Parts of the video that related to me the most:

5:55 - Richard Nixon "I didn't do anything".
6:05 - I just got my learners permit.
7:44 - Sneaking in drive-ins to watch rated R movies when I was 15. Just the drive-ins in general were fun.
9:04 - I saw so many cousins and friends of mine's parents get divorces during the 70's.
11:18 - I practically graduated right into that recession
11:26 - I was standing in one of these long lines that circled the building. I also ran into a first cousin the same age as me at one of these lines, but after we talked for a few seconds, it felt like I had to see him as a competitor - big mistake. It felt like he gave me the cold shoulder ever since. Sometimes I think he wound up getting that job, because he does that kind of work as a side hustle til this day- I think it's a side hustle.
11:47 - This was me except I was Black, wearing a Burger King hat instead- and I had just completed my freshman year at U of MD. To make matters worst, the Burger King was right up the road from the College Park campus I stayed my freshmen year. To make matters even worst, I got fired.
15:35 - When Ronald Reagan made it ok for White people to be racist.
17:24 - The Whoppers were really that big back then - ask me how I know. They made them fresh too. The buns even had grill marks.
29:05 - News Flash!
31:41 - How did we get the blame?
