The Drug Trade had Blacks living well in the 90s, not Bill Clinton

Clinton had little to do with the economic boom of the 90s

As someone mentioned it was the internet and technology

He did however have a lot to do with deregulations that were one of the major catalysts to the recession.

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.

They also put more death and destruction in the hood too

Did you live in the hood in the 90's or just skim thru it vicariously thru rap songs??? Majority of the people involved in the drug trade were NOT balling, the majority were fiends. For every 1 neighborhood drug lord was 10,000 crackheads. I don't think I knew more than 1 person in my projects whose parents were living good off drugs, but every other person's mom was a crackhead back then. I do remember the few who were balling at the time were getting locked up for football numbers. I do remember the young dudes taking over becoming parasites who did nothing for the hood, and they didn't apply the same morals and principles that the older heads did, like respect the neighborhood, or help the neighborhood in any way. So good for you, your parents were drug dealers at a time when we could have continued the transition from civil rights, instead we lost a whole generation to the drug trade.

blacks never lived well....the 90s they were poor,i remember nikkas having nice cars and gear...and that created the illusion of wealth....but of course we all know now they were nikka rich

and we need too know how, look at gentrification....u got nikkas talking about harlem is the hustlers capital, and these dudes giving all their dope money back to whites for new cars and kicks...and brownstones were selling for $1....now those brownstones are worth millions...smh....lol love my people, but were some L takers...and we do every well, so our wins are super great and our Ls aswell

OP not lying..all the older homies I see today dusty af cause they didn't invest but they ALL were balling in the 80s-90s even early 2000s...

After BMF got hit in 06 nikkas don't get rich off drugs like they use to unless they plugged in with someone from that era that's still connected and a factor...now a days you wanna get rich off dope find you a weed grower or a doctor to write scripts
