Unfortunately, In The World Today,

David Simon Goes To The Jewish Weekly And Said He's Made All This Money, But He Can't Enjoy It Because Of Criticism By People Like Ishmael Reed.

I Think I Have A Pugnacious Style. My Style Is Not Pretty. I Don't Use Words Like "amber" Or "opaque."

I Asked Joe Weixlmann Why He Would Print A Death Threat Like That In Light Of The Fact That There Are All Of These Armed Ideological Nuts Wandering Around Loose. He Said That For Him, To "ice" Someone Means To Reprimand Them.

I Use Non-fiction Work Written By Whites In My Research. It's Indispensable. That Wasn't The Problem. I Said That "the Wire" Was A Cliché! It's Like My Writing A Series About Jewish Life And Casting All Of The Characters As Inside Traders.

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.
