Posters attacked Danny Strong because he's white writing a show about a black family. On the same token, David Simon is white writing a show about blacks. Both are still white and have never been black, therefore, I don't see how one would get a pass and the other doesn't. Empire is also based on actual events or people. There are real life artists in the show.

That's the comparison. Posters who are on their moral high ground don't care how close or far away the writing is, Strong was attacked for being a white guy writing a black show

I'm expecting someone to say David Simon has black in him, after all this is the same place that calls Rita Ora black :russ:

The Coli is back on its bull as usual. The Wire is the GOAT show, yet I'll hate on Empire when every negative thing I can point out about Empire could also be said about The Wire. I could see if it was "the writing on Empire is horrible", "the acting is terrible", "the show's wack", etc, but miss me with all this "oh, the writer's white", "they c00ning", "can't ya'll see they using this show to destroy us". :camby:
The Wire was a philosophical look at the Baltimore Drug Trade
It is in no way meant to be popcorn entertainment like this bullshyt

This nikka tryin' to compare The Wire to a show that's marketed alongside The Real Housewives :heh:

I enjoyed season 2, but admittedly it's a different pace considering how powerful the first season was. Still, in hindsight, I'm glad they explored the docks, and it all blends in perfectly later on down the line in the final season. It reminds me of Halloween III which despite not having Michael Myers, was still an interesting dark b-movie in its own right.
Cool, good to kno. I'll get into it next week.
