How many of y’all grew up like this playing in the street?

[Amerikan Melanin]

This was normal to me. We was outside allllllll damn day. Older kids and brothers chilling and teaching us sports.

Girls playing double Dutch.


Who was the fastest kid on the block.

Water gun fights.

Asking my mom if I could go to my boys house for dinner cause she was frying chicken.

I’m a military brat. So living on base was like this all day everyday. We played football at least 3 times a week and balled everyday. Three flies in, street football, made up a game called war, and played capture the flag.

when the girls were around hide and go get it.


Moved back to Cali in 2000 and stayed off base.

Probably 8 of us in the neighborhood that always got to together. Stopped playing football cause it wasn’t enough of us, so straight basketball which was cool.

I’m short gang and my left was weak so I had to do the dirty work and spot up.

I miss those days.
