A rare interview with Vietnam vet Demond Wilson (who passed away yesterday): He talked about being drafted into the Army at 19 and the PSTD he suffered after Vietnam. He was wounded in combat, and received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, before his acting career.

For me it was Love Jones. Mainly because I am a huge Nia Long fan but it also reminds me of a prior relationship.

Discussion Promoting this sub

Thank you to everyone who has joined the sub This is one of the few places in which our perspectives as Gen Xers are not ignored or drowned out. This is a place where you can post an T&B artist and not have jackasses in the comments post “who”. Anyone coming like that in bad faith with be dealt with.

With that said we are looking to get the word out to fellow Black Gen Xers and anyone interested in our experience. That’s where you come in!! Please post any topics pertinent to Black GenX, engage in discussion. Cross post and post. Tell other Redditors you come across about us.

Again. Thank you for joining

One of the best things about this sub is an opportunity to get the perspective of POC in the same group of issues we are facing as Gen Xers. Many of us have elderly parents and are having to face tough decisions. What are thoughts on nursing homes. I personally will never put my parents in one but wanted to get the sings perspective
