Four to Eight Years

HINDSIGHT #145

“A Clueless Person perspective”

Our country elects a guy that usually send the country together, give us illusions of greatness, or divide us. Each year of my natural living life I’ve seen the difference in how this country evolved for the better and for the worse. When I was a kid, I was born in the Nixon era. Not knowing too much about that era except for the watergate incident and the post Viet-nam war in which I learned about it later in life.

My father is a 2-time purple heart recipient that met Nixon at the white house after that war to receive his noble hearts. He took a picture with him after recovering from losing his leg and shrapnel in his back that missed his heart and spine by inches, he was gone out of my life. Just like that. Sheesh! Gone not because he died. Gone due to PTSD and other shit my mother told me he’s done to her and the one incident that he tried to drown me, I vaguely remember as a child. I didn’t get to see him again until when Regan was president.

Ford was the next President and still I was too young to know of his agenda. I know he was as democrat and my stance on democrats is not what “Black” people may feel about their way of helping them. Know your history people. I was raised and taught that republicans are bad and their agendas are to make the rich…
