Television and movies are the main source to draw from when talking about black people.

black community fell off culturally when we started jacking white people's rock n roll fashion and decided that putting autotune on every track was a good idea

Culturally, not socially or economically. That’s why I made the distinction.

this is a different statement from the OP that I absolutely agree with

I would even say it trickled slightly into the early 90s

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

90s was blacker

African medallions
African garments
Positive music
Unity being promoted

It was beautiful back in the 80s..

Then like you said, it trickled into the 90s.. Then something happened..
What actually happened is whats up for debate..

We had Jodeci R. Kelly Def Comedy Jam all of the Tv show. I hate black movies after 95 ima be honest.

yep...I remember as a teen going to packed churches/auditoriums to hear john henrik clarke speak...ivan van sertima...heard leonard jeffries speak a few times...black consciousness/empowerment was actually cool and not looked at as “militant”...even attended the mosque up in harlem for a few years...again packed out to see khalid muhammad

I absolutely remember the leather medallions...and the music again made it cool to be a black and intellectual...by the mid-90s it all seemed like a “fad/phase” that had passed tho
