The point I'm trying to make is that American history, Black American history, is finally being properly taught - through our televisions. "Infiltrated y'all," Franklin interjects. "'65 to '70, wasn't no Black gangs in L.A. Knees pushes on, responding simply with a, "Youngblood needs context." I agree. By the end of the '60s whitey had flown away, and the hood was ours." At this point Jerome protests, wanting Knees to get to the point. Back then, we had clubs to protect the neighborhood from the spook hunters - bunch of crazy ass crackers tryin'a kill us.
"In the fifties we had clubs, not gangs, like the crazy kids nowadays. In episode six of season one, "A Long Time Coming," Jerome is refusing Franklin's offer to join him in the coke game, and, when pressed about why, takes Frank to see a friend named "Knees." Knees (Bokeem Woodbine) then starts to give Franklin a little bit of a history lesson. Now, just to make my initial point, let's go back to the beginning. "Moving cocaine to fund that war in Nicaragua." Reed Thompson, of course, is the undercover C.I.A. the supplier), for all the cocaine Franklin's pumping into the streets - mainly as a way to fund Uncle Sam's war in Nicaragua.įranklin's Aunt Louie (Angela Lewis) even says as much to Franklin's Uncle Jerome (Amin Joseph), when revealing all this to him in a recent episode. Meanwhile, via their field agent, Teddy (Carter Hudson), the C.I.A. He loses a person or two, gains a ton of enemies and even gets shot in the back, literally (in season three). Over the last three seasons, we've seen Franklin go from being green to earning copious amounts of it, especially after he comes to terms with the necessity/effectiveness of pulling a trigger himself every once in a while.
UNCLE JEROME SNOWFALL CRACK
Quick refresher: Created by the late John Singleton and taking place during pop culture's favorite decade, the '80s, Snowfall stars Damson Idris (above) as Franklin Saint, an intelligent young man who, in an effort to improve life for himself and his kinfolk, starts selling drugs and becomes one of the biggest crack dealers in all of South Central.
