Yeah.. If you are young and impressionable, meaning you were influenced by the people you like being around, then depending on who those people were you did dumb shyt..

Usually when you grow up and realize that the people who impressed you wasn't on shyt, then you supposed to be accountable for yourself and stop being around those people.
Being young and being impressionable go together. You can't be held accountable for something that is basically natural.

That's why you teach and lead the youth.

Bringing accountability is systemic and collective issue is stupid.

Accountability is an overused/misused concept that does not mean anything anymore.

I feel like it’s not studied enough what happened between the 70s and 80s enough. Just truly demonic.
Yep. The scope of what happened is not studied or explained enough. The crack era totally rocked the foundation of the black society and transformed all its aspects from family to work.

It was like an anthropological nuke.

Look at how black folk regarded one another in the 50s, 60s, and most of the 70s.

Compare it to the 80s onwards.

I mean the only people who talk about it are people who mock it. It’s as if it’s too tragic. Or conspiratorial.

It’s weird. Like there’s no definitive books on it that are reputable or documentaries that are foundational. It’s like black ethnography stopped or something. Then BLM starts and people wanna jump back in. I know the 90s talked about it but it was more adversarial and not academic.

It’s very strange.

It would be a surreal experience to explore what the Crack Epidemic done to black communities and the family unit on an academic level.

I grew up in the middle of that shyt. Like a lot of other black people as well. Since you're black, why not ask another black person?. Seems like you need some uppity black person from the burbs who wasn't around the chaos to write about it.
