Black Youth and Black American Pop culture of the 1950s

[#1 pick]

it's sad that back then u see our people wearing suits & dresses and 60 years later we downgraded to what we have today.

and this goes as well to the music. and u know what? we didn't even have the opportunities that we have today back then. now look at us

We really don't have the opps we had bad then and less family. We are further fukked then those days. At least we can walk down the street without being called nigg.. or being hung but we have the police, hate, stress, no family, no community. I mean damn, we losing hard.
