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

[Ol’Otis]

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?


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?

Stop whining

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.

you sound like a bytch

Stop whining

Comments like yours is why black americans are struggling to stay in the race.
You think speaking out on how we are purposely negatively portrayed in the media is the problem, not the people making this shyt and spreading these images. SMH

I bet you think Django was a work of art don't you. Sam jackson really did his thang didn't he? smh

you sound like a bytch

yes I'm the bytch by saying the people who terrorize their own people and knowingly do evil shyt are the problem and not victims.

 

[Peruvian Connect]

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

A lot. A lot of black business are owned by "street nikkas" or "reformed" street nikkas.

Right or wrong tell me where a teenager can make $50G's or more a year,

LOL, sure kid, most black businesses aren't owned by street folks. They are owned by hard working blacks who just tried to do the right thing.
I'm willing to bet you there are more convicts and former convicts from the street crime avenue than there are J princes, thats most likely a 1 in a 1,000,000 shot. Which is terrible.

Most drug dealers aren't making 50gs a year, and to be real honest when you factor in all the other shyt that comes with it, they could make slightly less money with less stress as a teenager working for mcdonals , at a grocery store, cutting lawns, or doing legal work.

Why don't you say the real reason why they would rather be on the streets, they think their is glamor or prestige associated with it. That is the issue.

If you say so buddy. Like I said you know nothing about the streets.

You don't even know how racist this is, you must be a white boy playing a character.

If you say so buddy. Like I said you know nothing about the streets.

Most black people know nothing of the streets becfause that isn't synonmous with being black and most blacks, the vast majority of us aren't criminals.

Now keep peddling nonsense about most legit business men being from "the streets" when its known most of them are in jail or dead. Looking at movies and listening to rap got you kids thinking reality is a lie and those fake stories are true. SMH

 

[Smalley Biggs]

Italians have argued about their representation as mobsters as well, though. They fight against it.

You're talking about a very small minority of Italians. Most Italians love all those mafia movies way more than black folks love The Wire.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Most street nikkas are dumb
No school smarts at all
I gave a ride to this dealer years ago and had to help him text his customer for a delivery

Be an accessory brehs

 

[African Peasant]

TheWire in a nutshell : black people are junkies, deviants and criminals and are bound to remain in the street forever

 

[African Peasant]

Nobody on this show was good or bad
