  Not glorifying or nothing but I watch videos like this from that era and hearing people talking about how "bad" it is now I just shake my head like Really🤔 Compared to THIS type madness🙄 Listen! And again not glorifying, but America from the late 70's up to the mid 90's was on an ENTIRELY different level of savagery in its urban areas! Not only in DC but EVERYWHERE! I'm not even from DC! But it was the same struggle up here in the NYC area! Boston! Philly! Newark! I mean it was even popping off in little areas like Long Island! Westchester County! Ct! And smaller cities like Patterson, Jersey City and Camden NJ! Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Yonkers NY! and Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury and Hartford CT! And this is just in the area I came up in the Northeast! We not even including Chicago! Cleveland! Detroit! LA, Miami, St Louis, Memphis and Houston and Dallas areas! My point…yeah..its bad! And we need to do something! But feeling like there is no hope! Nah! Not even! Because if we can overcome what it was at these times nothing is impossible! And I am not just talking! I came up in the street during these times! I know what I am talking about! RIP to ALL those who fell during this area! It's almost incomprehensible when I look back at those times! We literally lost almost an entire 4 generations across the nation! That's crazy….😢

  Biggest blessing and lessons I learned growing up as a youth during this time was stay in your lane and stay out the way. Follow those principles at 50!! p from that good Southeast!!! Black youth take note of this message

  1st off, welcome back & im glad you’re continuing to provide us with this good historical information. Your videos will live on & be used as reference points for years to come. Secondly, I just wanna say you do a masterful job with your research & presentation. Thirdly, glad to hear you’re FBA brother. That’s who really made DC & gave it its original flavor. No disrespect to black immigrants but FBA all day ✊🏿

  Can you do a video on Fairmont and Valley Green? My folks tell me bout they old hoods and some wild things they saw as kids/teens but don’t go too in depth with it. I think they still traumatized from the stuff they seen.
