2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie supporters. Please stop promoting that Hillary is loosening her stance on cannabis. [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)82. Many blacks got good Jobs under Bill. We remember.
My family got to go from the nasty rat infested place on Adams above the tireshop to an apartment in the valley with a POOL. By the time Bill's term ended we lived in a house in Oceanview, up here in Anchorage. Look up oceanview. Nice area of town. Went to Service High School until 11 grade. It's on Hillside, check out Hillside. It's the rich area. That happened for MANY of us. We subsidized our poorer relatives. We got lucky as hell.
