Check out our previous episode, Growing Up Black: New Orleans... ruclips.net/video/x6vpo83soIk/видео.html
Brooklyn here! But I rep my City periodt!! I recently left Atlanta and couldn’t deal with that mentality. Here in Richmond Virginia- closer to home but Nyc is very congested. I get my fill and go to a quiet 🤫 place..
no i dont think i will
@@mariambey6072 ..
Cali girl born and raised (as are my sisters) but my oldest sister has lived in Rego Park over 20 years. I absolutely love visiting her. Harlem is my favorite spot. It's been years since I've been there. I'm due for a NY-cation after this pandemic subsides. I love it!
Great way to capture what growing up black in different cities looks like. Being raised in the south by parents who were from NY and were raised in two of the worse projects in Brooklyn...the stories they’ve told me from the 60s, 70s, and 80s were eye opening. I’m glad this type of content is being shared for the world to see.
no one cares you're black. shut up about it
and what are your stories going to be? pseudo oppression?
@@convertible4925 other black people do😁
Lol stories from the 60s, 70s and 80s? I think the oppression discussed would be far from "pseudo".
I came from the same back ground even though I grew up in both new york an down south but I'm a new Yorker
crack took out a whole generation
And two generations after that
Man the crack epidemic took out lots of people in the east coast NYC, New Jersey more states; hard in school teachers have insights on drugs crack I am from Dallas, TX drugs hit heavy as well most would laugh or joke this is neither my mind, voice had no words just listen.
@@toyahill4151 hit heavily in san Francisco and Oakland, ca, I'm from San Francisco a few of my good friends got caught up and died,
@@blossom866 right San Francisco, Oakland, LA lots of states it was too many to name many down the line it hurts to hear when a person looses someone effected by the crack epidemic so sorry that is why I just listen when topics like this are discussed mainly I get angry at the govt they turn a deaf ear.
@@Boudicaisback that is why I could not name all drugs glad you did many to name some we do not hear about for instance mixed up drugs down to k2 teens taught nothing will harm them at the time.
My favorite new show on VH1!!!! I love seeing and hearing about how black people grew up and this reminded me that it’s obvious the judicial system definitely needs to be reformed because it disproportionately affects black people especially men who are extremely important to any family. We need more shows like this🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You need to shut your pseudo oppressed mouth cry baby.

There ain’t nothing like sitting on the stoop in Brooklyn with your friends just chilling. Playing games. Having block parties in the summer. No city like mine. #Brooklynite
Peace Imani born and raised in NY, Coney Island Hospital 1978. They don’t know about the chillin on da stoop, playing handball in the park, skating at Empire… $1 pizza what about the dirty dogs across the bridge she went way back. And no city around throws block parties like Brooklyn! love my borough #bedstuytilthedayidie
Another awesome episode, VH1!!! As a fellow NYer, I resonate with everything shared. There's a synergy in NY like no other place. I want to shout out all the gems shared in this video-- if you're not aware of what the three-fifths clause was or the dehumanization of black and brown peoples for centuries in policies and all systems has been, please look into learning more about it. From the earliest days that I can remember in academia to grad school, I was always the only black student with a disability in my classes. At the same time, I'm so thankful for my learning opportunities it did teach me to be aware of exceptionalism, the current segregation that still exists, and why it's essential to bridge gaps. Salute to all the speakers and continue to be change-makers. ♡ to NYC
Always representing home 💜 there’s no place like New York. I never realized how big New York was until I left home but ima make it my business to explore New York 🗽🗽
"When I got my scholarship to that great university called prison". That was deep
Not rrally
not really
Look-a-here! You cannot tell ME what was deep to ME!!!
@Shawn John I didn't say anything about glorifying his bad decision! WHAT I SAID WAS the brother did the crime, did the time but LEARNED VALUABLE LESSONS. Prison was his personal university. Some people have to go through certain things to get the lesson. That's what he had to go through. He recognizes that and so do I
@Shawn John and I repeat, no one can tell ME what's deep to ME and what I gleaned from what he said - period
Raising the bar for content at vh1 we love to see it! What city is next????
Chicago🌁 or Los Angeles.🌇 I would like 2 see. Surprise me Vh1!📺🎬🎥🎞️
I seen the New Orleans piece real people in these cities most do not grasp livelihoods great way to learn.
Boston

