Why did HBO push the trope that black guys play chess and are master strategists? The Wire pushed this angle hard as well. I never met one when I was in the military, and none of the grand chess masters are black guys? What gives, what did I miss?

I'd explain it to you but it would be pointless because any answer I give you are just going to use your mental gymnastics to refute the answer using twisted Any Forums logic so it fits your narrative.
Lincoln Bennett
Please explain, I'm curious
Easton Williams
Answer the question instead of wasting everybody's time.
Lucas James
You've missed the point entirely.
Jack Watson
dem streetz be nowin thangz
Gabriel Allen
Let me guess. Something something engineering society for the betterment of society? Some other circular justification maybe?
I don't want to be accused of using twisted sinister Any Forums logic.
Noah White
t. That one weirdo from supply who radiated racist vibes and acted personally offended during EO and insider threat training
We all knew what you were, nigga
Brayden Thompson
Fresh came out in 1996
Luke Diaz
The black detective in Taken 3 had a chess piece with him at all times.
That was fucking ridiculous. It's also ironically racist.
They think niggers need a chess piece to look smart.

The point of that scene is to show that Jackie Jr is so fucking stupid he gets outplayed by a nine year old black girl at chess
Way to miss the point, fuckwit
Blake Martinez
Black guys in the 90s loved chess. Especially RZA type black guys.
Matthew James
it's called propaganda user
Hunter Roberts
Go on, I will bite. I am not on pol, I won't be an asshole.
Parker Scott
No, I get it. Jackie Jr. had no patience foresight or intelligence. He didn't see it through or bother to learn from his mistakes. I am asking another question entirely you pretentious fuckhead. Answer the question or go away.

This they tried the same thing with spelling bee's years later

Chess is so simple even black people can be good at it, look at Chess hustlers. Chess is a meme.
Angel Sanders
No idea. That's what made me never give the wire a minute of my time. Saw some ignorant crack slinging baboons having a deep and philosophical conversation over a game of chess.
Literally laughing my fucking ass off.

There's one park in Harlem where a bunch of blacks play chess. White liberal New Yorkers saw it and jizzed all over themselves at the sight of blacks doing something that takes a modicum of intelligence and turned it into a meme that won't die.
Dylan Richardson
I remember playing chess with black kids in elementary school and they'd always try to play this bizarre version. Like they'd set up the pieces spaced out in 3 rows with the king in front. I'd chalk it up to just being dumb if it was just one of them, but they all tried to play like that.
Grayson Carter
This, playing chess is/was seen as a sign of intelligence. That doesn't mean they were good at it or knew shit about it, but the mere act of playing it was seen as a way of communicating to those around them that "I BE SMART N' SHEEIT".
Nowadays that'll get you a beat down because "U B TRYNA B A WYTEBOI HUH? UNCLE TOM HONKEY LOVIN ASS"
Dylan Flores
How can niggers play chess bros I'm going craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.
Also in the wire scene, they didnt know how to play chess. They were playing checkers on a chess board. D'angelo corrected them.
