Franklin is the LITERAL SOURCE OF BLACK PEOPLE BEING HOOKED ON CRACK on this show
His damn father told him to HIS FACE "you're KILLING and POISONING BLACK PEOPLE" and then Franklin pistol whipped him
You're literally seeing the effects it's having on other people on the show

.
And it's why I can't fukk with this Breaking Bad style Franklin vs Teddy storyline.
They are both despicable and agents in poisoning the black community which was Singleton's point.
It should never have devolved to taking sides or who was right/wrong between them. You should want a bad fate for both of them.
