DC was the murder capitol of the USA for 4-5 years straight 88-92 almost 500 murders a year with a city less than 500K make that make sense!! I grew up in Southern VA I had cousins in DC, PG County MD and Northern VA and I would speak with them on the TELEPHONE (no cell phone back then) during this time between 88-92 and the stories they would tell me would have me scared as hell. My cousin in DC lost many people who he grew up with. This was a very bad time in America for black folks NATIONWIDE in all inner cities.

You don't know jack. The 94 crime bill made it 10x worse for Black drug offenders than Whites. This has been studied & proven in many studies. It also had writing in the bill that made "Crack" cocaine 10x more of a jailable offense than when White users just used cocaine. That same bill also had a provision called T.I.S Truth in Sentencing. Basically the more people you locked up , the more Federal money you would get. So you have drug laws that are 10x more harsh on Blacks than whites which enables you to jail more Black offenders for more Federal money. They also , took away most GED programs to rehibilitate criminals. You know where the majority of those cuts to GED programs took place?? 84% in prisons with a majority BLack population. There is even more racist provisions in that bill. You fools elected the same idiot to do it to you again. FJB

Marion Barry did this interview with coke boogers falling out his nostrils... I'm from Landover and I remember when those 5 Cats got murdered like it was yesterday.
💯 FACTS… I’ve been streaming this for decades. The whole world condemns the black folks for drugs and crime but nobody ever ask where do the drugs and guns come from. We don’t have boats or ships to bring in kilos from Columbia or fetty from China. There isn’t one gun factory in any inner city neighborhood. Have you ever heard the ATF charging anyone after tracing a gun used in a crime after they were the ones who purchased it
Don’t matter who gave it to them… they knew right from wrong and definitely know better now… yet still make the choice to screw up and fall in the traps set for them.
That argument is so weak. Anyone could go and get coke and drugs, but these people decided to go and get it. I never went to sell drugs because I’m not stupid, unlike a lot of these people.
NOW CAN YOU TELL ME WHY IS THAT???? BECAUSE FROM (2008- 2018) THE CRIME RATE WAS THE LOWEST IT HAD BEEN SINCE THE 1960s I BELIEVE THAT THE REASON THE CRIME RATE IN (DC) HAS AND IS REESCALATING IS BECAUSE IT IS A CONSPIRACY BEHIND THAT.
LIVED IN NORTH CAROLINA FROM (2010-2017) AND I WOULD CHECK UP ON DC'S AND BALTIMORE NEWS OCCASIONALLY AND I WOULD SEE THAT MOST OF THE CRIME WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE SUBURBS OR IN BALTIMORE AND ITS SUBURBS.
I live through the crack epidemic. I almost forgot how bad it was. With the opioid and opiate epidemic you die through overdose. The crack epidemic you get one to the chest..
Funny how some cities missed that whole time. There was crack in every hood then but some cities were ravished by it and some got caught up more than others. I've never seen or experienced crack or it's effects up close as a teen in the late eighties. Boring city where I'm from, but I'm glad crack didn't hit here so bad.
Trump is the return of Marion Barry. Just a different demographic. You can visit his statue just a few blocks from the White House. Then take a drive down to Marion Barry ave. Make sure you stop by 18th st se. The traditions remain proud and strong.

MAYOR FOR LIFE and I ain't even from DC but I watched his documentary, and heard he did a lot of good for the people there. Jobs. Summer programs. Actually being with the people. So he smoked crack a few times. He didn't try to deny it AND he got reelected. He didn't get hooked. He didn't become an addict. I regret I never visited DC in those days. Even if I go to visit now, it won't be the Chocolate City that I remember hearing about.

The woman in front before we tap , to see her pain was very very very real upsetting lots of youth go down came up to go down lots of paranoia everywhere the whole of the cities ma ny nj pa was very real it was pain nightmare to many young people who ended up on the other side of the gun is like either side was a no good side and still is remember ,this ,living nightmare and the whole of the city numb and running hiding and up front we all paid heavy heavy no one win,not even the cops who also lived a nightmare ,terrible and guess what it had to happen ,needed a bust out and we all paid .
Chocolate City! Back when D.C. was murder capital. 203 was a huge weed spot. They were known for the “pillow” bags of weed. Basically $20 bags stuffed full. Biggest bags in the city.
The people were begging for laws to stop the drug crisis back then so they could live a normal, crime-free, drug-free life. THAT'S WHY WE GOT THAT CRIME BILL WHICH PUT A LOT OF THOSE DEALERS WHERE THEY BELONGED...IN JAIL.
