“Jheri Redding (born Robert William Redding March 2, 1907 – March 15, 1998) was an American hairdresser, chemist, hair care products entrepreneur and businessman. Redding is best known for having created the Jheri curl.”
However, we can also pay homage to Comer Cottrell who decided we all needed dirty pillow shams, and sweaty necks.This man created a greasy hot sweaty mess on the necks of all our relatives in the early 1970’s and 1980’s and the 90’s decided it was enough of this Armor Oil foolishness.
I remember my mom had this epidemic, and we were in the restaurant, “California Dreaming” and the salad was of course saturated with plum tomatoes, and I bit into one, and the juice from the tomato burst into her hair and she didn’t notice a thing.
In 1984 at the beginning of “The Crack Epidemic” we were told that we had to “Just Say No To Drugs.”
Who the hell said, “Yes!” it wasn’t the community,so who created the game?
I am not aware of any hustler in the hood that has his own jet to fly crack through the friendly skies.
Can Tyrone standing on the corner crank up his jet,fly over and bring back product or powder to flood the streets?
Does Latorya have a compass and a Passport to Nicaragua?
You know the answer to both of those questions.
If it is damn near impossible for us to flood the country and we would laughed if someone asked, don’t you think it was a fairytale back then to make all that money?
Don’t you think we were set up in 1984, when the fantasy became a financial and ethical nightmare?
We were systematically drugged and controlled by the Crack Epidemic and the families our still struggling from it.
If daddy is doing a bid, and mom has to raise 3 little girls and a son or older brother wants to be “the man of the house” that sparks the flame…
If you create those prison boxes and caskets to put men in, that community loses a builder, teacher, and protection.
It is that simple to chip away at the family structure.
You can tell when a crack head became addicted.
Look at the way they are dressed.
Most crack addicts dress in the era that they were sober.
It is a dead give away that they were cracked out in the 1980’s, if they have a side pony tail , patent leather shoes and a hot pink Wind Breaker Jacket.
The drug epidemic broke us completely down, and even if everyone stopped slinging crack now the damage has caused prisons to be flooded, and caskets to be lowered.
Dreams were deterred and the families lost daddy, and the family structure to the game.
Now, we can attempt to bring our communities back, but the force and the poison tested on us will not go away, and once again it was not administered by us,but we suffer.
Who wanted to ruin our society?
In 1984 Government officials could not segregate us legally.
They used the crack epidemic to segregate us chemically and mentally,and their mission was a success.
San Jose Mercury News journalist Gary Webb sparked national controversy with his 1996 Dark Alliance series which alleged that the influx of Nicaraguan cocaine started and significantly fueled the 1980s crack epidemic. Investigating the lives and connections of Los Angeles crack dealers Ricky Ross, Oscar Danilo Blandon, and Norwin Meneses, Webb alleged that profits from these crack sales were funneled to the CIA-supported Contras.[8] Although Webb never claimed that the CIA directly aided drug dealers, it echoed the Kerry Committee conclusion that the CIA was aware of large shipments of cocaine into the U.S. by Contra personnel.[8]-Wikipedia
Gary Webb is not lying to you.
We did not have the capacity and the financial backing to flood the streets, but the friendly skies were open to those who could afford it, and no one would think to check our Central Intelligence…
The men who possessed our Central Intelligence used cracked up pieces of soap to control our minds and spirits.
The government and used our community and livelihood to destroy our dignity and culture.
We have Crack Addicted babies that become hustlers and sell it to the new breed of addicts.
No one in America hates their own, we were controlled, abandoned in a jungle full of addiction and ghost of former ancestors, that now have disease, poverty, and violence.
“We let others still our royalty, and confused money with loyalty.” ***messymandella***
