They barely ever read the content of the article.

Anyway, the Wire had a profound examination of the root causes of black on black violence (poverty, drugs, guns, disenfranchisement etc) and had a majority white writing staff.
Great point.

the wire was a great show and had things to say at times but in no way was it some kind social commentary on white supremacy
the most i will give is that it tackled the corrupt government. the rest was nikkas in poverty that showed why they were how they were

seeing as though i highly doubt this will be as good as the wire i expect this will be nothing to hoop and holler about with white supremacy

there's no reason to not be skeptical of this. the amount of shows/movies that were released that were said to "tackle black issues" that were full of stereotypes and BS far outweighs those with sufficient social commentary.

For some of you dummies, the show is going to TACKLE the debate. From what it sounds like systematic racism will be a heavy issue in the series, meaning its more than likely the show will tear down the argument of black on black crime for what it is.

From what you want it to personally sound like, you think it's going be a hard rock indictment on cacs.

Nothing gleamed from this flimsy, vague article really tells anything.

the amount of shows/movies that were released that were said to "tackle black issues" that were full of stereotypes and BS far outweighs those with sufficient social commentary.

Exactly.


Again it just all goes back to who Luke Cage actually is and if any of you know anything about comics.

Meanwhile, not once has all the Batman shows referred to the crime problem in Gotham as a white on white crime issue. :mjpls:

Good point breh.

The more fukked up part is that we never really talk about White on White crime but keep defending against the idea of black on black crime being a thing. we always gotta to be on the defense against these dumb talking points because the white-supremacy echo chamber is STRONK.

Where is the outcry of all the white on white crime going on in some of them mid-west states or red-neck, meth-head communities?

The Wire definitely made direct allusions to white supremacy vis a vis the lack of government action when it comes to the status quo. There was critique on everything from the underfunding of public schools in black neighborhoods to the lack of good policing in black neighborhoods which showed that everything was about ' juking the stats' and not necessarily making these neighborhoods safer. This all plays into the 'white supremacy' narrative as it speaks to the institutionalized plight of black neighborhoods in cities such as Baltimore.

That's because black on black crime is disproportionate and is more than just a talking point. The LCOD for black males between 15-34 is homicide.

what did I say specifically? You quoted someone else.




I see your lack of comprehension. I said "topics through Luke Cage" which meant that the problem itself was that the entity of Luke Cage himself is a weak and malign vehicle to tackle black issues.

Okay, I see the "developer" is black, so I'll give it that. Still not a guarantee for anything, and that's because of what Luke Cage as a character, as a vehicle of blackness, actually means. We're not dealing with levels of Static here on the comic book graces of being socially poignant on blackness.


The entire premise of the existence of Luke Cage is faulty in itself considering his stereotypical origin as written by cacs and his lame character since then as written by cacs.








nikka that argument is so damn weak and nit picky im just over here laughing at your goofy ass :mjlol:.

"Im talking through luke cage":russ:


nikka shut yo crybaby ass up

It's disproportionate because blacks are a smaller population and because homicide is a blanket word that has more than one definition.(Manslaughter, Justifiable Homicide and sometimes murder by association with those who actually commit the murders themselves)

The definitions and talking points definitely hurt.

I'd love to see whether Whites in the same age group really die to "unintentional injuries" at that rate and haven't had their homicide rate lowered because of under-reporting instead.

Plus circumstances to many of the official stats leave a lot of the context out why homicide rates for blacks is the way it is.
