For some reason she also believes Hap is black or mixed and is curious as to why it's not an issue for him? I, on the other hand, had no idea Hap was supposed to be black but apparently the writing has alluded to or stated that Hap lives in a black area. I enjoyed watching it play out on Deadwood, The Shield, and The Wire and trust you will handle it as intelligently as those shows did.Ī friend and I were talking about Juice, Hap, and race on Saturday. I don't know how well it will go over with other viewers but I am most certainly anxiously awaiting to see how you deal with the topic of race at the forefront. It doesn't seem to be a priority for a lot of tv and film right now. The depth and weight of this rule varies from club to club and this season we see how it's handled by the Sons of Anarchy.įirstly, I want to say that I enjoy SOA and admire the ways you've tried to include diversity in your cast over the seasons despite the show being about a white MC. To me, that's fascinating and fertile story turf. I can honestly say that none of the guys I know in the life are racist, yet they function within a structure that is built upon a form of segregation. It's a throwback to a different era that is still in practice today. We delve into the delicate why's and how's of this racial bi-law later in the season, but it was one of those odd, historical barriers that I've wanted to explore. That relationship inspired the Grim Bastards in season 3. HA and the East Bay Dragons have been friends for decades. There are black clubs and there are white (Caucasian, Latino, Asian) clubs. The fact is that most of the bigger MC's do not have African American members. We've touched on the issue lightly over the first three seasons of SOA. This is a racial reality in outlaw motorcycle clubs. There seems to be some confusion about Juice's discomfort and fear regarding the discovery of his black father.
