Series logline:?Set across the NYC Blackout of ?77, a reformed ex-con temporarily returns to his old life of drug dealing to pay for his mother?s hospital bill, but soon learns the game has changed and the players, old and new, are more ruthless than before.
thedarkhorse: It occurs to me that it might make for a stronger emotional justification for the decision to resume drug dealing if it's the protagonist's wife , or better yet, his child, who urgently needs the expensive cancer treatment. fwiw

What good will come of her discovering the ID of the father? (I’m guessing he’s a prominent White)
Sad to say, it was SOP during the slavery period for White? men to rape Black women.? Either in singular deeds or serially by taking them as concubines.? Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States, author of the Declaration of Independence, fathered 5 children by his slave Sally Jennings.? You can’t conjure up a more prominent figure? or scandal-worthy situation than that.
Jefferson got away with it.? His relationship with her was never exposed in his lifetime (although there were rumors printed in the Northern opposition press).? And if his relationship had been exposed, he would have been embarrassed? — but not punished.? It was not a crime; rather it was a common practice not be talked about in polite company. Slaves were treated as property, not as people ; they had no right? to the “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? Jefferson proclaimed in the Declaration.
