Anwan “Big G” Glover, also known as Slim Charles

Anwan “Big G” Glover, also known as Slim Charles of ‘The Wire’.

The Post’s weekend poll on the state of the ongoing mayoral campaign further exposed the longstanding racial divide between supporters of Mayor Adrian Fenty and D.C. Council Chair Vince Gray. According to the poll, Fenty leads Gray 64 to 28 amongst white voters, while Gray takes 64 percent of African Americans to only 19 percent for Fenty. Needless to say, white folks tend to prefer Fenty.

And, as we’ve long known, white folks also like “The Wire.” One event this weekend saw the two — Fenty and The Wire — come together.

On Sunday, Anwan “Big G” Glover, a D.C. local better known to fans of the acclaimed HBO show as Slim Charles, openly accused Gray of costing him his job at a local radio station. According to the Post, which attended the press conference, Glover claims that Gray called WKYS (93.9 FM) to complain about the actors’ open support for Fenty, leading station management to take him off the air. (Glover is also the lead singer of the go-go group The Backyard Band, which has supplied music on pro-Fenty tracks.) Of course, the Gray campaign vehemently rejected the charge, arguing that a man who just last week admitted to loving “Sex and the City” wasn’t likely to know who Glover was, or feel inclined to do anything to get him fired.
