Aired in the early- mid 90s, black history month on HBO. I cant remember its name but believe Cosby produced it.

I was a kid at the time and was going to an all black private school (common in jersey)...going up in a majority black neighborhood. I caught this shyt TV one day (illegal black box) and it fukked with my head .....on top of our school trip to go see rosewood :to: I don't think I ever actually spoke to a white person by that point and would've gone militant had I not moved.

I wild thing about it is nobody I know remembers this so I figured I made this shyt up.:mjcry:

Man, I'm a grown-ass man watching this cheap-looking cartoon....and I was still like :damn: when I saw them put that white shyt all over her face

Bad enough they was beatin' lil man down.....but that little girl was crying, and didn't do/say shyt to them. They was foul as fukk for that.....

I just wanna know if they got some justice in the end....:wow:

EDIT: And is it just me.....or do kid's shows/cartoons nowadays don't seem to address real racial issues like the ones in the 90s?

I remember Kids WB had a cartoon called Histeria, where one episode showcased the Civil Rights movement. They didn't show the more extreme shyt of course, but they also didn't sugarcoat the injustice that black people went through back then......

Her punk ass brother holding on to the wall watching but runs over with a quickness when it's over. :snoop: I'll die before I stand around and let that happen to my lil sister
