You coming up on your 15 year anniversary on this site, bruh. You should know....
Godfather of Harlem (Forest Whitaker)discussion
Dude who plays Malcolm X is killing it... I'd love to see him do a story in Malcolm's life...either the early years or middle years..
The most frustrating thing about shows like these is that we're not watching Black gangster vs white gangster... we're watching Black gangster vs white supremacy...when gigante was hitting bumpy with that "I'm above you" speech that was what he was referring to. Even though bumpy is as smart and ruthless as any of those guineas...at the of the day he's not just fighting them he's fighting a whole system.
Same deal for Warrior Bruce Lee's show...the Chinese may be organised and kill with the best of them... doesn't matter...it's Whitey's country....
We've seen this before in boardwalk empire and chalky white...
Let any one of them walk one block away from their turf and they're just another nigga or chink
that ANY cac can throw in jail.
That's what's knawing at me watching the show.

History says, Joe Bonanno about to get missing soon, right after, Malcolm gets killed, I wonder how they dramatize all of this.
That white bitch ain't got shit on Mayme Johnson's tall, sexy ass.

Let him join Zambrano!This slimy fucker needs to die slow!! I'm sick of his shit!
dam ..tuff ep to watch ....
so much to unpack ...gotta go to the discussion thread to read some of the reactions..
dude playing Malcolm need an Emmy ...
even the congressman killing it ...that disguise ...
That disguise had me rolling!... Bumping killing that assassin was dope... His poor wife was at the theater looking around distraught
when ol boy straightened his wig....
we need a gif...lolbut yeah tht was a dope sequence ...made it look realistic ...his daughter had to come save him ...
he aint out here murking trained assassins at 60 ...lol...how old was he in this time period anyway ...?
I've been trying to figure out his age. I have no idea.
let me wiki it...i`ll do the math ...cuz JFK jus got killed so we know the yr ...jus gotta c when he was born...
EDIT ...ok he was 58 ...
Bumpy Johnson's final stint in jail was a 10-year stretch, for conspiracy and sale of narcotics, which eventually landed him in Alcatraz. He got out in 1963 at age 56
Rise & fall of the Harlem kingpin who took on the mafia — and won
He was the ‘Godfather of Harlem’

unless his wiki wrong...say he was born in 1905 ...tht would make him 58 right ...?
Mr. "Geechiedan," I feel your pain, and I agree with you about Bumpy fighting against white supremacy also. However, it is nice to see him get a few wins and I don't think he is "as smart," as them, I would say he is smarter!
He should have killed him when he had the chance instead of just pistol whipping him.
to his credit tho the cac came to warn him not to kill him ...
the other made dude followed him n killed him cuz he culd tell after they last talked his ass was weak n wasnt gonna kill Teddy ...
but always happens like that dude had plane tickets ready to go ....

gotta stop here, you cats is ahead of me ..... shyt is fiya .....
I don't know if I'm buying that. I believe the young mafia dude told the older mafia guy to shoot Teddy while he was trying to warn them so it would look like he was trying to do the right thing but Teddy died anyway. That way the girl wouldn't blame him and he would still have a chance with her. He planned it to accomplish two things that would have been impossible otherwise. Kill Teddy AND get the girl. Hell, actually three things! This way also allowed Chin to keep his promise to his daughter as well and still get Teddy killed.

That's exactly what I was thinking too when I saw it...They plotted that whole scenario to play out just like that.
Mutually Assured Destruction
some Cold War shit!
some Cold War shit!
Just finished watching the series and this is what Power wished it could’ve been. No disrespect to Denzel, but Nigel Thatch portrayal of Malcolm X is so much better... #facts
He never had a chance with her... Chin said these keywords “She has to love you back” IMO that’s why Chin stayed out of it.
dam found out she was fucking the boxer then she check mate his ass with..."but u still fucking the white ho ..." lol
still would have been a hard pill to swallow...
he killing this role.... dude steal every scene ...i look fwd to scenes with him n Esta James...
"Black is beautiful baby ...its pretty ... "
he said fuck them white ho`s....we got baskin robins in our own race ....
RIP Marcus ...RIP Clayton
IMO the 3 best roles being played on the show... Chins character, Malcolm X and Clayton Powell
When does Season 2 begin?
