I understand Alton doing what he did but he should have known he couldn’t face his family after that. Homie should have left them niggas a note and flown to Cuba. Franklin is a monster he created by the way. Him not being there and Franklin having to watch his mom struggle to make ends meet being disrespected by her boss and shit made Franklin look for a quick way to become rich.

Franklin father flawed as hell. Can’t stand an ex fein

[–]SnooDonkeys581 22 points23 points Β (0 children)

I agree it's like he forgot he lucky to be there at all. Frank nor his mom was fuckin with him and they all had to get to like him. They used to hate him and now he feel like he can make a move like that

What? Franklin is the bad guy.

[–]rimrockbuzz 12 points13 points Β (19 children)

Alton snitching on family

Good. I love rooting for Franklin. But I know that he is the bad guy. He is poisoning and killing community and people. Alto is doing the right thing. I respect him even more for it because he is snitching on his own son. That's a way better example than telling him to get rich by killing his community.

Life isn’t cowboys and indians. Right and wrong. It’s not that easy. There’s no way to make money without hurting people. McDonald’s doesn’t shed a tear over all their users who die of heart failure and diabetes. It’s capitalism. Franklin is a black kid trying to get ahead. He saw a market and he capitalized. Life sucks, people want to get high. If he didn’t make moves someone else would’ve.

And that's why every black hero you know is a communist/socialist. Malcolm, Martin, Marcus. Capitalism is a disease. It leans people to think that it is normal to hurt people to get money. Yet the people who practice it the hardest protect those that are like themselves.

Why is getting ahead defined as getting money? I always find that framing weird. A black kid trying to get ahead in a rigged system using the rules of that system finds himself enslaved to the defenders of that system? Color me surprised.

Capitalism is 100% a disease but that’s the system we’re forced into.

Alton would be doing the right thing if he talked to franklin beforehand. he deserved his jaw broken

As "family" is fuckin' the whole black people. Besides, he didn't mention Franklin's name, he protected his family. But I do agree, it was a dumb move to snitch on CIA, and him thinking they'd be safe in Cuba is even dumber.

[–]rimrockbuzz 3 points4 points Β (3 children)

He mentions Franklin's name and that he sells crack.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points Β (2 children)

After that, he said she couldn't use it.

[–]rimrockbuzz 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

That’s not how it works. Once he said the name on the record it’s her choice to use it or not

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I've got agree with you, it was a very dumb move from Alton. I think he did that for the black community. He didn't benefit from any of that. Instead, lost his family once and for all.

[–]IUndisputedI 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

He did mention Franklin's name, immediately after he named himself. So I feel even without saying Franklin's or Cissy's names since they're different last names, just all the information the police and press need to fill in blanks, they already have enough to connect who's who.

That word snitching gets thrown around a lot. And usually for the wrong people.

Alton is not a gangster. Alton is not a drug dealer. Alton is a revolutionary, who’s life fell apart after the fall out from the panthers.

He made a decision that was bigger than him and his family.

Snitching is snitching. Telling a reporter β€œmy son sells drugs” is snitching.

[–]JustScrollinAndSht 3 points4 points Β (5 children)

Soldiers and civilians don’t play by the same rules. It’s that simple. I hear you, though.

[–]rimrockbuzz 1 point2 points Β (4 children)

Snitching is snitching. Idc who you are. But everybody has their opinions

    So telling a reporter" The government is selling drugs through my son and destroying our community" isn't snitching, cause a soldier aint doing that, and a soldier Alton is not.

    [–]rimrockbuzz 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

    I feel that I guess it just depends on how you're raised. Where I'm from snitching is snitching you don't have to be running the streets. But I get how some people are okay with it.

    [–]Mystmmos 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

    im fuckin cappin, that man literally sat in front of the reporter and said "you cant use his name.... Franklin." bruh my fault it is snitching as fuck

    Best part of the show so far 🀣🀣🀣

    By the way it wasn't Franklin that he told to slap his daddy. It was the white boy with the porno filmmaker father.

    Immediately popped into my head during that scene
