Breh on twitter is posting news clips from the 80's crack era

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

Sad thing is 30, 40 years later, the same neighborhoods and cities that were under siege are now being gentrified. Same hell holds that were being looked down on at the time by the same middle, upper class folks in their suburbs are now populated with their offspring thinking they're cool living in those same spots. Some of these folks moving into these spots literally mocking that shyt. It's cool for them to emulate the struggle without being in it because they can move back to the burbs when they feel like it. shyt is sickening. Those areas are haunted. Imagine if those psychics performed mediums and the energies they'd feel from all those that died in those areas and we talking about hundreds and thousands of murder victims because of crack and the drug trade. Folks wanna move in to be around that type of haunted energy? That shyt never goes away. shyt never feels right.


Also shows you how the government works. They create those conditions and used that shyt to war with the people. How many black people done got locked up. Crime bills of 1988, mandatory minimums, school zone laws, and etc etc. 40 years later, yall see the opioid shyt.

Crazy u spoke on tha spirit aspects I can't remember what I was watching but a guy was talkin bout all the murders and shyt that occurred in South Central bak in tha day.. And he said one day he was walkin home and it was super late he pressed tha walkin sign to walk across tha street and he saw a low rider full of bullet holes and tha people inside the car had locs on bandanas and shower caps.. Two of tha passengers of tha car were dead and tha other two looked nervous he crossed tha street and turned around to see tha car and it was gone.. shyt sad but ain't to tellin tha kinds of spirits associated with different neighborhoods..

[Waterproof]

80's were

I was born in 77 and I seen how crack and Gangs rocked our community...

Pimps, Gangsta, Hustlers, Playas, The Reverend, The Deacon, Local Sports Athletes, Doctors, Lawyers all rocked Jherri Curls

Hip Hop was what youngins did

 

[Just like bruddas]

The crack era did incomprehensible damage to the black community. A lot of the negative elements within our community can be traced to the crack epidemic. People have understand that it didnt just effect fiends and a few people who lived around it. It had consequential effects on our community as a whole. It took the wind out of us as a people and we are still trying peice together what happened. I fight back tears just thinking about it as a whole.
Things were bad before crack of course. You still had the heroin epidemic, street gangs, and widespread poverty. But crack introduced a whole element of decadence and despair.

The crack babies are adults now and causing issues too. Trying to explain compassion to someone that literally had food taken out their mouths is like talking to a wall.

Crack was known as Free Base, Base Rocks or Hubba Rocks in the 80's

I felt like the heroin epidemic was just as bad and ran concurrent with the crack epidemic.

But the coli told me that violence and serious drug use was a new generation thing

It's truly amazing we was bot totally eradicated by the crack era


I was a super young kid in Brooklyn close to east New York home of the 77th precinct (look it up)


I seen some things but was also shielded from alot


Wow looking at this and looking back



It's amazing how they want us to have compassion for the cacs on opioids

East new york back then..

My late grand uncle and my nanny used to live there back when it was serious like that. My mom to this day wonders why he chose to live and stay there. He had stories for days about east new york and how crazy some of the people were. Some of the things he said had me thinking about the importance of the company you keep or to watch folks around you because they'll get you caught up in some shyt. Folks will act like they got love for you and then set you up in some shyt you have nothing to do with.

Some places just have that bad aura about them because they have blood spilled all over that shyt. I've got that vibe with Newark, bridgeport, brownsville, in Atlanta especially going passed where techwood homes used to be and the westside of Atlanta, west Baltimore. You can feel it. Unsolved murders, horror stories and etc. You got people thinking gentrification can change the history of an area. It doesnt. Folks need to watch and do the research of where they're moving into.

The coli has told a lot of things that are false.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

They get a pass for smoking crack. I know, sounds funny but they do. 3-5 years from then not so much

80s = Worst Post-civil rights decade

Crack era, 80s fashion and hair, Reaganomics, Reagan himself, etc

only glimmer of light from that WOAT decade was the RnB. But thats not enough to make that decade look decent.
