Around what years did black youth stop respecting their elders?

[BrothaZay]

Like we had a thread about how the 70s were more violent than today. But even still, there was more respect towards elders, especially elder females back then than now.

I would say the shift(from what I know) really started in the 90s. Crime reached its peak, mass incarceration was becoming a new and normal thing, and kids/young adults actually started running the blocks, not well established OGs with common sense.

These were some ruthless killas, but they still respected their elders

The lil homies developed a taste for power, realized they could do a lot more without an OG cutting into the profits

The youth of any generation or any race stops respecting the previous when the youth realize the previous generation reaped bad fruit...

Let's take the Greatest Generation...you know the generation that fought in WW2.

The Hippie Generation eventually grew up and realized that the Greatest Generation created an evil capitalistic, militaristic, racist country and rebelled. They did not give a fukk about what their parents say.

By the 90s...the Black youth came to the realization that the Civil Rights Generation and Black Power Generation was full of shyt.

The amount of money little nikkas could get selling crack rock and the guns made little nikkas more powerful than the older people that sold them the American Dream...while they ain't got the American Dream.

That's the worst thing old Black folks do...

"Oh yeah, chile, now you can be anything you like...."

While the old nikka ain't shyt. And none of the nikkas around me ain't shyt. And all the White folks I see got more than I got and you got put together. You wanna say you marched and protested and all of that shyt...but we still broke nikka...and this nikka over here getting money selling these little ass rocks...

Then you have Hip Hop music that changed the world....more young nikkas getting money. Diddy in a Shiny Suit. Tupac wearing Versace. Biggie in Coogie.

Actually the 90s was an offshoot of the Nixon's interpretation of Black Power. For Nixon, Black Power meant Black Capitalism. It meant nikkas making money and shutting the fukk up.

The lack of the respect old Black folks get is because these nikkas always wanna remind little nikkas about all the shyt that the "elders" and the "ancestors" did in the 60s but ain't got shyt to show for it.

The Civil Rights Movement is a religion at this point. For old Blacks and old Whites. It's supposed to shape how Black people supposed to behave and act. You gotta be docile. You gotta be respectful. You gotta respect tradition. You gotta be composed. You gotta non-reactive.

I don't wanna hear that shyt because inequality still exist and it is growing faster and faster and faster

Maaaaan, these young cats all over the country soft as hell.

The nikkaz in the 90s even looked more intimidatin'.

LA nikkaz had me wearin' dikkie suits. nikkaz wasnt on no pretty shyt and still made it look fly.

Dont get me wrong, nikkaz out here still scared of them LA streets, but it aint shyt like it was in the 90s. The majority of nikkaz in sets back then HAD to put in work.
