It’s also interesting because many of these children weren’t even alive to see or experience the terror of the late 80s/early 90s to even understand the crime bill. It’s easy to look at things with a 2020 lens. But the crack era was literally terror

I don’t understand emotional attachment to political candidates. But I just wonder what ppl think the political response to dead bodies on the ave at 8am should have been at that time

Had u been walking these streets with Wayne Perry on the loose u woulda asked for 2 crime bills

It was extremely difficult to watch Snowfall because they accurately depicted the moment you are hooked on crack. The look in her eyes as they looked like glass...her life was over instantly

You can feel however you want but the crime bill is a very interesting point of contention because your grannies, your pastors & all your ppl supported it because we were literally in terror

And I continue to say “at the time” because crack was unprecedented. It was a drug that made your kindergarten teacher go MISSING cuz she was high in a crackhouse

It’s easy to say “the crime bill is why u don’t have daddies” but the etiology of why you don’t have dad involves a lot more than a crime bill.

I didn’t even apply to Howard because as a child it was an understanding that they killin everyone in DC. It was completely different but that was said so much that it stuck

It definitely should have been revisited by now but a lot of the things you enjoy wouldn’t be if there wasnt a dramatic response to what the crack era became

John Thompson basically risked his life by telling a kingpin to stay away from his players

Many of the places y’all are tiktokin these dumb ass dances from was where ur male family members were making the trap say aye from.
