Been slowly making my way throught The Wire. Just got to the episode where
I still can't believe David Simon is white. Dude was able to create nuances in stereotypes and made real human characters despite their occupation.
Stringer dies. And I can't lie the writing on this show is fucking superb. I felt really sad when Avon and Stringer had that last moment of friendship on the roof. Acon reminiscing about the past abd how their friendship blossom in yhe streets. You can tell he was asking himself where they went wrong and then Stringer answered that by bringing up money. My nigga put the power of the all mighty dollar above blood, honour and friendship.
Such a strong moment just before they double crossed each other.

he can use my pass, The Wire is goat television and even a treasure to the AA community.
That's literally one of the most recent posts in the thread.
You can sell your humanity, but don't sell out others.
"He made a good tv show, so he can disrespect black people"
Get out of here with that

the pass isn't a pass to insult / disrespect black people, gtfo slay.
Saying it is ok for a white dude say it AND whitesplain to black people on how to use it, is disrespectful

I was listening to the Waypoint podcast that focused on the South Park game. I'm surprised that they didn't mentioned that controversial mini game.
That thread might get me banned

Wait, what thread is dis?
Jandro, how was your potluck? I assume you're the coworker here.
Comic cinematic.
At least with consoles, there's SOMETHING to get from any of the big 3.
Meanwhile, before Wonder Woman, what did the DCEU have in terms of quality? Suicide Squad? Fucking lol

GOAT show.
The first time I watch the show, I was team Stringer. Of course cuz my background is more books then streets. So if I got caught up in the game, that's how I would get out. Of course, brother M demonstrated that literacy can be just as deadly has a gun, but you never betray the code. And so Stringer got got, appropriately, by the two characters who demonstrate the most Street honor if there's such a thing.
I thought Avon was just a thug Boss until I watch the show again. He emanates a certain kind of sagaciousness that really can't be explained by the form4ally trained. What did he say?
"You know the difference between me and you? I bleed red and you bleed green. I look at you these days, String, you know what I see? I see a man without a country. Not hard enough for this right here and maybe, just maybe, not smart enough for them out there."

I see folks still shook that the best show about Black people was made by a white man. Just give JP or an Ava Duvernay-like another 10-15 years.

It's funny seeing the 'your too sensitive' arguments, of course black people are gonna be sensitive to blackface jokes, we're still dealing with that shit, and coonstagram hits far to close to home when reddit had a sub called coontown.
But all that's ok cuz cartmans an a racist asshole.

Riverdale is getting fucking dark.

Evening.
Ohh god, who ? Actually you know what i don't want to know. lol
Umm. For me there's no real difference. They're both pretty awful.
If you end up like that one dude on the new vice doc, they are transferable....to the ether.

I want to like George W Bush jr. but Ill never forget how disgusted I was by his administration during Iraq/WMD lies and Hurricane Katrina.
He doesnt have a revolting personality like dickhead Trump , but the actions of his administration made me physically ill. I cant forgive him for it.

Yeaaahhhh, he needs.....something.
Hood passes shouldn't be handed out as candy. Remember that now as Halloween is coming up.
Hah, 3%. Found it funny how they backed away from Charlottesville just to keep on being. Well themselves. Tbh I'm not all that in the know about them. Just random articles that have them all over the right wing spectrum. At least they know the alt right are Nazi scum parading around with no worth.
Nothing is. After you turn 6-8 it's time for criticism.

Been meaning to ask someone is Riverdale more of an ensemble or is Archie the "main" character.
TheGreatDirector

Ensemble, really. Betty, Veronica, and Jughead pretty much get equal screentime and plot importance with him. Overall it's more about the events that occur in the town of Riverdale rather than Archie's story alone.
