Cycle of civilizations. I remember September 12th 2001 the then president declaring anyone who didn't support his war plan that he hadn't announced yet a terrorist. That was the exact moment America started moving away from cooperation and tolerance.
@IStevenSeagal nah it was the way Obama handled the Michael Brown and Trayvon martin incidents. He stoked racial tensions quite a bit.. go look at polls during his second term and you’ll see
90's: Stop running after your tail, you're going nowhere with that game! 2020's: Look at that tail, look at that tail! Run after the tail, yes, run in circles!
It’s crazy how the world has changed. Growing up in the 2000s I always thought we were heading into a future where ethnicity truly didn’t matter anymore and I was so glad I would live in this world when I would be grown up. But now sadly, people make ethnicity out to be more important than ever…
Smh… yall refuse to pay attention. These black people spoke on the same things many of us say today. Y’all are prejudice, racist, xenophobic and whatever else. You just don’t like to be called out on it.
Y’all weren’t even alive back then. Y’all are suckers for eating this up. You know what they used to do to black people at the Homan Square police station? Ever heard of Jon Burge?
Nah, it's just the republitards and the fallout of their collective, self-reinforcing insanities that seed reactionary insanities in the "activist" crowds.
The reality is that MOST people still feel this way... but it's the media that has convinced us that it's not true. People being racist is a lot more interesting and is much more likely to go viral and end up in your feeds.
Not true. It was worse back then. I know, because was a young adult during that time. Social media only exposed what was already there. Nothing under the sun is new
Nah. 80's and 90's were simply an era of decadence and ignorance. The strain on people in "minority" communities in the country and on people abroad from the immensely damaging racist policies and actions of those in power in this society have simply become to great to be ignored to where many who bought into the lies of that era have changed their views. Lies can only stand for so long before the truth comes back to the forefront.
The most clear agenda is to make money. Nowadays companies make money by grabbing your attention. Showing you controversial and hate-inducing content has been shown to be very effective at catching attention, so that's the incentive. Maybe there's more to it but it doesn't need to be more complicated than that tbh
@@hugojaime9565when did this person claim to be oppressed? Stop tryna stir the pot. You’re also part of the problem by generalizing a group of people based on their skin.
yes divide and rule and control the opposition, diversity and mixing is all about control to divide everyone and aggravate problems, if people were intelligent and admired their differences we would all fare fine but even now people are losing iq (they are celebrating it).
I disagree. I think it’s my generations (gen z) and the new generations (gen alpha I think?) total complete lack of self awareness, victim mentality, and social media-addicted morons that states like California or New York feed into their bullshit. Things like Me2movement or DEI incentives by complaining liberals completely botched any chance for true equality. Just first world problems popping up for no real reason other than to complain about nothing.
The 00s were actually a big overrated. Particularly towards the end of the decade. Early 2000-2002 was okay. 90s was like another universe compared to the 00s. I'm a millennial but felt I belonged more towards some previous generation like gen-x.
This take is so dumb no matter what ”period” you try to sell as better , fact is standard of living is better by far nowadays and you can still enjoy all the media last decades had to offer
How naive. Yeah I'm sure being LGBT was so much safer back then mate 🙄. Don't even bullshit and pretend it was in comparison to now. Today the world is so much more accepting of other people's identities, especially Gen Z

Today people think economies and countries run off their feelings and we’re all gonna bite the bullet for the dumbing down of our population.
One of the coolest things about this video is it seems like the ppl are giving their actual honest opinion. Free thinking & speaking. There was no Internet.

