YOU WANT IT TO BE ONE WAY BUT ITS THE OTHER WAY...

The Wire is widely considered to be the blueprint of a post-racial TV show. It features more
Black characters than any other US TV show has ever done before. African Americans are depicted
in all possible positions of social and professional hierarchies. However  the show maintains
some of the stereotypical depictions of African Americans that have been prevalent throughout
the history of film and television as well as the history of the US. With a close look on the
history of Black representation in the United States and the stereotypes used in 20th century
film and television  Eike Rüdebusch analyzes The Wire with regard to social as well as media
stereotypes of African Americans. Thereby he shows the changes in African American
representation on The Wire  but also that The Wire is not deserving of such idealistic
post-race praises.
