Yall done tore all the bottom of ya shoes w/me!!!
The fact that they keep trying to wage the war against black folks living in the wastelands that were artificially created instead of waging war on the source......it's easy to uphold that white supremacist image rather than doing real work and take real risks.......the source and the peices of the organization is protected.......

The crack era at least in NY ended in 95. Which means there are young adults younger than me who might have been born to a crack mother
When y'all going to talk about the nikkas that supposedly made $100k a week during the crack era?? Also, people act like every black person was on crack during that time period.. Sure that era was f*cked up, but depending on where you lived, that sh*t was mainly isolated to the projects that was torn down in the late 90s and early 2000s..
For Black people, I'd say most of the toxic discourse surrounding Black identity and culture in the U.S. For example there probably wouldn't be gangsta rap if not for the crack era. As there would probably be less drug dealers as well as users among Black people.
Gender wars amongst Black Americans would be less pronounced, as the talking points concerning "single mothers" wouldn't be relevant if less Black men are lost to gang or police violence, addiction, or the legal system.
There would probably be less conservative Black folks if there was no crack era. As many right wing Black people actually encourage extra policing and harsher legal action in predominantly Black communities...due to crime that is a direct result of the crack era.
There's a lot more. But the crack did as much damage as Jim Crow arguably.
The Crack era definitely reverberates to today.

I was born in 1990. I’m 33 now.
I’m saying some of the young adults born in 91-94 might have been birthed by a crack mother which can explain why they might be acting out of place today.
There's a lot of people with mental/developmental/physical disabilities due to prenatal cocaine exposure that are still alive & kicking

True.
You're actually more right than I was thinking.
That time frame should have produced most of the crack babies.
They are all grown now, raising kids

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) – A resident of Chesterfield County, Virginia, had a package stolen while the delivery driver was bringing it to her front door — a surprisingly brazen instance of porch piracy that was caught on camera.
Jessica Saenz, of Chesterfield, was working from home on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 24, when she heard a knock on her door.
“I was in a meeting and then the FedEx lady started knocking on my door like, really hard,” said Saenz. “I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’”
The FedEx delivery driver told Saenz that the package she was delivering — an iPad ordered by her husband — had been stolen.
Saenz then checked her doorbell camera and saw what had happened: A man, who reportedly told the driver he lived at the home, walked up alongside her and took the package from her hands before running off to leave in a white BMW.
Johnny Eubanks, Saenz’s neighbor, said he saw the incident while he was walking his dog.
“It’s kind of kind of crazy. I’ve never seen anything like that before. You know, usually people are sneaky about it,” said Eubanks. “People are pretty desperate now.”
The Chesterfield County Police Department, which is handling the investigation, said the white BMW seen in the video is believed to be involved in another robbery that took place last month.
Anyone who recognizes the man in the video is asked to contact Chesterfield Police at 804-748-1251.

If you lived in any major black metro area you'd know that herion had those same areas f*cked up before crack. Black men coming back from Vietnam strung out in the 70s was already an issue.
shid they out in the country in louisiana no doubt
