are we 80s babies crack babies?

[ROBEEZYKILLA]

i saw that documentary not too long ago about the crack epidemic and it got me thinking...if that shyt was everywhere and everybody was doing it(everybody's parents), does that mean it affected this new generation? is that why theres more ignorance in this country than ever before? i was born in 87 by the way

What you think? Crack, if anything made young folk of today distracted.

i'm pretty sure my father didn't do crack but i know he's probably done cocaine because my mother told me he use to go to studio 54 sometimes before any of my siblings or myself was born. it's funny, now that i think about it, my father has tried to hide a lot of his past life from us. he's nothing like how he use to be but i'm almost a reflection of him in a good amount of ways, except i haven't done cocaine

A lot of us are. I fortunatly ain't 1 tho. But a lot of nyggaz I know are.. I'm not proud to admit it, but like a lot of kids in the 80s, I grew up in a traphouse/crack house. I've personally seen the effects of what crack does on infants. Its some fucced up shhyt. Babies crying uncontrolably for hours, havin the shakes, learning disabilities, deformaties, and not to mention crack babies are born chemically dependent of cocaine..millions of families have been split up/ negatively effected because of the crack epidemic. I could talk all day about the crazy crack epidemic of the 80s & 90s. Shiyyt was all bad

86' - 88' was the era of the crack baby, neither one of my parents was on drugs but kids like me still had to grow up wit the crack babies, my childhood best friend's mom was on it and i remember walkin wit him to the different dope spots around the hood lookin for her. I grew up wit a bunch of crack babies, it was nothin for me to listen to cousins crack jokes about what the other's moms is out doin for crack

Mainstream ideas about "crack babies" aren't actually true. The idea that crack/cocaine usage by a pregnant woman has a dramatic effect on infants is wrong.

People who use crack tend to engage in other behaviors that are harmful to unborn children (improper diet, not getting prenatal care, etc).

Most people exposed to crack or cocaine when they are in the womb don't have disabilities due to that exposure alone.
