Wonder if she asked, "How my hair look, Mike?" before that perp walk. Imagine the comments on the People article got a little racial, as they were suspended by the site.
There were so many great actors in that show.
I wish they were all starring in movies, theater, tv somewhere.
But the acting world has a limited number of slots for Black actors.
She was an untrained actor, who was so riveting in Wire, but had very limited chances in ever landing another role.
They should have made a show where Snoop was the hard edge substitute teacher from the streets and Bob Euecker was the straight edge, by the books principal.

I, for one, do not qualify as a peer to Felicia Pearson. The opportunities and experiences of her life do not correspond in any way with my own, and her America is different from my own. I am therefore ill-equipped to be her judge in this matter."
I'm sure Saba and other law-minded Stutteurs will shit on this statement, but I'd never fully thought through the "jury of peers" segment.

That would have been great.
if we learned anything from watching the wire, they are just making a show of it. (I hope anyways)
I'd never really thought about it this way:

Sad it had to go down like that.
