Facts.

If youre in you mid 30s are older and were around the hood, you remember how many Black families escaped the strongholds of poverty. My first was one of them. My family had been in the projects for 20 years with roached and rats. I was a dare kid, they had me totally against drugs with my 4 stripe knockout adidas.

:francis: good think i could fight and jone with the best of them. Not one person ever clown my 15$ shoes.
:birdman:

As me and my 4 brother got older and yearn for finer lining and finer women, the answer to our empty pockets was in the street. The dopegame put Jordans and Hilfiger on my body and some of the finest chicks in the city on our porch and in the back room.
:takedat:

We had arrived. :blessed:

Its 5 of us, my dad brothers had 8 boys and we're are thorough. Tho 20 years ago, our last name still carry weight around the city.


Not only our family rose up out of poverty, many families did. Dopemen spent so much money in the hood. 100$ tips for haircuts. Buying shyt for the whole hood. Some many nice cars they would sell for a fraction that paid after only one year.

The 90s and part of the 2000s were really the best of times for Blacks. Many Blacks were pushing college. Great Black tv and movies. R&b was live. Sports were greats. The Malcolm X revival and Black pride rebirth. Blacks had a lot of respect. I remember the optimism.


Clinton dropped the crime bill that most people didnt feel until after he left office. He did absolutely nothing for blacks but lock us up and play the sax.

Screw Trump and the Clinton:pacspit:

You're clearly remembering the 90s a hell of a lot different from everybody else out here.
The 90s economy is what had Black people "living well" as jobs increase, college enrollment increased, and crime continued to drop.
Stock market was strong, salaries were going up, banking, accounting, and law were paying dividends like never before, etc.
To be Black and a programmer in the 90s had to be the GOAT lifestyle/career choice :banderas:

Clearly you dont know wtf ur talking about. How old are you?


Programmers live in hood?

Most black people live in the hood, so the stock market and Lawyers dont benefit us much.

Drugs put more money in the hood than anything.

Let's be real, the cacs knew this and gave a lot of the dope to Mexicans and poor whites and gave a lot of Black the time. Drugs is terrible but it gave a lot of people access to money they seen in the rap videos. Nowadays, Blacks hardly have collective access to shyt but jail and mistreatment

I'm the 90's our next door neighbors were drug dealers, my mom worked two jobs and was a single parent. We had more then they had:francis: most people in the dope game are bottom feeders selling to fiends. The money is in distribution or selling to dealers. But if you have the cash to operate on that level you mine as well open a legitimate business and make just as much if not more legally and being your own boss. This is why we've heard alot of people say over the years that if you can be good at selling ounces of Cocaine you already got the mind of a business man. May as well be legitimate with it.