Yeah, it's been since about 2010-ish. What a massive regression. I'm honestly scared for our future. Though in the last few years, I think I'm starting to notice a bit of a slowdown in the regression. Not confirmed yet. A small glimmer of hope maybe, that we'll look back at the 2010's and 2020's as an unfortunate aberration in society.
You mean just before the ruling powers used 9/11, which they caused, to take away everyone's rights, kill millions of innocents in a war for pil, and ruin culture? Yea.
Grew up in NYC as a white kid in the projects. Our crew was me and my brother the Greeks, the Dominican brothers Pedro and Miguel, the Puerto Rican brothers Miguel and Waldy, Chris and Juan also Hispanics, Sean half Irish/ half Italian, Jerry and Nija who were black. We had the best childhood ever and still tight three decades later. Racism is pushed by the evil media and terrible parents
thank you! so cool to see you had such a dope squad of ppl. i myself grew up in the hood of Baltimore (predominantly black and some Latino) and went to an almost all white school in another county. i myself am a mix of things (my mom is black/irish/native american, my father is black/filipino) so that cultural heritage plus my neighborhood and school led to me being fascinated by all types of ppl. ive been saying for a while now I literally want us all to win, I want white ppl to win, I want black ppl to win, Asian, Middle Eastern, Latino and Hispanic, Pacific Islanders, etc. it's so lame that ppl still have those ancient mindsets and allow the media's intentional racebaiting to divide us. if anything, we all need to support each other and not these twisted govt folk
@@trillatsunsetThat's so cool! I am white and where I grew up there was a mixture of white and black people. I saw alot of black people being harrased and made fun of and I stood up for them and became best friends with one of them, John. He was an amazing friend and always respected me for standing up for him, I always respected him for repaying the favour and we were always treating eachother equally and having fun, couple months later we found some new kids some were black, white and asian. We introduced ourselves and said they are welcome to join us for lunch and from there on we had a small friendgroup. (Marcel, Omar, Dylan and CJay) We played baseball after school and on weekends, had go kart races (homemade) and played basketball at our local hoop. Great times.
It's wild growing up in the 90's being taught everyone should be treated equal and now, almost 30 years later, seeing the mainstream culture teaching their kids that the very first thing you should consider when deciding how to treat someone is the color of their skin. It's almost like there's some group of people out there who are trying to keep us separate and fighting. Thanks for sharing this I hope the world never forgets the progress we made in the 90's to end racism. It's so incredibly sad to see this revival of hate and division when we were doing so well.
@@drnanard9605 KIDDO I saw you RU-vid you certainly don't remember in fact your daddy was probably still busy shooting loadings into Kleenex with Victoria Secret magazines. Race baiting has been going on extra strong since then certainly and OJ Simpson was the real divide in culture, but even so still less impactful that Saint Fentanyl Floyd. Race is being used as a crux instead of getting to the heart of the real issues which are way more complex that genetic preexisting conditions one has like that amount of melatonin in their skin.
@@drnanard9605how do some events from the 90s happening, compare to the absolute shit shown we have nowadays? either you are in denial or you did not live these times
What’s most striking to me is they each demonstrated independent thinking and could articulate their thoughts. So many today regurgitate things they hear online and end up on extreme ends of the pole, unwilling to challenge their beliefs with an open mind.
@@jonnydangerous2497 I was sitting in the libary the other day and a bunch of middle school students came in bragging about how chat GPT had done their homework for them. I get the appeal, but I worry students will never develop their critical thinking skills.
Back when Social Media wasn’t able to brainwash people into thinking everyone was racist. Humans relied on actual interactions back then. We spread love instead of hate. All this hate just came in the last 10 years.
No social media back then, but some of the Hollywood agenda was actually good and benefited opening minds. Unfortunately, the agenda changed-if not in principle, then in tactics.
@@lurkwaveIts so weird going towards the end times and watching this world change so drastically. Satan's been pulling lots of strings, the anger and hurt in people world wide is at the top of the glass.
I was the only black person in my high school media class. My teacher asked me if I had been discriminated against before, and I said “No, people treat me the same as any other. I feel like we have been improving towards people being less racist.” My teacher and my class got mad at me, saying racism still exists and people are always racist etc. Very strange interaction.
26 here...sure i dont saw as much as you guys, but it's so sad to see how the world flipped. Even before we had Smartphones and stuff, everyhing was better
@@AudiRu55 I don't think this is entitely true. People fucked this up. Intentionally. They started by convincing the left that your race matters. They turn the left racist. In the second step they turned the minorities racist, or the left turned the minorities racist. Once you have widespread discrimination against you, it is far more likely you discriminate yourself, so parts of the moderate mainstream and the right started to adopt racist stances, as well. If they would have turned the moderate right racist first, the left would have fought against it and we would have ended up with a two factions one racist and one not. But nowadays, people call you racist for treating people equally. It is a nightmare. I am not denying that there was racism in the 90's, as well, but it wasn't the mainstream opinion like in todays America, where every movie is build upon a racist agenda and most big companies are racist or being pressured into being racist.
THANK YOU!!!! Everyone talking about "let's go back" "it was so much better" but do this interview now and I guarantee you that the responses will be similar
@@DoubleDrayco a couple months ago I watched a video where someone actually did this interview. Pretty much everyone who was interviewed said they are either neutral about white people or like them except for a group of two women who said they hate white people and want to resegregate society. I’m pretty sure out of all the people interviewed, that group of two women got the most screen time on the video. So although that video alone doesn’t completely prove the comment true, it is good evidence
Barack Obama came along and ruined racial relations this racial divide is caused by the idols you worship in mainstream media...I am neither white/black, just an outsiders perspective
@@joejoester8327 Obama didn't cause the race issue. I remember when he first ran for President, there was even tension then. Conservative white guys hanging effigies of him.

