You didn't even read it, did you? You just disregarded it because it doesn't fit your world view. You are pathetic, scum of the earth. People present you with scientifically backed evidence showing how the world really is and you disregard it because it is brought to your attention by a group of people you find inferior to you.
“Oh man, that criminal did something bad. The people in prison are going to tear him up for that, they hate people like that.”
Thanks for the input, Todd from New Hampshire. Your perspective as the only child in a $200,000+ household from a wealthy neighborhood is truly insightful.
Someone said in that thread “that’s why it’s a terrible movie” completely disregarding the fact it’s held in high regard by almost all black people. Like ffs John Singleton directed rap videos and grew up in the hood, he wasn’t some idiot who didn’t know what he was talking about.
In every single metric The Wire is not a good show. It's simply not. I am sick and tired of people pretending it is. It's not even the best show on HBO.
"The Wire is best show on tv, except season 2 and season 5, which is practically half the show! Trust me, snails pace shows are actually good!" pfffttt
I have never seen that show ranked lower than #2 on any all-time lists. The only show you can argue is better is The Sopranos. If you don't like The Wire, you might just be retarded.
The Sopranos blows it away, Mad Men is way more consistent, Rome is better... I could go on and on. It was good af at the time but it's the most overrated show ever.
Murder is a harsh reality in many places pro athletes grow up. You equating that with racism or police brutality is totally disingenuous. Gang affiliations happen usually due to survival or a lack of options. Nobody has to become a cop or join the kkk under the same circumstances. And you know this.
People actually believe this. There exists people that unironically think that you have to join a gang to survive
There's some truth to it. Gangs are basically MLMs that may use threat of violence to drive recruitment in neighborhoods that are immersed in gang culture. It's insane that he's writing about it in passive voice, though.
Maybe I'm being a little bit nitpicky here, but I'm astounded that anyone believes the KKK is an organization that exists today. How long does it take to adapt to the post-1950s reality where the FBI destroyed the KKK? How many people on Reddit were alive back then? How many of these people's parents were even alive back then?
thats because the level of play was a lot higher. Dennis Rodman didn't even touch a basketball until after high school. and 7 years later he was in the NBA.
Now they start scouting kids in middle school and most players are 2nd or 3rd gen professional basketball players.
and once they hit middle school they were enrolled into private schools in the rich part of the city with apartments paid for by the school for their parents to live in.
fuck Donald Trump was just as poor at 13 as they were.
Maybe that is true but it kinds of kills the idea that gangs are needed to protect them, no? LeBron grew up in a gang infested neighborhood and he and his friends never banged and are all rich now. KD's mom worked overtime to keep him out of trouble. Kawhi is the whitest black guy of all time and by the way according to Ryen Russillo his uncle is super educated in finance and is helping him out. These guys are all ridiculously wealthy now, speak perfect English, and aren't ghetto at all. The idea these guys needed to have gangs is ridiculous. They are just really smart guys that are crushing it now. Black people are able to become wealthy without dem programs. The idea a black person from a bad neighborhood needs to bang is fucking offensively stupid. Black people are smart too and these 3 guys prove it.
Bruh, when you come up in bad neighborhoods you GOTTA put respect on the gangs. They provide community support, brotherhood, throw cookouts ect for the young bucks. I know this first hand cause I've been living in Oakland for the last two years after I got a product manager position at Pandora.
I remember the first shooting I responded to. Three kids who were local bloods got shot by someone from a rival gang who they didn't even know. I had to treat a 16 year old who had been shot multiple times in his chest as he's telling me to go fuck myself cause I'm a cop. He died before the ambulance even got there, another one passed away at the hospital and the sole survivor is now homeless and addicted to heroin. But someone on Reddit said gangs are actually good for the community so what would I know?
Interestingly enough, Lil Wayne was saved by a white NOPD officer when he was like 13 and accidentally shot himself in the chest. And then like 20 years later the same cop got fired for calling some inmate the n-word.
This is the time of year where /r/nba has their annual "Out Mayo's-LARPing-as-Boyz-n'da-Hood" competition with /r/BlackPeopleTwitter. Nothing to see here, disregard everything and move along.

How do people type shit like that out without realizing the insanely awful implications?
1 KanyeetWeebs 2019-07-07
Because the victims of gangs are poor untalented people that don't provide any entertainment for them.

privileged white suburbanites who romanticize everything because they've been coddled their entire lives and think that's how the world actually is.

1 RandolphCox 2019-07-07
Let me guess you’re also the person that when asked says “Baltimore is my favorite character in The Wire”. The Wire stinks.
1 JumbledFun 2019-07-07
Since I'm a hardass gangsta (white from a quiet suburb) obviously Chris partlow is my favorite character since he's the one I most identify with
1 RandolphCox 2019-07-07
"I like the 2 dimensional violent black man." Again The Wire stinks. Only white people like it because it breeds their racist desires.

Game of Thrones if you exclude the last few episodes is strongest by far.

LeBron, KD, and Kawhi are all from poverty and aren’t gang bangers. Best players in the league.
