For sure.
The 80’s were a waaaay worse time for the black community as a whole.

He is wrong . Not even arguable. .People in the 70s 80s 90s had it easier with housing .This my uncle told me the same thing I was like yall had shyt easy you had jobs and atleast housing was easier. My uncle hit me with the

Y’all complain too much and stuck on bullshyt there should be more milllonaires with all the shyt you have and the knowledge you can get at your fingertips.
I was like you know what this old muthafukka ain’t wrong.
Housing went up like 13 x 15 times the cost compared to actual wage growth.
My pops with a second grade education bought a house in Los Angeles off a lil more than min wage salary . Paid like 15k for a house .
We've talked about this and he says yeah if he was young at this age he wouldn't have been able to buy a house at his wage .
Tech is cool but doesn't necessarily mean everything is better
Newer gens don't have as much as wealth and are much poorer compared to they parents. It's been documented
Way fewer of them can actually afford a house

I got concepts of a plan.
You’re on the right side of the dirt, healthy enough to post on a forum, have sunshine every day, food, water, shelter, a roof above your head and the opportunity to be whatever you want to be.
Is everything easy or guaranteed? No.
But you live in a golden time of opportunity where a man can go from poor to rich on a computer with little to nothing else.
If you’d rather focus on the negatives, I won’t try to stop you, but if I’m being honest, it comes off as ungrateful and a little bytchy.
But I’m not judging.
I just don’t see the point in complaining when you’re in control.

This is a capitalist society by which you aim to increase your gains/resources. Women are natural gathers of resources and nikkas wanna fukk, so they gain more resources. Problem solved if you remove bytches

People had the same bleak outlook in the 80s as well. 80s gets heavy rose tinted glasses treatment. Like everywhere. Social media. Everyday convo. shyt's wild. The 80s were actually damn messy. New York City was close to bankrupty in the 80s. Some shyt you never hear about happening today.
The 90s came through with a much better vibe.
But then 9/11 and the Bush years came. This country has never recovered from the War On Terror and nobody wants to admit it.
The 2030s will be the 90s era of this time.

Gen z can’t find jobs or afford to live on their own for the most part, but we are living in better times now as opposed to when you could send your kid to college just by working at the DMV or the post office…. Real black communities where everyone knew each other and looked after one another. Solid paying factory jobs were still a thing and the tech boom was in its infancy and offered a lot of opportunities to young minorities and college tuition was exponentially cheaper.Not sure how old you are, but no one had a bleak outlook coming up in the 80s…. Matter of fact, we saw America as our oyster….. Now you got college grads with stem degrees who can’t afford to buy a crib in a lot of cities….

Yall ain’t getting it…. Society will eventually dictate what you can control a lot more going forward
Do you have any stats on black unemployment, home ownership, crime/murder rate etc. to back up your viewpoint?
The black community was in shambles during the 80’s according to the data I’ve seen.

As someone who grew up in the 80s it was harder on the front end but the paths to success were more wide open or at the least you had a fair chance to succeed if you got you stayed focused.
I feel like today is the reverse easier on the front end but the opportunities are more limited, but I can only speak to my experience.
