[The Somalian]

yeah sopranos series 5 to series 6 of sopranos is a 2 year gap

[Thizz]

Surprised you didn't connect with any of the characters on Soprano's Yosh.

 

I know, never got into it so just finished it as I'd started. Felt like I'd jumped in at season 3 or something.

Will definitely re-watch soon.

 

Nah i'm the same I still haven't finished The Soprano's only got to the end of Season 3.

found it interesting

Was the wire racist? Be serious

yes! though, perhaps a little more for what it doesn't show than what it does. but... like.... look at the black characters. the one black politician with any significant screen time is hilariously corrupt and Literally has "SHEEEEIT!" as his catchphrase, the one black muslim we see (NoI, naturally) is a... hitman??? and even more unrealistically for any self-respecting black nationalist is reading... harpers??? and the atlantic???? if there's any point where david simon's rimjob of his East Coast Liberal Elite audience is sloppiest, it's there...

 

i basically agree with ishmael reed's take on ithttp://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/09/30/no_it_relies_on_clichs_about_blacks_and_drugs/

 

i mean, look at some other stuff- season 2, with the Hard Workin' White Workin' Class Workin' Hard To Stay Afloat. sobotka, despite basically being complicit in the deaths of a dozen(?) women, is presented as just a guy tryna get along in a way none of the drug dealers are- not to mention sobotka's role in moving unbelievably larger amounts of "product". sobotka's death is also granted a dignity rare on the show - he walks off into the horizon, knowing he will die, and it isn't shown on screen.

boo hoo

Clarence Royce, Norman Wilson, O'Dell Watkins, Nerese Campbell, Anthony Gray, Marla Daniels all also involved in politics and were black.

Clay Davies had that much screen time because he was corrupt that was the whole point?

 

That he was involved in other dealings than politics.
