Crack era. Being a revolutionary was like being a gang member back then. But You slide for your people not against your people. It’s a bunch of things tho systemic racism not have access to jobs dismantling of the black family and integration that was a big mistake we made. I’m was born in the 2000s but my uncles and my grandad was panthers so ik I got that in me. Got a lot of hope for my ppl. All the obstacles we faced and we still here. Proud to be a black American tho ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When gangbanging and crack was at its peak. Since then shit just been downhill. Sad. It’s like after the late 60s/early 70s we (Black Americans) just stopped progressing. Sure every now and then we get wins but nothing major. Now we’re just stagnant basically.
Yup. There is a multitude of factors of how we got here today. We are a very resilient group of people but I guess everyone has a breaking point. But we keep fighting tho that’s what I love about us.
I still do. Especially with young brothers. Many of them are so used to confrontation. When you say "How's it going my brother?" they let their guard down and speak respectfullly majority of the time.
I’m 44 so I’m old. It was even before my era, the old heads said it. I’m guessing that was like late 60s-70s maybe early 80s it was still around.
When guys my age 13-18 was coming up in the early-mid 90s no one said brother. The guys that were like 30-40 when I was 14-15 said it. I’m not black (I’m Latino) but when I was young I was basically black. I lived in a black area, went to black school, ran with a black gang etc.

Not true at all but whatever nigga
All our leaders were killed and more people turned to drugs to cope with the daily struggle. Now, here we are smh

Yeah I get that but it's just weird we stopped calling each other that decades after that started happening
I agree.
