1987 SPECIAL REPORT: "BLACK FAMILIES AT THE CROSSROADS"

Look at baltimore today

This issue has been a problem in our community for at least 50 years if not much longer. And no signs of improvement!!

The hip hop was "alot" better back then, wow!! How have we regressed so much?

Antinatalism

40 years later we’re having the same conversation… 😢

One of the panelists made a good point, “Too many loved sons and raised daughters.”

Those tv host look good. I miss this kind of tv.

I was born in 87, and also from Baltimore.

At first I was like, “Nas was making music in 1987?” 😂

When stimulating conversation amongst us was still a thing 🤔

"I'm black y'all and im black y'all and im blacker than black and I'm black y'all!" - that's kinda like how some of this sounds

Black people collectively have always had less than white people in this country yet we haven’t always had so many communities overrun with violence and so much disrespect.
What happened?

My fav Nas song!!! 2nd Childhood!!!

2nd Childhood

EXCUSES!

thanks for this video it addresses so much Baltimore looks different now

I would also like to add that you don’t even see tv programs like this on Tv any more like you did during the 70’s/80’s/90’s. That is by design.

The thing that they didn't think to tell the white guy, who called, was: inform your neighbors, talk to your coworkers, spread the truth.

A little interesting point: for those that don't know, it was this same Baltimore ABC affiliate, WJZ-TV, wherein Oprah Winfrey really got her television start, in the late 70s and early 80s.
"People Are Talking" w/Richard Sher and Oprah Winfrey.

Very sad documentary indeed and basically still the same if not worse in 2023 going into 2024 in a few days. Now you got a war going on between BM and BW telling their gender to date outside their race to achieve happiness. There is a curse on us as a collective.

The system was set is for us to fail, the curse is broken!!!

This is the era where black people came tougher,
