Block parties in Queens are some of my favorite childhood memories....there was an episode of "The Chi" season 3 I think that captured this perfectly

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I wonder why we don't do block parties anymore. We need to go back to this.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

I prefer it not be associated with a grifter/cornball

I wonder why we don't do block parties anymore. We need to go back to this.

[I Really Mean It]

So weird to see black people who aren’t insecure, self conscious and constantly mean mugging. This is from a time when our community was a lot healthier, mentally and emotionally.