@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 yes Boston was huge on the drug epidemic Benzino always got something to say he from there also New Edition anyway cocaine, heroin hit Boston. I miss the old Celtics Bball team.
DC!
If I was rich, I’d buy property in each burrow and rotate each year🤩
As a native Harlem girl (born in 1986), I sympathize with this video. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
If you were born in 86 you experienced the Best of Times Growing up 🤞🏾 Born in 86 myself. It feels like we were kids Yesterday
@@MrDudareal absolutely
You feel sympathy for the video? That doesn't make sense
@@Boudicaisback maybe you just ed🤷🏽♀️
@@Myflopera1 lol what? I think she meant empathy
“One Gucci bag in a Louis Vuitton bag” - yass 😂😂😂😍😍
But yet they cant afford to leave the hood
Every single time I reply to you my comment is deleted. I try to have educated discussions with people like you but youtube wont allow it. Sorry
@@Boudicaisback happens to me a lot RUclips censors what they find “offensive” and calls it an http 404

They could’ve done New York ALOT better than this...
$1 slice of pizza in NYC? Those days are LONG gone. I guess maybe she was referring to her childhood. I remember when a slice was $1...it was the early to mid 90s.
No they still do that
Where have you been getting your pizza
Nope, still happens here.
@@JuaniqueVerde Where and is it decent pizza? I'm not referring to those spots where Mexicans make pizza.
@Allison Edwards Oh okay. Yeah, I don't go to those spots. That's bootleg pizza lol. I guess I'm a pizza snob. lol
This city has the gritty and the pretty.👛🌸🌺💄👠🌆 Culture, food🥘🍚🐔🌽. Music.📻
I love this. Love New York. Love being black. Love black culture. Love these black stories. Love the black liberation. ✊🏾❤️👏🏽
Black power 🤘 black supremacy 🙌

It’s neat how racism has become mainstream again
Brooklyn!!!!!!!

I’m from Washington DC but it’s no place like NYC it’s my second home it’s a beautiful place with beautiful characters and images.. if you’re a creative you really understand.
I'll be in DC for Thanksgiving. Haven't been in 4 years. I miss new york tho🥺

I swear I love me some New York and I ain't even from there I'm chi town born and raised baby but I'm New York at heart 🗽
I'm Georgia born and raised, but love N.Y too
Stan the man !!! Salute to you king glad to see you doing great things! That line about “this university called prison” was powerful !!
I mentioned that quote about prison university and people jumped down my throat 🤣. I'm glad I'm not the only one who got it 👍
My grandmother said if it's not in new york then they dont make it
New York is a beautiful state and city. New Yorker are creative and very active and proud people who love culture, adventures, and very none racist people Ik cuz they love people who are different and they help people to be more motivated and hard working people to achieve goals that they probably never thought they would get too
NYC Is Like the Best City Ever Like come on now who doesn’t want to go Visit NYC this Month We Should Celebrate BLACK History Month With all the Black Queens And every Color we love
black history month is keeping us separated. black history is american history. white people arent special due to the color of their skin and neither are you.
Too much racism in New York City.
Bronx in the building! 168 💪🏾✨✨✨
ayee Gunhill Road seymour but work on 167 hey fellow boogie lol
Just keep on following your dreams ....everythinh is possible..just respect yourself and love yourself

Growing up black in nyc is like being wet in water.
Ooooh snap snap #DJClarkKent the man of steal 🎛🎤🎧I'm in his SundayScqool💃🏾 class every sunday Faithfully this is a dope show growing up #BLACK is hard believe me i know🖤🖤✊🏾i have visit the 🗽big apple🍎NYC soon
Watching the Atlanta episode then coming to the nyc episode. I think nyc needs a redo 😭. First of all the street therapist is giving me liar vibes. The series is black in your city. Then you have a lady talking about identifying with white ppl. Which is fine but that’s not why we came here. It was great to see Tamara but that also steered left. I think they had the formula perfected with Atlanta.
I left NYC in 1980, but it will always be home!
I love Tamara !!!! lol
This is really about Caribbeans growing up in NYC.
A good portion of the blacks in new york city are of Caribbean decent but we are all still black at the end of the day just a different part of the diaspora
@@unrulytdott2824
I know already a majority of the blacks in NYC are Caribbean.
And black is not black in NYC. I know this for a fact.
@@unrulytdott2824 uh no we arent the same people stfu
It’s because of how much immigration increased over the past 15 years lol. I swear you can’t even find black American history in Ny no more it’s sad as hell!
@@rocsteadyh.o.g4247 This mentality is really sad and regressive.
BORN IN BROOKLYN, RAISED IN QUEENS!!!! JUUUUUUHEARDDDDDD!🗣❤️
I grew up in Nevada. Mostly white school. Like 5 Mexicans and 3 black people. The black kids were the rich kids. Most of the white people were poor and the 5 Mexicans were poor. I was one of the Mexican kids.
You see thank god I’m from Brooklyn smh
Legendary Clark Kent!
Would love to see Los Angeles
Brooklyn number one
No Matter how Difficult it is and How Much People dislike it.
New York City is The Greatest Metropolitan Center in the History of the Universe.😉😉😉
There NY accent lovely
"New York New York, big city of dreams
But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law and I know my way around

