1995-2004 = Greatest Era in Human History

[Black Magisterialness]

I feel like out of all the times one could say "were the best" or "good old days", I feel like the late 90's were the only time. But even then, domestic violence (school shootings started, mass shootings and domestic terror were a thing, high crime rates) was a big issue.

But it's funny, because 90's was when people started complaining about pc culture tho

the more things change the more they stay the same

Agreed, but the gun culture wasn't as pervasive though. Far as I remember Columbine and Flint were the only school shootings and those were in the 99 and '00 respectively.

I don't think people younger than 26-30 really understand how much the zeitgeist shifted after 9/11. Literally, almost overnight, we became culturally another country. Islamaphobia didn't really even exist before then, rampant patriotism grew (which, in turn, became xenophobia), the explosion of the war industrial complex which erased the need for proxies, a new generation of vets and the rise of PTSD and Opioids.

I was 14 when 9/11 happened and I can draw a direct line from that day to the cultural climate that allowed someone like Trump to be elected 14 years later.

Come on bro you really think out of all the people who died when the planes hit the towers none of them were black?

Black people die everyday. Why would a few dying on those planes that one day mean anything more to me?

Looking at videos from the 2000s really shows you how out of hand asses have gotten. Then again, I prefer slim with a bubble, and natural titties that jiggle and bounce.

Although, fashion and hair back then was ridiculous. The dark lipliner with the frosted lipstick, and the cropped pants with the pointy shoes, and the von dutch hats

White T era was GOAT until nikkas fukked it up wearing 6XL joints.

Being in college, clothing was so inexpensive, which was great cuz I was poor

I literally had white tees that went past my knees. shyt was long as fukk.

It was hot back then even if it looks silly as fukk now.

That's cause women were natural back then. Now we live in the era of scientifically engineering women. That's why they look so weird.

Like you said I'm not a fan of these gargantuan fake asses on chicks with slim thighs. Girls need to look proportional. If a girl is skinny, then a nice lil bubble is great. If she thick then a big ole booty is great. But what I don't wanna see is those skinny women with those large unnatural fake asses. shyt look weird and not attractive at all.

1996 - 2004*

This is legit. I just didn't go back pre-2000 cause I was super young back then and didn't really have great memories of what was going on.

2000 is when I entered 7th grade so its around 13 when I could actually formulate memories and consciousness. Before that all I remember was cartoons and kid shyt.

Change that to like 1994-2001

No wars, no terrorists, everyone's house was worth a fukk ton, budget was in surplus, buses ran on time, you could still get penny candy and gas under $1.25, people played outside, rap was by far the best genre of music out both creatively and popularity wise.

1995-2004 is more accurate.

2003 and 2004 were fiyah.

The downfall started in 2005.

Cosign. 9/11 is probably the most culturally significant moment of the last 50 years. Its definitely the most significant moment since the civil rights movement.

Probably wasn't good to be an adult then, but I will say early 2000s kid culture >>>>>>>> late 2000s kid culture. Just compare.

Cosign. I can still watch cartoons and kid shows from the late 90s and early 00s.

shyt for kids now is unbearable. And it ain't cause I ain't a kid anymore. Its just objectively worse.

I can believe that. I just don't remember that era that well. But those late 90s to early 2000s were FIYAH.

GOAT era easily.

We are living in the best of times even if it ain’t perfect

Also women just looked better back then. I don't know if it was because they were more natural. Or with the proliferation of porn now we've become desensitized to natural beauty.

But I still remember when this video dropped. Ether Baxter and all the chick in it were flames.



Plus Nelly's verse was hot. I remember memorizing it word for word.

I’ve noticed and remembered that a lot of the sistahs back then were much more feminine in demeanor, tone, and personality than they are now, especially during the early ‘00s

I find it really weird that Black Women in the late ‘10s are a lot more natural in the hair department but the negative side of that trade off is the masculinization or defeminization of our sistahs and the growing obsession towards silicone-based shyt.

Whereas back in that 1995 to 2004 timeline, the sistahs were wearing the perms and hair hats with the processed chemical sprays on deck but were still beautiful overall and carried themselves like Queens. Hell even when Ciara popularized the urban tomboy look in the mainstream again, Black Women were still fine and sexy asf doing it and were still into Brothas.

Fast forward to now tho, when they be rocking that look now and with how hypersexual this society has gotten since then, sometimes you gotta take a step back and wonder whether or not if that tomboy is on some bi-sexual/dyke shyt

Smh wtf happened?