@@terrenceholt5215 we have taken a step back, but the 90s were not as great as this narrative of "90s kids get it." It's just not great. Every kid of their generation tends to believe it was uniquely the best. I bet the 80s were rad.
I’m not American and in my part of the World we see America’s obsession with race deeply troubling. It’s nice to see so many Americans in the comments that think the same themselves, that remember that we are all humans.
What you see being put out there about American, isn't what most of us are about. The woke BS is mostly in the big cities. Unfortunately our president is what you see, 😂😂
Most of what you see of America isn't real. You're seeing the television version. A "show" or a "narrative" created for the screen. The real version is probably very similar to wherever you are from.
Frankly, most of the western has problems with race. In Europe there aren't enough people of color for racial tensions to be as significant a problem. Europe also doesn't allow much immigration to allow it. In Australia there is a different type of racism that permeates the entire country. The indigenous Australians were almost wiped out (not just from disease). Also, see how they treat refugees from Fiji and other Melanesian islands. They are often placed in refugee camps on islands off the coast of mainland Australia (a clear act of segregation). I don't know what part of the world you're from, so I'm not going to say that you are wrong, but I do think that other western countries have little right to look down their noses at America when it is arguably the most diverse and pluralistic country in the world. America certainly has its problems, but its made strides over the years. The biggest problem in this country, is its blatant subjugation of black Americans.
@@Brandonmichaelccame in and robbed me and my family at night. Shot my dog when I was a child. Called my friends moms names and when he fought them they jumped him and Stabbed him to death. Tried to rob me for my jacket when I was a kid. Ive never had any other race do any of that. Just saying its not as uncommon as u think.
@ChaadFairservice20022 u obviously not from Chicago. We got polish, Chinese, Korean, Irish gangs. Plus more so maybe they show black on news but it's in every community or race
Remember when the biggest shows on tv were black shows and everyone loved them equally and it never even registered that you were enjoying black tv shows. It was just ENJOYABLE. PERIOD
Lots of my childhood TV shows had black families and friends: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Family Matters, Hangin With Mr Cooper, Living Single, Martin, Sister Sister, The Wayans Bros. Good memories.
Family Matters was a favorite. The Jeffersons. Fresh prince. It was never about skin pigment until someone wanted to divide the people. You treat people how you want to be treated. I was raised that way and albeit it's much harder these days to be nice to strangers, still try. There's always going to be someone that just doesn't like you. I knew even as a child I was never going to be friends with everyone, but I still try. Oh and In Living Color was another great show.
Yea, I recall back then, the goal was to not consider someone's color as relevent... whereas about 8 years ago, the argument began popping up that you're now racist if you do that, because you arent considering the travesty of what it's like to be Black in America... and do more because if it.
I was hoping someone else caught that! It was the young buck sitting there behind her lmao! But, man.... as many have said above... we have really regressed! Sad.
@@ThehatedPOOPTATO Thanks. At the time of writing that I had the word on the tip of my tongue but couldn’t quite place it for some reason. Brain fart I suppose.
The media has. I think most people still feel this way. I think most people just want to live their lives and have no ill will towards anyone. The media just LOVE division. They constantly make the minority of fringe crazies into a much larger population than they are.

@@TSanders99 A lot of urban black dialect differences have their origins in certain parts of the South, because different counties sent most of their population to the same cities. Lots of Mississippi went to St Louis and Chicago, not the East Coast. There's a lot of patterns created by this that linguists have studied.
Which means we should be a stronger family, imho. Picnic and hash this thing out... Someone bring the ribs and greens, my pale self will bring the mayo sandwiches and fruit salad!
Graduated high school in 1991, Grew-up in a black neighborhood, most of my friends and teammates were black throughout all my years of school. We never had issues regarding race, we treated each other the same. We were all good friends. Race baiters, race profiteering, and greedy politicians are why it is an issue. We have way more in common than we have differences.
As a 55 year old born in 1969 (and was 21 in 1990), thank you for posting this. Because I thought I had lost my mind with the fixation on race and racism in the last 10 years. I truly came up in a blessed time when racial harmony, not division, was the goal. I'm not crazy. It really WAS that way.
I've noticed another major difference in the generations. When out on a walk or run, watch how different age groups react when you pass them going the other way. Older than 65, people will mostly say something - a hello, or how are you, etc. Older than 40, they will acknowledge you, often nod or even say hello. Under 30, frequently won't even make eye contact unless you speak to them first, and EVEN THEN will sometimes still walk by without speaking.
I remember those days. I remember in HS having debates with people about abortion and race and government systems and war and nobody ever got emotional or hostile and we all just debated the ideas. Now, people are so emotionally wrapped up in things, you get blocked on X if you disagree wtih someone or they have massive meltdowns and try to doxx you and attack your credibility as a person instead of just discussing a topic and exchanging ideas and learning.
Race was rarely even brought up when I went to school 90s and early 2000s. When it was, almost always in humor that would now be considered a racist attack
It’s crazy! I think after 911, it just traumatized the world enough to make the ignorance flourish. Remember when we ( I’m 50 too) could talk it out Donahue-style and get points across without having crazy verbal or physical violence? Well…if you watched Morton Downey…..
it's tribalism, america can't work because some races are too dumb to see past race (it's just black people). That's literally it. edit: added clarification of who the problem is

