You DO realize there's still young black boys playing sports and doing positive things, right?
And there was always some fatherless raggamuffins in the ghetto doing hoodrat stuff with their friends.

It's not just sports breh. Look at the candence and mannerisms of the young men from the 1980s clip. The difference to present days is noticeable

Best thing about this post is seeing a young Gary Sheffield 
It’s like you know the pros had to play little league to get there but it’s still cool when you go back to see it

1980 wasn’t that the year Jay-z shot his brother for stealing his chain he had bought with money from crack he sold to him? 
People with these comparisons.
Put up a video of child soldiers in Washington DC in the 80s vs these 12 year olds running car washes in the suburbs in 2025 too

Also, one is a candid situation the other is a staged introduction line.
Plenty of Black boys doing great things out here.

Yessir. Saw that too.
You just indirectly proved my point . None of these boys from the 80s were from the suburbs yet exud more masculine energy then alot of youth today I see in the suburbs. Product of being from the last generation of youth born into a community with a high marriage rate (present working male in the home) and masculinity didnt equate to being "street"1980 wasn’t that the year Jay-z shot his brother for stealing his chain he had bought with money from crack he sold to him?

The obsession with youth and not gracefully aging has made the idea of emotional maturity as a base level for being productive, responsible adults a borderline crime in this society. Context,nuance,satire, listening to comprehend instead of just waiting to speak, are lost arts .Engagement/rage algorithms,echo chambers or hammering home arguments and gotcha moments in a debate are tell tale signs were devolving as a society and emotionally having the bandwidth of children.
Derek Bell was a good player but homie became a drug addict and a few years ago got arrested again with a crack pipe

People were calling African Americans a matriarchal community since the 1960s…read the Moynihan report
Go and look at the village people’s fans.
If brehs started moving as flamboyantly like the disco era in 2025, we’d see people comparing NOI people with 2025 people inspired by the 70s on here, talking about “look at this new era, the 70s jiggas rolling in their graves”.
I’m not saying that it’s all gravy now, but fukked upness been here for decades.
It’s just with this internet era we have a subsection of people with a deep fetish for minuscule minorities like gays and worse trans, or black criminals or whatever the fukk. And wanna push those things like there’s a pandemic and that those people represent 51% of the population. When in reality those people have to go the internet to even find them
