Black folks acted older at a younger age back then. You didn't have delayed childhoods.

 

[Jahbarri]

James from Good Times was only 7 years older than his son JJ

[Rell84shots]

One of the most horrific deaths. Plane crash, drowning, and being strapped into your seat the entire time.

 

[richaveli83]

Yeah folks in general, black people in particular, looked older than their age 40+ years ago.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Jazzy Pha's pops was also a member of Otis Redding's band and he was supposed to be on the flight that Otis and the rest of his band died on, except they always alternated one member of the band that would have to find another way to get to the location due to limited space on the plane. That just so happened to be his turn to drive (or catch a different flight, I don't remember).

They called him to identify the bodies

Just think, if he had been on that flight, we never would have gotten introduced to Ciara
