I like the Sopranos as television, but not the characters as people. I don't know of a single Sopranos fan who sees them as positive or noble. I'm sure such silly people exist, but of course the same could be said of people who lionize fictional black criminals too.

And what does rap have to do with crime drama? They are not connected at all. People who like the Sopranos may or may not like rap and vice versa. The same blissninnies who complain about violence in rap music (I just complain about the "music" personally) are the same people who complain about the violence and supposed satanism in lily-white heavy metal. PMRC predates 50Cent's birth let alone his music. Again name me a group of people who complain about black violence on TV but not white violence. The uptight people who think that anyone watching a black gangland figure shoot an informant will automatically shoot someone themselves are saying exactly the same thing about the Sopranos.
