Breh on twitter is posting news clips from the 80's crack era

[The G.O.D II]

You still trying to tell someone who witnessed the events as a grown-man what he saw? LOL. We had cable TV since 1984 and newspapers for over 100 years. Jet, Ebony, Essence, and other Black periodicals had pieces ever issue. The barbershop I went to kept the channel on C-SPAN during the entirety of the proceedings. Thugs on the street would chime-in on the assault weapons ban, 3-Strikes, etc. Women would talk about the increased punishments for sexual assaults. Muslims and Christians informed everyone who'd listen about the inmate education funding being dropped.​

You can't rewrite history, son. We were well-informed on the topic from a variety of sources, pro and con, on an almost daily basis.

Yep. IDK what buddy is talking about. My grandfather has a jet magazine cover with a crack cocaine cover. People were furious and pushed for that crime bill. Who do you think was behind the CBC advocacy behind it? Sure the rates were falling but that wasn’t known till years later. All people know was 92-93 were crazy all time peaks and something needed to happen

What year did it come out? And you got you years wrong. It was 1986-1991. By 1993 crime started going down. I remember all of this, and remember 1994 vividly

No one said people didn't talk about crack or the crime, I said the average black person didn't know about or the details of the crime bill of 1994. Mostlly hoteps, Preacher's, church goers, and local politicians. That is a minority of people

80s = Worst Post-civil rights decade

Crack era, 80s fashion and hair, Reaganomics, Reagan himself, etc

only glimmer of light from that WOAT decade was the RnB. But thats not enough to make that decade look decent.

The 2010s was worst. Way worst.

Y’all had to be there to witness the destruction.... I was there South Bronx 1980s

I oftentimes wonder what the black elevation would have looked like in the 1980s if it weren't for crack offsetting so much of our fukking gains.

Yeah you had Black America busting into the middle class by force for the first time in droves, but a lot of that was sort of hamstrung by them poisoning us by pipelining crack into the poor black neighborhoods man. For every black family that got a house in the suburbs you had a family in the ghetto trying to make it ripped apart by drugs and incarceration. Between crack, Reagan and their bullshyt legislation they fukking poisoned our people during one of our greatest surges coming out of the jim crow era.

Their timing is impeccable. Cacs have never ONCE failed to notice black excellence and do something.... ANYTHING to fukking stop it, or put their fukking thumb on the scale.

88. People did know about the details of the bill and how harshly it punished dealers and repeat offenders. Please stop acting like nikkas only cared about Martin and G funk in the 90s.

See what i mean, you are just making up shyt. People knew the details about a bill over 300 pages. The largest law enforcement bill ever in our country's history? Ok!

1988 is way different then 1994 When the crime bill was signed, so what was even the point of talking about jet magazine talking about crack? You do realize freebase was written about in 1980. NYC newspapers wrote about crack in 1985

Some of Y'all nikkas are remedial. I see why democrats played us for 8 years. Do you even know why the bill was written, besides the bullshyt crime excuse? What was happening in Politics? Let me know

Why are you being facetious? No of course people aren’t gonna know the fukking full 300 pages line by line every detail black People knee what the main gist of the bill was and supported it at the time. Bullshyt crime excuse? Stop it. Dems got smoked in the mid terms and lost the house or something for the first time since pre Roosevelt. Folks were clearly tired of their soft stance on shyt like crime and constant government programs. There was a reason why the crime and welfare bill was pushed

AGAIN, I didn't say black people didn't support it, I said the average didn't know about it, but fukk all of that lets get deep.

What was going on besides crime that made democrats make such a foul bill that sell outs like Reverand Al, Jesse Jackson, Calvin Butts, and other blacks who work against us with the Democratic party, support?

If you don't know just say it, and I'll teach you because it's still happening in this election, and I see fools still falling for the same shyt.

You did a quick search, but I'll put it in layman's term

The reason why the bill was created was because Bill Clinton was the first Democratic president for around 12 years, and republicans were saying they were soft on crime like they are saying now, it's their go to shyt to get elected. Trump did the same shyt as soon as he got elected, why do you think law enforcement loves him, he's republican

Bill Clinton's man Joe Biden pushed it, and he signed it into law in 1994. It was a money grab, and they used it as an excuse to get elected the next term, even though crime was going down already throughout the country, but blacks as a whole don't read, so they played us.

The bill was mainly for funding prisons, put more police on the street, and rehab centers. The hustle was crack use went down by 1994, weed use went up. This is why weed users made up almost half of the arrests to this day! And why they can readily send you to some sort of rehab just because you puff herb, it's all a con game to keep people paid in the criminal justice system

Violent crime went down also, but as George Bush said in his 1991 speech, the goal was to create a new world order. That bill is why we are Being watched all day, and police are everywhere. 9/11 just sealed it with the patriot act.

They are doing it again, but this time they are talking about helping everyone financially, but in reality if ya black ass vote Democratic with the nominees we have now, you will be in poverty for decades, but y'all for the okay doke constantly.

If some of y'all want to learn the truth of crime dropping, read this article. Learn the truth so you won't get played when people tell lies

How the Plummeting Price of Cocaine Fueled the Nationwide Drop in Violent Crime - CityLab

"Starting in the mid-1990s, major American cities began a radical transformation. Years of high violent crime rates, thefts, robberies, and inner-city decay suddenly started to turn around. Crime rates didn't just hold steady, they began falling faster than they went up. This trend appeared in practically every post-industrial American city, simultaneously."

"Then in 1994, the crime rate dropped off a cliff. The number of homicides would plummet drastically, dropping almost 50 percent in less than ten years. The same would go for every garden variety of violent crime on down to petty theft. The same year as the sharp decline in crime, cocaine prices hit an all-time low. According to the DEA's System to Retrieve Information on Drug Evidence (STRIDE) data, the price per gram of cocaine bottomed out in 1994 at around $147 (calculated in 2003 dollars), the lowest it had been since statistics became available"

still can’t believe how they were able to repair the Bronx. All though I’m sure many of those trash filled lots are row homes now.

meanwhile other cities still look stuck in the crack era
