The question is what Era was worse for black people? The cracked Era. They locked us up for drugs while whites got treatment centers fir the same junkie behavior if not worse.

the crack era was bad because of how fast and hard it hit

I remember up until the summer of 85 or 86, there gangs but I was still able to ride my bike outside at dusk.

The all of a sudden it was a warzone.
we went from the occasional gun shot, to rolling off the bed and sleeping on the floor because your bed was at window height.

It different seeing the batter ram on your street.

For those that dont know the batter ram is a converted APC vehicle with a long tube with a ramming plate on the front.

In south central everyone had wrought iron bars on windows and doors.
So it was almost impossible for police to get in.

The batter ram would either bust through your front door or tear the bars along with the windows from your house

Damn sounds like Detroit in robocop era

Probably the Era where they would have picnic (pick a ni$$er) while watching strange fruit hanging from poplar trees!

What about slavery?
