Was Ronald Reagan a racist sonofabitch?

In a taped call with Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan described the African delegates to the United Nations in luridly racist terms. Take a LISTEN:

President Ronald Reagan was the best president that we have had.

@Smart23 If he deviated from his horoscope, he must have been one of the worst.
@Smart23 And you know that at your age because............FOX told u that. Ask someone who lived under him as prez. He was the president that started taxing retirements........Social Security. He created more national debt in his 8 years than the U.S. had in the previous 200 years----COMBINED. Look it up. Reagan created the concept of "Trickle Down Economics"-------which means the rich have every right to get all the tax breaks..all the wealth they can accumulate at the expense of everyone else....because at some point when they spend a dime of that money...the "little people" will get some of it. he was racist. He did nothing unless his "spiritualist" read it in Taro Cards that he should. And for the last 18 month to 24 months he was prez he had dementia so badly others had to do his job for him. Look this up. it's all out there.

@strangerthanfiction My point proven, thanks. 50% of society has zero comprehension skills....or the intelligence to look for or believe facts when they are out there--easy to find--and right in front of them. Thanks.

@Smart23 He was far from the best. In fact, we could attribute more to Nancy than Ronald.

@Smart23 Trump is just the rotting fruit that came from the seed Reagan planted. A downhill skid starts someplace. That first dip into racism, abuse of the middle and lower income classes came at the hand of Reagan..and has gotten worse ever since. Trump is the worst..........so far. Now that the GOP sees what elected Trump---cheating, racism, hatred, acting like a crass asshole----that route to power will be repeated by the GOP from now on. Count on it.

@Smart23 Reagan was as corrupt as the rest. Google Iran-Contra.
