If The Wire came out today, /tvpol/ would dismiss it as woke for having smart black characters and white politicians portrayed as the actual culprits behind street crime.

and?

but the black criminals aren't portrayed more sympathetically than the white politicians behind them. They are petty, unwilling to educate themselves (unless it benefits their crime career) and have a crab-in-bucket mentality towards their own people.
Those looking at the whole picture don't care enough to change their ways and blame whitey for their innate inability to change.
