I Wasn't Part Of Any

David Simon [the Creator Of The Wire] And I Have A Running Controversy For Years. It All Stems From A Telephone Call I Made To Kpfa [pacifica Radio] When He Was A Guest There In The 90's On Chris Welche's Show. He Was Going Around The Country With A Black Kid From The Ghetto To Promote Something Called The Corner - It Was All About Blacks As Degenerates Selling Drugs, Etc.

Another California Study Counted 30,000 Substance Abusers Who Are Pregnant Are White Woman. So, The Wire Paints The Picture Of Drug Addiction, Drug Dealing, And Drug Abuse As Being A Specifically A Black Issue.

A Black Boxer's Career Is The Perfect Metaphor For The Career Of A Black Male. Every Day Is Like Being In The Gym, Sparring With Impersonal Opponents As One Faces The Rudeness And Hostility That A Black Male Must Confront In The United States, Where He Is The Object Of Both Fear And Fascination.

I Was Roommates With 2 Of The Guys Who Were Influential In Forming The Black Arts Philosophy. I Called Them "goons," And [amiri] Baraka Took Offense At That. But If You Read His Autobiography, The Night We Went Up There For A Fundraiser, He Talks About How He Wished That Some Violence Would Happen To Us. How Do You Like Baraka As A Gracious Host?

Two Of The Great Leaders Of The Past - Booker T. Washington And Frederick Douglass - Had White Fathers - Who Deserted Them. Now Margo Jefferson, Who Is Hard On Me And The Fellas, Wrote In The Times That She Has Nocturnal, Erotic Fantasies About John Wayne. What's Up With These Feminists? Do You See These Double Standards These Feminists Have? They Dream About John Wayne, But They're Hard On Us [black Men].
