The wire is art. I don’t have enough superlatives for it. I’m only sad that something so good and timeless will portray black people so poorly. I don’t mean the art portraying them poorly, I mean their literal state of being.

Surely that's part of its power though? The real-life facts of that existence are tragic of course, but shining a light on the issues is surely a positive thing.

Yeah it’s positive if it leads to change that helps the situation. But I’m also an advocate of forget to move on and beautiful art like that doesn’t let you forget.
