My Grandparents redid their kitchen last year and got a new school refrigerator and they still put those old ass magnets back on

Tell me YALL got the closet with the plastic bags from food shopping
Breh, I probably got like 3-4000 plastic bags in my closet right now. I can't throw em away cause i might need em one day
im in cali and we had the candy man. usually dudes that lived real close to schools. parents would drop their kids off at school, then we'd all line up at her house to grab snacks for the dayIf you're from Chicago, who remember having a neighbor that had a candy store in the basement?
I remember when I moved to Cali, like where the candy man at, none of the kids knew what I was talking about.
Remembers, hearing the Ice Cream truck coming from a block-away
...runs to the yard and yell for MoMs to throw down a Dollar
She rolls it up my brother sock, so it can land in precision on the concrete

*IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILD ABUSE FUELING FEAR AND RACISM IN AMERICA?*
With all due respect to my American neighbors of African descent, the oppression of humans that led to racism and slavery has been replaced with a new form of human oppression that impedes and deprives many American children from experiencing a safe, fairly happy American kid childhood.
In his 2015 Grammy award winning Rap Performance titled "I", Kendrick Lamar writes, *"I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent."*
During a January 20, 2011 LAWeekly interview (Google search) Kendrick, born in 1987, the same year songwriter Suzanne Vega wrote a song about child abuse and *VICTIM DENIAL* that was nominated for a Grammy award, he told the interviewer:
*"Lamar's parents moved from Chicago to Compton in 1984 with all of $500 in their pockets. "My mom's one of 13 [THIRTEEN] siblings, and they all got SIX kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton," he says."*
*"I'm 6 years old, seein' my uncles playing with shotguns, sellin' dope in front of the apartment. My moms and pops never said nothing, 'cause they were young and living wild, too. I got about 15 stories like 'Average Joe.'"*
It seems evident to me Kendrick identified the source of his depression, the roots of poverty, the child abuse/maltreatment that prevented him, his brothers, sisters, cousins, neighborhood friends, elementary and JHS classmates from enjoying a fairly happy, safe Average Joe and Josie American kid childhood.
Seems the adults responsible for raising the children in Kendrick's immediate and extended family placed obstacles in their children's way, causing their kids to deal with challenges and stresses young minds are not prepared to deal with...*nor should they or any other children be exposed to and have to deal with.*
It seems evident to me these *PARENTAL INTRODUCED* obstacles and challenges cause some developing children's minds to become tormented and go haywire, not knowing *OR NOT CARING ABOUT* right from wrong...because as the mature, young victims of child abuse realize their parents introduced them to a life of pain and struggle, totally unlike the mostly safe, happy life the media showed them many American kids were enjoying. *RESENTMENT*
I cannot speak for anyone else, but if I was raised in Kendrick's family I would most likely be silently peeved at my parents for being immature irresponsible "living wild" adults who deprived me of experiencing a safe, happy childhood.
Though like many victims of child abuse, most likely I would deny my mom harmed me, instead seeking to vent my anger and frustrations on peaceful people in my community because I cannot admit I am greatly disappointed with my own mother for introducing me to a life of pain and struggle.
I wonder how little Kendrick and his classmates reacted when their elementary school teacher introduced the DARE presenter and they learned about the real dangers of drugs and how they harm people, including their parents?
