Looking back at the 90s and early 2000s and comparing to this decade...

[CHILLL]

In my opinion we aren't as close knit as a race as they were back in those days. Although I was a child in the majority of the 90s it seemed that black people stuck by black people. These days, we're so quick to throw another black person under the bus when something happens. There's no longer any unity among the race. That's just my opinion

exactly

 

[???]

black people are just as cool as we ever were. I'd say we're even cooler now than before based on the increase in culture vulture activity. The world more often looks to black americans for whats cool than any other culture. Even without us being in shows on tv most of our slang, mannerism, singing style and dances are continuously shown whether in watered down form or done by us.

we were never cool...

exactly

exactly what? yes, exactly fake...

 

[Truth200]

extremely flawed people and useless, this era is better than the fake 90s.

You don't honestly believe that....

Everything is commercial and all about the dollar now. Shows like Martin or New York Undercover were gritty and relatable. Now we have shows like House of Payne or Blackish which is all commercialized. Sure the issues are real but the soul isn't there. Same with music....thats why all the legends had their heyday in the 90s and early 2000s. They were talking about what they saw and what they were going through. As soon as the cacs saw that hip-hop can be a cash cow they commercialized that too. Now everything is geared towards the club. Cacs ruined true black entertainment The only thing I've been proud of lately as far as black entertainment is Fruitvale Station and J.Cole the gawd they're both kind of a throwback.
