The Plays Raise Issues That Are Ignored

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.

I Have T.v. On All The Time When I'm Writing. I Have Music On. I'm Engaged With The World.

I Think Black Intellectuals See Too Deeply. That's The Problem. It's A Cause Of Anxiety, Because We See Things Differently.

I'm Sure That You Could Go Back And Make A Graph Showing That All The Killings Of Black Males Increased In Times Of Economic Difficulty. As A Matter Of Fact, A Black Man Was Lynched Last Year.

I Try To Do What Has Never Been Done Before.