Snoop Dogg has a remix of same song.
NYC/ THE BIG🍎
Brooklyn to the ❤ 🙌🏾
What’s up Broski 🦋
I wish they highlighted the immigrant population more. A lot of West Indians live in New York City- Brooklyn and Bronx to be exact.
Exactly. I’m born and raised in Charlotte NC but my dads side is from the Bronx and Dominican. They should’ve represented that
They don’t have too. Black Americans were here and established long before y’all?? Why are y’all like this lol everybody knows it’s endless immigrants in ny
@@rocsteadyh.o.g4247 Xenophobic much?
@@rocsteadyh.o.g4247 Here you come with that " FBA " talk ... My grandmother is from DR and she was here before many Black Americans even thought about moving here.. STFU.. That xenophobic talk dont work in NYC ... we are all black
@@3NYC3 your a dam lie. My family was in Nyc since the 1900’s. Before immigrants flooded Nyc. I dnt care what y’all Latinos and West Indians call yallselves. We black n proud. This comment was a hating comment trying to discredit black Americans
Show the civil war happening between different black gangs in NY for the past few decades, and how shootings of black people skyrocketed after the NYPD’s Shootings division was dissolved.
vh1 need a "growing up black stl", represting my city!!...
@VH1 Need to do a growing up black in Philadelphia
I love this ! Let’s go VH1 👏🏽
I’m Brooklyn baby 😇 NYC on top
And, why did she use an outdated quote from Malcolm X? And she didn’t even explain herself well enough.
This is the 2nd video I’ve seen where something is missing and at this point the fact that no one sees the issue or makes sure to not let it happen is interesting
🤔??
I know what you mean
Represent my 🇧🇿
My dream place to live in
The talk about Affirmative Action by THOSE students is ironic considering that statistically W.W benefit from it more.
I Soo look forward to seeing more, hearing more of this dialogue.
❤️☮️
id like to see a video of…what its like growing up diabetic in ontario….
Mecca of the culture ya erd lol.
Corny culture
Id like to hear about growing up with disabilities in kan-sas
My city
Yurrrrrrr I LOVE BEING BLACK #FLATBUSH2thabone
Oh SHUSH UP
fun. Gucci products are very popular in Indonesia
Goochi Goo and Luis too.
Replikaz
How they do this without Azelia Banks
The only thing I Didnt care for alot of negativity unlike Atlanta lot of hardship not real emphasis on our music culture fashion it needed more positive things
I feel like that made it have more depth, the Atlanta one was a little more superficial to me
What’s it like growing up white in NYC? ✊🏻
Privileged duh
Awesome I can imagine. It's not 1920 😃
It’s alright. Very diverse
Hey I was born on jan27 too
It’s great growing up black in New York City tried growing up white in New York City in the projects want to talk about black racist man
Heads up. All these things that you think are very “New York” things, are very everywhere things.
QUEENS GET THE MONEY!🌐🌉
Yall got the beef patty karen I'm out 😆✌
Not bad
You know.... I ALWAYS didn't understand why (a lot of) black people are not "with" (standing with) the LGBTQIA in this world. The similarities, and familiarities, that is called "hate", SHOULD guarantee their unity!!... But it doesn't. And that's sad because they can clearly stand tall together!
💯!!!
Bronx born 1989. S/O to PC
This was positive and all but I don’t like the way they did NYC
2:25 1987? You sure she wasn’t born 1967?
Y’all need Jesse lee Peterson
East Flatbush is really a different world lol you can’t even compare life experiences with New York City
Queens get the money #QGTM
10:37... This brother (turned binary) says we were 3/4 human, but he meant we were 3/5 human.
That's a dude
I was raised in New York but not the city. I couldn't imagine living in the city I know they have had great times but when I go to visit I get taken a back because it's so big and where I went there wasn't enough grass .
Deblasio NY is dangerous
I have a question I'm 12 year old and I'm about to be living in nyc would I be growing up there
I mean would I grow up there
Yes your just not born here 12 means u would be in middle school so of course you will actually be a freshman middle school so yes
@@natashabobb6859 Would I be raised there cause ... my mom didn't teach me anything .And my grandma said when I go to NYC she would teach me 🤔
Yes
Pretty much u will be
Comments pog
😂😂😂❤❤
Chopped cheese 😩
I'm not speaking Spanish no more
