As a southern Black woman, I disagree with all the comments about Chalky being ignorant and ashamed of his identity. You missed the whole point of the scene and of Chalky's overall character. Chalky was very smart and knew exactly where he came from. He was proud to be a Black man from Texas. That is precisely what makes his line so powerful. His sense of identity juxtaposed with Narcisse's Pan African identity represents the ideological diversity among Black people in the 20s and 30s (i.e. debates between Du Bois and Garvey and A. Philip Randolph). This scene was brilliant writing.
Im glad you said it. Narcisse’s identity flies over the heads of every white person who comments on his character. Their hate for his character speaks to the reaction of his high browed upper mobility and sense of self that historically triggers white people. Narcisse had contempt for Negros who leaned toward base things as drugs and drink….ironic how they hate him while the rest of the characters are engaging yet gutter minded and uncouth
Great historical analysis….also the push and pull between Chalky’s self concious and embarrassing lack of education and sophistication that Narcisse detects and teases him about
Narcisse: "Do you know your Bible, Mister White?" Chalky: "Better than I know you." Narcisse: "I don't know you at all." Chalky: "See? That wasn't so hard, was it."
@@walterkersting1362 My hunch is that for a black man in the rackets back then, the assumption would be that he was working for someone else rather than running his own business. Chalky calling him Madden's man is (maybe unintentionally) disrespecting him, and Narcisse is correcting him. (Sort of like in another scene, when he and Rothstein agree to go into the heroin business together and Rothstein insists on large bills because Narcisse runs a numbers game, implying that Narcisse is small-time.)
Narcisse composed himself in such a way that he took control of every negotiation or conversation he was involved in. His vocabulary left people perplexed as to what he was really thinking. His only problem was belittling those around him into disliking him fervently. If he would have kept quiet more and let other people talk more he’d come across as less of a pompous prick

I wanted that to, but after rewatching it it would been to predictable thats why richard never became nucky hired killer like everybody wanted after season 3........Boardwalk Empire very underated show
It's fascinating how the series subtly addresses the advent of "Afrocentrist" thought. They already thought they were "the Libyans" although in reality the ancient Libyans were Berbers, the Moors were Berbers, the African Americans do not have the slightest kinship with these peoples of North Africa who are actually the current Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt
Actually the ones you cited were the invaders who supplanted those lands and became the dominant inhabitants of that area. It’s no different than when the Europeans invaded in America and took it from the Indigenous people.
Well I can tell you over indulged in Western and European history. I highly doubt you even know of the book The Destruction of the Black Civilization by Dr. Chancellor Williams......
Jeffery Wright would've fit right in with Deadwood. And his character Dr. Narcisse would've been a worthy opponent for any and every cutthroat that show had to offer during its short run. You heard what I said Al.
he would have had the hoopleheads eating out of his mouth. But that was the late 1800s in the middle of nowhere - this is NYC and NJ in the 1920s. If someone like Narcisse really showed up in deadwood he'd probably be killed pretty quickly.
Everything about this villain was perfectly done: the concept, the writing and the acting. My only beef is his demise. It was gratuitous. He deserved better as such a complicated villain.
His death was no different from any other gangster in the series, and not one of them deserved better. Getting shot in the gut and the head is a relatively mild way to go.
@@legion999 Compare his death to, let's say, Richard Harrow's death. There was a lot more thought put into it. Same with Jimmy Darmody. How about Chalky White? His death was built up with storyline--and storyline that went back to the previous season. Events leading up to their deaths, and the deaths themselves, were much better planned and written for. I am looking at this series as a story. As such, it is expected to be more than just a police blotter. Personally, I feel the whole last season was done in a perfunctory manner. They set up Narcisse's fate, beautifully, at the end of the previous season. And yet they glossed over it in order to finish the season earlier. It was as though they were intentionally hurrying the demise of the series, which is something that many of us Boardwalk fans resented.
As Hoover would say to Narcisse in Farewell Daddy Blues, "you're just a peddler and a pimp." With all his pinup verses and sermons, he makes himself out to be a prophet or a dude with a dictionary, as Chalky describes him to be. Yet, the Doc's primary agenda is to motivate himself into the thrill of demeaning people to his level.
"I'm from Texas." One is actually an American, in his heart, and the other is stuck way far in a past that has no actual connection to him. Similar to when the Sopranos crew visit Italy only to find they are completely worlds apart from actual Italians. This is one of those things that people need to realize about the whole "native" and "immigrant" argument. No, we are not all immigrants. Some of us actually do come from certain places, and others do not. It's neither better, nor worse, it is simply a fact. Know where you really come from, who is really imporant in your life, and what you really want to achieve before you saunter off the coil.
I thought the show went downhill here it made no sense why nucky didn't just let chalky kill narcisse or do it himself. It's hard to believe nucky hadn't learned to kill any outsider pushing in right off the bat at this point
That's why people like you shouldn't be allowed with any important devices. if you watched the chain of events in the show you'd know exactly why it would be foolish for nucky to get into that
Couldn't agree with you more. It pissed me off how Narcisse survived to the very end. Same with Phil Leotardo in the Sopranos, he was insufferable as well, yet he ended up lasting until the very end.
BH is probably the only show that has ever truly done justice to the black underworld during the heyday of "gangsters" in America. They were around as long as any others.
True anytime we think of Gangs back then it's always Italians, but every race had their turn and boardwalk kinda showed that. Jews with manny and Rothstein, and Irish with Nucky. As with history everyone's turn eventually came to a end with the next minority taking power

Ancient Berbers are black people. Dr Narcisse is talking about the Hamitic tribe of the Lubim. Narcisse knows his Moorish history unlike Chalky White. Chalky is of the Kingdoms of Fez and Morocco in the American Levant unbeknownst to himself which would make him a negro/black/displaced person.
@@AtmaureanNoble7 You make me laugh so much Afrocentrists, Ancient Libyans were Berbers (White and Arab people ethnically) North Africa has absolutely nothing to do with sub-Saharan Africa where African Americans come from, your ancestors it is the West African countries, Togo, Cameroon, Cogo, Ivory Coast but certainly not North Africa which belong to a completely different civilization.

It is part of the Dr.Narcisse character.
+Knight Heaven That's not Pan-Africanism and whoever told you that is a jackass. Pan-Africanism is the sense that all people descendant of Africa are one nation particularly since other races view us as such. It also calls for self-determinism for African people.
As much as I hated Narcisse you have to admit he had courage and was never ashamed of being "colored". Later when he takes over the club we see him sitting in the white section much to the dismay of them.
Narcisse pushes heroin on the "Libyan" people, HIS people, he's a fake and a con artist like his decendants, Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters. Behind the manners, education, he's a punk thug. Chalky White sees right through his genteel hypocrisy and Narcisse hates him for it

Ay look it's "Dr narsissy"
As much as I hated Narcisse you have to admit he had courage and was never ashamed of being "colored". Later when he takes over the club we see him sitting in the white section much to the dismay of them.
I was glad when the mob donE Narcisse in, I really don’t like him.
Narcisse: You are far from home. From your broad features, Senegambia or Luangwa.
Narcisse is the Libyan man
Narcisse pushes heroin on the "Libyan" people, HIS people, he's a fake and a con artist like his decendants, Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters.
Behind the manners, education, he's a punk thug.