It's wild to have grown up in the 90's and now seeing how culture has devolved over time. We didn't realize how good we had it back then, we couldn't foresee how backwards everything was going.
@@everythingallin4905 Yeah. And, at least around here in Chicago, the early 90s were more violent than they are now (849 murders in 1990, and it peaked at over 900 in 1992. Now it's not great, but it's a third less). People have extremely selective memories. Racism, to my memory, was much more open then. Our highschool chanted "buckwheat" at a black kid openly in a basketball game in the early 90s. I have kids in elementary and middle school now, in Chicago, and they are far more sensitive on issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation now than we were back in the 80s and 90s.

I agree with the people -we are all the same; there still is racists of all colors out there, but they are the “minority”, and institutional racism may still exist at some level, but let’s face it-we all the same brothers and sisters in Christ, so let’s start living, listening, and being who we are--the same.

@anjieobasa1871 for the past decade we've all been increasingly told we're victims. Not to the powrful ppl governing or corporations, but just whyte ppl in general. Every group is given a scapegoat to blame all our problems on, so nothing is resolved and conflict increases. You may be too young to remember anything else. When I was raised in the 90s the prevailing narrative in media and society was that, skin color doesn't matter, it's about the actions and character of the individual. We're taught you can be anything you want if you focus. We were empowered to succeed. Now we're taught to not even try because some invisible hand is holding you down.
I’m never gonna forget that it was my first day of kindergarten when I first met both of these people. I had never seen black people or white people in person.
Never close because the United States government never repaired black Americans from the damage done through slavery and Jim Crow. They just dumped immigrants on us and now it’s totally backfired
Why does analogue VHS picture display and audio quality give off this cozy feeling to it. Just like this video when there is a slice of life time period being documented to tape it gives off the feeling like the world at that time was slow paced and easy going.
That's a very compelling question and I like your description. VHS footage often feels like little vignettes. I would imagine it's because making home movies was so common and because most of the things most of us filmed were pretty mundane, honestly. It's kind of like watching unscripted, unedited footage of regular every day life.
to put it bluntly, because it looks and sounds less like real life compared to modern footage. there's some grain and some additional noise, which gives it a dream-like, fantastic quality. and that in turn opens up a lot of space for projection, meaning that the less real it feels, the more the brain can project into it, and mostly those are gonna be positive qualities like coziness and slowness. I lived in the 90s and most of it was just as hectic as today. traffic was even worse where I live.
yea been thinking about that often. Its cool that you can find information on the internet extremely easy and fast but the price we as a sociey pay is not worth it in the end. Unfortunately kids now grow up in this environment and its impossible for them to see the light. They get defensive immediately and it's game over. I guess humankind needs to go through this phase as well. It's like the last days of Rome
There was a concerted effort from politicians and the media which I started to notice in the early 2000s. Maybe it was there longer, I don't know. Welfare programs were an important tool. Obama was an atomic bomb for the zeitgeist. At first he looked like an eloquent, cool, reasonable guy, he gave reasonable speeches, then he turned into just another psychopath trying to cash in. He completely detonated society. The internet certainly catalyzed things. It became the agora, it became entertainment, it became the new media, knowledge repository, and so on. Censorship, psyops became far more effective with FaceBook, RU-vid, Google search, Reddit, Twitter, news websites, fact checkers, etc. etc. constantly telling you what to think about things. In fact, I'm not even sure that RU-vid will allow me posting this comment, as they just remove things that are not in line with their psyop.
I often think about in The Matrix where Morpheus tells Neo that human civilization peaked in the late 20th century and that's why the Matrix chose to reproduce that era specifically. Which back then seemed too convenient since the Matrix itself released in 1999. We used to laugh at that idea. But little did we know that they may have been right after all. Certainly in terms of technology and quality of life we will make advancements but at this current time with everything going on in the world and how much division and degradation we see in a lot of the dominant societies in the world it does make you wonder.
Except it's not proof. Everyone I remember in the 90s would have watched this and then said: okay, that looks good, but what about all the other interviews that edited out?
@@Jesterix88 BS that it isn't proof of anything because these types of street interviews can so easily just show what they want to show?
