Do you think things have changed that much since 1991?

[fiat_money]

Yes .

 

[Recaptimus_Prime360]

dag man. 20 years flew by by.

 

[willhustle]

Far as technology and some advances in medicine yes. Now changes and progress as people in society no especially where the black community is concerned.

 

[chi-town91]

got a black president. back in the 90's i know some black folks thoght it would never happen. but i think a lot has changed. far as cars even though there are still some from da 80's n 90's drivin threw my block. fashion skinny jeans FAIL, music auto tune FAIL. but the 90's was the best time of my life considering i was a kid

Hairstyle and clothes? Who the fuck still has an Ice Cube Jheri curl or is rocking those ugly-ass Cuba Gooding, Jr. threads?

I'll agree that some stuff has stayed the same, but hairstyles and clothes are not among of them.

 

[JadaRoss]

it dont seem 20 years

 

[blackrain]

things are very different than how they were in 1991...the early 90's and now are only comparable because lil niggas are running around w/ stupid hair cuts

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

got a black president.

HOW DARE YOU BRING THAT UP

YOU THINK RACISM IS OVER JUST BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE CAN BE PRESIDENT NOW???!!

HES NOT EVEN REALLY BLACK, HES AFRICAN FROM AFRICA BLACK

I WONT BE HAPPY ABOUT A BLACK PRESIDENT UNTIL THERE HAVE BEEN LIKE FIFTY OF THEM

AHUHRGTUIWIURGIRWGHRIUGHIURGx

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

one black face as "president" does not equal the end of racism...

i've never said it did

all i've said is that it used to be impossible for blacks to hold that office

and things have changed for the better

but EVERY TIME i bring it up, blacks immediately assume i'm saying racism ended in 2008

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

your ilk uses it to overgeneralize the opportunities available to minorities...

"your ilk" is the new "you people"

anyway, in america, a minority can be elected president. highest office in the land. one of the most influential positions on the planet.

somehow this doesn't count for a lot of black people, tho. i think they're just mad because Obama worked hard, went to school, got a degree, and climbed his way to the top.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

bruh, hes black and he got elected president in America

a black man can be president here

true or false?

shit's true.

lazy folks in the ghetto and HBCU rhetoricians are scrambling to find ways to say it doesn't matter, but the 21st century is gonna be about black people who work hard succeeding

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

the presidency is a baby step now?

sheeeeeeeeit

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

we can't all be president bruh...

we dont all work hard

black people looking under couch cushions for racism in 2011

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

bruh, again, I NEVER SAID THAT

all i said was that in america, in the 21st century, a black man who works hard can achieve the highest title in the land

and yall dont wanna count it because hes not black enough or whatever

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

same is true for a white man

Besides the obvious, Technology (Internet, Cell Phones, Apps, etc).....it doesn't even feel like that much has changed.

This movie came out 20 years ago....TWENTY YEARS. And that shit....still seems like it could've dropped recently. Hairstyles, Clothing, Music, Slang, Cars, Pop. Culture, all not that far off from 2011. Shit is weird. There's a huge difference between 1951 - 1971 or 1971 - 1991 but....the 90s til now is like barely a blip of change.

There's a huge difference between 1991 and 2011, imo. There doesn't seem to be that much of a difference between the late 90s ('96-'99) and the New Millennium.

You mean, besides the obvious that changed the world to an epic proportion?

And stop posting a queer font, Maalik.

Besides the stuff that has changed, it seems like nothing has changed.

rofl.

Exactly.

Yall have yall opinions...I respect it.

My point is...if you took a New Yorker from the 90s & popped him down into New York in the 70s, he'd have a major culture shock. Society was different.

If you took a New Yorker from 2011 & dropped him down in Harlem in 1991...round the time "Juice" was filmed, it wouldn't be a huge adjustment period. Slang, clothing style, music, film, tv, politics, urban culture....hasn't changed much. Not as much as it did from the 70s to the 90s.
