real".
You will never see a culture like black america where you have people who will come out and defend people like Quintin Tarrentino and that piece of shyt work Django or defend Biden and HIlary shamelessly pandering and being outright disrespectful to black americans like too many of us do.

So tell me how many wins do you see from people in the streets?

LOL stop with the liberal bullshyt kid.
These kids know it and they often tell you they know this shyt was wrong and they were told it was wrong but they didn't care when they have some time to sit down in jail.

So cut the bullshyt. They have a choice, only a few make the choice, and they aren't objects of pity they are objects of scorn at least they should be.
