they watching from heaven like

How do you know they are not looking at a different time period? shyt 100 million years could have went by

It almost scares the day lights out of me knowing that 100 years from now...someone will be looking at our photos and thinking the same way that we are thinking now.

"They have a bunch of tattoos, the women wearing all types of clothing including the whites. Mixtapes instead of albums.. iPhones. Facebook??? What the hell was going on in 2010-2018. They voted for a president that blamed Russia for a school shooting and we had a president that was half white half Black and didn't do shyt for black people "

Personal life got in the way but I'll get back to it soon though

I hope so your vintage black American threads are classics man.

whats really impressive is these people JUST came out of slavery and had better economic neighborhoods than whites in a lot of places could you imagine where the black community would be right now if those race riots and economic sabotage didn't happen??

Life would be a lot different today. Imagine the wealth our parents would have. I bet we wouldn't hear the shyt we hear now on Fox News or even a Fox News. " get over slavery? I don't think you should be saying something like that to the African American community... I've heard people have gone missing. "

I always wonder why these pics always have some random white people in it. Like are they Italians, polish, or some Irish?

I'm gonna assume it's the one drop rule thing they probably have a high percentage of black blood and were considered black (or maybe some cacs were just hanging around )

Hmm...I don't know about that. Go read some narratives of former slaves

Read a couple to make your blood boil. Read one from a slave that was from Georgia that had to make his way up to Ohio. White People were fukking sick. He told the story on how he was a kid. He had a fever crying on the floor non of the adults could do anything cause they were in fear of being whipped or killed. Lil boy was crying cause they sold his mom off and he saw his dad get his ear cut off and killed for protecting his mom. Cac was taunting the child saying the "little ****** will get over it." I swear god ain't real sometimes about how we as a race suffer.

People dressed sharper back then yo

I mean that is how they dressed across all groups. Today we wear light clothes. Can't imagine wearing all those heavy ass coats in Florida

I wonder how those "Catch Me Outside" white bytches looked like too. Wonder if they had hood people in that time also?
