The axe never remembers, the tree never forgets

So TRUE

[@GGEarly]

Well said and very true!

[@babybrown2551]

Trill shit

[@johnarobinson5640]

Well said!😎👍🏽💯

[@geminiqueen3754]

In Haiti we say, "the one who does the hitting always forgets, but the one who carries the scar always remembers."

[@lipservice9818]

Majority of the people who see this probably won't get how vulnerable and real his being in this interview...

[@davidhollenshead4892]

Agreed, if I meet the petty mugger who cut my face, I'd feel a need to apologize for what I did to his privates after he cut me.

[@SuperRealdeal45]

what the fuck you mean vulnerable? this nigga always playing a gay dude cant get more vulnerable than giving up your ass to a man.lol

[@darrylgreene2142]

To actually hear him speak of this and hear the sincerely sincerity in his voice. Is truly amazing

🥺 he said my mother aint raise me to use my hands I don’t really know how to fight .. at the moment I knew micheal was true to himself.. real

[@joshlmccall6294]

That’s what i was saying! Man if that ain’t real sh*t don’t know what else is! Grown behind dude telling the world he can’t fight??? Wow! 🙏🏾😞 (RIP)🌹

To real

[@LayL0w_Dump]

I felt that 💯

[@rommieyay4444]

I was shocked! That's a man who's comfortable with himself. No man is man enough to admit they can't fight, we all front a little lol. I think all the tough roles and personas made him be real with his true self

[@jdagreat4595]

Just goes show u looks be deceiving people see him anhis scares and assume he’s a super hardcore dude

[@joeparagon]

Wow, there's something in Michael's voice that's as real as real can get.

Well he does seem to have a cold

[@beautyinsimplicity3461]

I never heard a black man say he can't fight, that's a real man right there to speak his truth because so many men are taught that fighting means they're tough when it takes a real man to resolve an issue without putting your hands on someone or using a weapon. He's in one of my favorite movies Assassins Creed, RIP.

[@doublecommenter5161]

I think men will say that once they hit that age where they no longer have a reason to fight. (Outside of protection for family or oneself)

[@appetite4chic878]

That’s was very honest. Never heard a man say that before and I respect him for that 💯

[@brooklynred6762]

And what crazy is he’s from my hood in Brooklyn he knows all the ogs out there and they all had love for him so goes to show you just be yourself and you still will be respected

[@y2kraye]

I personally feel like the interviewers couldn’t connect with Michael, but he’s so personable that they still got along well.

[@kenmcdaniel6913]

I got the same immediate feeling.

[@rajhansakima]

It doesn't sound like the hosts were prepared to manage the gravity of what he was sharing. They took the typical route of trying to "lighten the mood" when there was SO much opportunity to give him a platform to help other people heal. :/

[@MacNif]

I agree 100%

[@gjmjajaj]

these dudes are comedians , plus they have a history of being racist check their history.

[@KelticTim]

@@gjmjajaj stfu no they don’t. Stop spreading bullshit. Anyone and everyone gets called racist now a days. Shit, Dems are calling Larry Elder, a black man, a White supremacist. Gtfoh.

[@KelticTim]

It’s a comedy show made by comedians. Ppl tune in to laugh, not get healed, unless it’s thru laughter. Not every show wants to have a social agenda and help ppl. Some shows are as deep as a piece of paper, and that’s a good thing, sometimes ppl just need to shut their brains off and laugh.

[@rajhansakima]

@@KelticTim if that's the case, then it was ridiculous for them to invoke a conversation about how his face got slashed. That's not a laughing matter, nor something that can be touched on briefly.

[@muhammadal-farouq7342]

The fact dude admits his acting roles are not his character is priceless. Most idiots try to live vicariously through their character roles. RIP

[@sibusiso2841]

That's lowkey Drake

[@theaverageguyNo]

Ummmm actually many people act based off their upbringing. So you can't honestly say that most "idiots" are living vicariously. Some may be a lot are the people who they portray in movies.

as far as scars go, that is one of the most badass warrior looking scars in the business. I also understand how it definitely affected his day to day life. Michael K Williams is just great to listen to

[@FineYungCannibal.]

What an amazing guy! Can't believe he's gone. No age. 😔

[@Ytnzy250]

He was 54! Whitney H, George M, Paula Y all took drugs & needlessly gambled with their lives, for what? People can make foolish decisions at any age.

[@plumjade4584]

@B Pope the government #1 drug dealer gets busy to address whites keeling over on the streets from dope what the f you mean!!!!

[@CliffuckingBooth]

Just woke up and found that he is gone. Damn... Rest in peace man.

[@madgemackles4337]

I will forever be upset at him for leaving, not in a selfish way but just upset because he brought such a light to the screen and off the screen

[@Lovely-si6sw]

Every time the camera touched him, he shined.

[@bighomiehydro1422]

Michael Williams is so honest on this interview. I admire that.

[@MrMarkstyles]

I have the utmost respect for this man.. His acting in The Wire was totally brilliant.. And like Seal, he took what would be an extreme detriment, and turned it into a mark of strength of character..

[@robertnesy7850]

Funny thing is, he doesnt even look bad with the scar. It gives him character (stupid as it sounds). Some people can just get away with hit and he's one.

[@rioguttaful]

He missed his eye by a hair 😳

Not stupid at all. Scars are beautiful.

[@jsmotherearth7]

@Guard Passer, I heard him say how thankful he was to Tupac Shakur, he say him and thought his look was great and specifically asked for him to be in a movie. It was said that after that, the offers came rolling in.

The irony is the scar actually makes him look VERY sexy. I get the devastation... And the fact that no one wants such a scar on their face. However, to me, it's been one of those things that lured me too him. Now, the icing on the cake... He's more gentle than he appears or have been portraying himself😍😍😍.. Uhh.

What a great show. the writing, the actors and the creativity of the characters are incredible! There are alot of great characters i like, but by far, Omar is my favorite character on the show.
