If ya bones ache. It's gonna rain.

Thing is I have heard white folk with arthritis say this same thing.

 

[Originalman]

They don't?

The thought is that the hair is in a protective style for long periods of time. Which in turn it isn't touch and new growth is allowed to grow un-touched.

My mom has bad arthritis and claims it’s true lol

Many folks black or non black claim it is true.

 

[Originalman]

Some of the things mentioned in hear aren't even myths.

Also they aren't even myths that just black people mention.

 

[Originalman]

This isn’t a myth

People with arthritis or previous back or leg injuries do feel pain/discomfort when rain is coming

They usually can feel it the day before

People with knee injuries (ACL or MCL tears) say this as well. Especially athletes.

crazy how many nikkas still believe that.

 

[Originalman]

Its crazy cuz the amount of violent crimes back then make today look like sesame street

Exactly. I mentioned on here growing up in chicago how gangs would literally make an announcement that it would be a fight at a location at a certain time.

Due to this kids and people would be off the street and hiding out in the house.

The closest thing I can remember to something like this is the cartel wars I seen working in mexico. Cartels high jack a street and start blasting at one another in broad daylight.

Every postal nikka I know is eating

Yep its a government job.. most folks who get those jobs are doing well and get to retire with a pension.

Crack did ruin black neighborhoods

It didn’t.

Easiest way to tell?

Guess which neighborhoods had the most crack use and sales?

White neighborhoods.

The deindustrialization, hyper-policing, redlining and looting of black neighborhoods caused the destruction.

"Don't whistle at night as you are calling the dead"

Do you whistle at night?

 

[Amor fati]

Do you whistle at night?

Sometimes randomly.

 

[Noriega]

It didn’t.

Easiest way to tell?

White neighborhoods.

The deindustrialization, hyper-policing, redlining and looting of black neighborhoods caused the destruction.

Deindustrialization came before crack
