Because they had their own distinct culture and kept to it, also it was before the crime explosion turned shitty black communities into actively dangerous shitty black communities
Ian Powell
They weren't entitled little fuckers.
Henry Edwards
Less drugs, gangs were in their infancy
Luis Brooks

Samuel Harris
Because they spent their money on disco-clothes and not guns and chicken nuggets

Lots of reasons, after the first riots in the 60s whites were leaving the cities but honestly they were not hell holes yet. Crack was not around, Memphis, Little Rock, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, LA, and most of the south were beginning their downward trend, but it wasn't noticeable then. Cities were twice as dense and public transit still viable, suburbs were expanding but we didn't have country sized "metropolitan areas" yet that allowed for us to isolate ourselves in either ghettos or suburbia, urban decay was less of a problem for most places because most folk still had enough sense to not fall for the home ownership meme.
Ironically, it was New York that faced the worst crime and poverty then, and it had a reputation of sucking and becoming more black because suburbs hit NYC before anywhere else also Boston to some extent. They were the first with black gang crime and drug use, but it had not spread to everywhere else yet. Because of gentrification and reinvestment NYC got its shit together, and Harlem is actually full of rich people now. But everywhere else is like 8 times more hopeless than NYC in the 70's especially black city communities because they lost their identity, crack and meth is everywhere, people don't want work, and don't want to live next to whites while keeping a seperate identity that's any where close to productive and community positive (unless they are tru baptists or something) so yeah, American cities now suck dick if they had a historic black population.

The 70's in black america is like the 50's for white america
Pure nostalgic good times
Oliver Allen
In all honesty, at the cost of sounding like an sjw, oppression breeds good art, that's why the blacks created jazz, blues, soul food, soul music, rock and roll, and led the disco shit in the 70s. Nowadays, blacks aren't oppressed anymore, so they make shit art like everyone else.
William Morales
Because they werent niggers back then, and now we have jews at the helm of the black population.
Landon Hall
Ronald Reagan hadn't flooded the ghetto with CIA brand crack cocaine yet
Ryder Howard
Because they weren't
Aiden Cooper
Civil rights movement in the 1960's made niggers normal in the eyes of most Americans, so naturally the decade after would be a good one for niggers because they were aloud to do things.
Michael Jones
The white devil ruins everything
Landon Gray
Without gubmint bennies e real oppreshunz they actually had to strive if they wanted to get ahead in life
Now they have no incentive to do so

You don't seem like you're memeing, and actually like this music (like I do), then you have to check out Leon Bridges. He's incredible. From Ft. Worth, Texas area.

These days the intelligent/successful black men and women mix their genes into the white and latino gene pools
Black people will never make progress when their best people mix themselves away, and their worst live off of state welfare, while breeding exponentially
It won't get better unless there is a major social collapse and cooperation / family / hard work become the difference between life and death for your children
Connor Cooper
Black people made good music once
They had a culture
Leftists turned them into their slaves while claiming they loved them
Jordan Clark
No, the blame lies on nobody but the black people of the 70s who decided that gangsta culture was the epitome of cool. If you took the average black person and raised them in a good black family, they could be expected to be as respectable as the average white. It doesn't work if you raise a black kid in a good white family, because he will feel like he doesn't belong and he'll cling to the black culture he sees on the TV and at school.

>it was before the crime explosion turned shitty black communities into actively dangerous shitty black communities
Nigga what, the 70s is when niggers went FULL chimp-out mode. See: the tons of NY/Detroit/Chicongo riots, the Hi-Fi murders, the rise of the crips/bloods and other assorted gangs, tons of immigration from Haiti, rise of black drug and AIDS epidemic, Black Power domestic terrorism, urban decay... niggers of today are tame compared to these days.

70s was actually when black crime peaked though.
Andrew Sullivan
But how did gangster Rap came to be? If not how the government dealt with its black subjects

Late 70s was turning point of pure shit, the entitlements. The hatred for the "man" and all that retarded shit that ended up ruining it for nigger generations to come.
Joseph Collins
Not memeing, i really like the music.
It's nice to hear black people make 'real' music for a change.
One of my favorites:
Jaxson Johnson
Jonathan Evans
Gosh, negroes sure are a musical people aren't they?
