Why did Dukie fuck his life up? Was the social commentary supposed to be a critique on the concept of “social promotion” in inner city schools?
Was Michael gay for Duke?
>>219541643Yea
>ghostly echoes heard in the distance>ᴾᵃnᵈᵉᵐᶦᶜ… ᵍᵒᵗ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᴾᵃnᵈᵉᵐᶦᶜ
>>219541643Nah
>>219542473>AYO THERE'S A SQUIGGLY NIGGA BACK HERE
>>219541440The point likely trying to be made was "this kid had potential but he was fucked by the system more money fo dem programs" but the actual point they made was "there was exactly one kid that made it out and the only reason he did was blind fucking luck."
>>219542796I don’t understand why they thought it was a good idea to just bump the kids up to highschool in the middle of the school year
>>219541440It was a realistic portrayal of black communities not being able to create an environment where an intelligent individual can thrive.
>>219543201The ytppo running them schools doe
>>219543201Black communities are the biggest buckets of crabs on Earth.
>>219544728Boondocks said it best
>>219544728Their new meta is blaming the heckin CIA for their inability to build functioning communities
>>219544987What's their excuse for African countries' inability to do it under their own governance? CIA too?
>>219545029European CIA
>>219545029They literally do. Any time an African (or African-American) leader might implement policies that could advance the country, they get the boot or they get the rope.
>>219543024the entire us public school system does stuff like this all the time. problematic nigger children can’t be fixed, because their problem is that they are being raised by niggers, so schools just shuffle them around. sometimes they decide that the best thing to do is send to a school in a nice white area, which literally never works, but we keep on doing it.
>>219542473it's good to see /tv/ still hasn't lost its ways
>>219545029it is always white peoples fault. i recently read an article by some african woman who was complaining that mr beast building wells in africa was preventing africans from being entrepreneurs and building wells for themselves. she then went on to say that if mr beast wanted to help, he should just give them money so they could build the wells.
>>219541440I found myself asking that very same question many times.Seemed like an intelligent kid, didn't seem as sucked into a need to prove himself like many other young guys in the show were.Naymond I guess had his rock bottom moment where he was willing to set aside the front and reach out for help. Dukie kind of tried to do that with Cutty, but didn't stick with it.He flat out just tried to scam Presbo. He had the right idea to do the cold canvasing to find a job, and should have kept with it.Dukie and Randy are frustrating characters for me; though with Randy he made one fatal mistake and it just escalated, getting worse and worse with no relief.But I think the show did a good job at accurately portraying how real life works that way.
>>219545761> mr beast building wells in africa was preventing africans from being entrepreneurs and building wells for themselvesThey have a point. The NGOs providing food has created a huge population spike that will fuck the whole world in 30 years. And the clothing charities have absolutely decimated any reason to produce textiles locally. White guilt has ruined the natural controls on the existence of niggers
>>219545761Yeh why not? That's worked out so well in the past.Honestly I think we should just stop fooling ourselves and let the oil and mining companies do what they need to do.
>>219546008>He had the right idea to do the cold canvasing to find a job, and should have kept with it.Now that I think about it, Namond was really his best option to get him set up with some kind of adult assistance since Michael wouldn’t ever suggest he go to Cutty, but Namond was also the guy that constantly shit on him so Duke was kinda fucked
Which of the many wires featured in The Wire was the wire that the title referred to? And what kind of wire was it? Copper, probably?
>>219546030Wow it's almost like it was a calculated attempt to ensure western economic dominance. But all it was was 'white guilt' huh?
>>219547993nog, they were never gonna be competition. China’s Belt and Road initiative is actually what you’re talking about
>>219546324I can see Namond with his reformed mindset maybe doing something within his means to help out Dukie.But Dukie understandably wouldn't see a friend in Namond. Dukes just seemed to lack the ability to commit and see things through, which makes sense as he's evidently and understandably a guy with low self esteem.From beginning to end of his story as a character, lived a pretty miserable, hopeless life. Sad to think that living with Michael and Bug, finding some belonging with the rest of the lads and Mr Presbo was actually the best he ever had it.His family didn't give a fuck about him.One of many reasons why I honestly think thr Wire is sone of the best writing in TV ever. Its deep.
>>219548127They weren't concerned about competition, they were concerned about controlling the third world so that they can get their resources as cheaply as possible, and that's what they got. Any possible competition in these areas (meaning anywhere that takes the first few steps that could result in a possible competitor in a century) just gets bombed or couped.
>>219548355Why not just do it publicly like China? I mean obviously some of what you’re saying happens at higher levels, but most of those actually involved in aid are true believers and the donations they receive toward that effect are from guilty white liberals.
>>219542796>kids with potential end up totally fucked >the worst kid gets a good life It’s all just luck of the draw.
>>219548768Namond had potential. Weebay was probably the highest IQ homeboy in the series
>>219549011He shows less intelligence and moral character than the other kids who end up living terrible lives. His defining characteristic is being a little shit. Of course, being a little shit is also due to his upbringing until that point, and a stable household with upstanding caregivers is all it takes to turn his life around. But it’s definitely meant to hurt that the shittiest kid makes it, while the best kid gets the worst end.
>>219541440Is it just my luck that i lurk this shithole for nigh on 14 years and when i finally watch this show there are no threads to be seen anywhere?
>>219549577You’re supposed to make one when that happens
>>219549659I’ll do that after the 2nd watch.
>>219549577You’re in one.
i to am in this episode
>>219549969>i to amam to, are thee?
>>219547993See that's the pathetic part of it. You don't think other races were seething over white's success? They absolutely hated whitey but whites still persevered because we are simply better. Get it through your thick black skull, whites excel in whatever category compared to negroes.
>>219551302I’m white but they run faster and jump higher than I
>>219551344Things that actually matter obviously.
>>219551383It would matter if we had to outrun something
>>219549226This is the room of a stealth nerd
>>219553896Did everyone have that lamp or just me?
>>219548197>Dukes just seemed to lack the ability to commit and see things throughKilling hope in another is amongst the most heinous transgressions one could commit. Duke has no reason or examples to put stock into hope.
