Here, I did an interview with my Mom who lived through the 1990's.
Kristal M., "How did the Rodney King verdict affect you and your city during the 1990's?"
Krishena M., " It was the first viewing of police brutality for my generation. Kids in my age group started to become afraid of the police."
Kristal M., "Life was good during the later part of the 90's when the economy started to have a surplus of money. How did you feel about this then?"
Krishena M., "I was a college student at the time and I wasn't really conscious of the situation."
Kristal M., "How do you think we can get back to that time period of having a surplus of money?"
Krishena M., " I don't believe we can continue to send so much money outside of the U.S. for aid and wars. Also, U.S. companies need to stop relocating their businesses to foreign lands. If a company wants to continue to keep its operations international, they should be subject to a special tax for the privilege. We also need to stop importing the majority of the items that U.S. consumers use and rebuild our manufacturing industries in the U.S. I believe these measures will help to stabilize and improve our jobs market, and in turn improve our gross domestic product, our gross national product, and our gross domestic income."
Kristal M., "Music in the 90's started to become less censored in certain genres. Did you and your parents get into any arguments about the music you would listen to?"
Krishena M., " My mother definitely yelled at me for some the rap music I used to listen to like Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., and Lil' Kim. Every generation tries to push the envelope and when she was young, Elvis Presley's pelvis was a national menace.
