Back in the 90’s did black men create the monster that we’re fighting now by lying to all black women about them being queens

Yep yep! In spite of the fukkery, I actually loved growing up in the 90s.Not one lie told. You seem to be a person that, much like me, embraced the 90s in a way that you can re-paint the picture with a balanced analysis, for both the good and bad. And lets be real, the atmosphere is 1990s America was as good as we've had it in our lifetimes because of that balanced output we received from that decade's popular culture.
Not that I'm in any way surprised, you're a fantastic poster through and through.

Going on long school field trips and them group sing alongs on the bus.
Whatchu know about that Crucial Conflict…whole bus fulla country ass kids was rapping word for word
“Smoking on HAAAAAAYYYY in the middle of the barn!”
Yeah somewhere along the way we lost that balance. People can’t walk and chew gum anymore and started taking entertainers WAAAAAY too seriously. Early on I remember we used to clown “thugs-a-bees” and rachet culture when people leaned too heavily into it. We used to call em “super-seniors” if they weren’t graduating or didn’t have anything to do after high school. Somewhere that shifted to everybody trying to be “street” or “hood”. For a lotta kids it stopped being entertainment and became a lifestyle.
I literally grew up in the 90s. So I know what it was as a whole as well. If you had different experiences, then great. Doesn’t invalidate anything I said that others also agreed with. You were just different. Peace
Well I’m from Brooklyn & in a time where you actually had to approach women to get the number. I don’t recall cats randomly being on some “Yo bytch let me holla, yo scallywag what’s up, bald headed hoe I like ya ceaser”, not men that actually bagged women.
Now ‘shorty’, ‘Ma’, & shyt like that yes. Not to say sisters never got called out their name but most could give it as well as they took it. Most of what you listed I’ve never heard women called that outside of confrontation, in which case, of course the gloves are off or maybe in a barbershop setting. Hairhatted hooligan?! Most women wasn’t even rocking weaves like that in the 90s( braids yes). Go look at ‘Ice Cream” by Raekwon & count the weaves.
Folks in here making it as if 90% of black men were on this time when if fact it was a small %, usually as I stated those dudes who were under the poverty lines trying to do their thing with a woman out of their league in most cases. Most cases it was not the case, this was some shyt you saw on the "movie" or heard in a rap song. This was not everyday life as these 2-3 folks are trying to project it as.
Most black women talk down on their own black women. Black women call each other "bytch" smh, best friend at that in good times and bad times but wanna blame black men?? Stop that.
Black men did not create this monster, other black women/gay black men along with white women/men with their push in the media created this so call new person who we see today.
Black women did not use to act like this. But the men who these women want, are calling it out or just not dealing with them and now folks are trying to find something to latch on to give reason on why shyt is fukked up for them.

if anything created a monster it's social media, onlyfans, and simps. It's a lethal combination. A woman can only avoid so much delusion when a dude is out here offering her $100 for feet pics
I lived it and you are lying your ass off in this thread.
It’s hard to put a finger on it. This is shyt that has kept me up at night.
There was a CLEAR shift from the 90s to the 2000s in terms of black culture.
The church was certainly apart of it. But it’s bigger than that. I think we as a people sold out. That’s the only thing I can pinpoint. As I described in other posts, there was REAL grimey shyt going down in this era! shyt that would get u “canceled” with a quickness in this era.
But there was also a huge sense of black cultural essence that also existed as well that spawned so many positive elements that buffered us against the fukkery.
As we transitioned to the 2000s, people became preoccupied with fitting into white mainstream culture and other cultures or allowing them to have access to our culture. I call it the “special snowflake” era. In a lotta ways, we were so good at gatekeeping “black culture” in the 90s that we ended up alienating a lotta blacks if they didn’t conform to very narrow definitions of “blackness”.
It spawned a generation of blacks who felt resentful that they didn’t fit in, so they were hell bent on proving to blacks within their community that they weren’t “typically like those other blks”. That was one form of selling out. Others started chasing white dollars in various industries and the success they got made them disdainful of doing business in our own community, as we have outside forces that can make it more difficult when doing for your own.
A lot went down but we became more disjointed through the years. Changes in schools and gentrification impacted this too.s
Maybe people grew up in the shire or the land of Narnia in the 90s.
I had to exit the chat with that level of gaslighting. Ya’ll got it!
Box chevy sounds midwest to down south. Definitely not east or west coast. Where you live in the country determined your experience.
Consider this.. Im not implying nothing is new here, but when NWA and Too Live Crew went to congress to get censorship lifted. So they can call women bytches and h0es and I wanna kill nikkas. Its been a downhill slide since then.
