Comment is made in 1971; I am trying to understand why this is a story.
Slow news day I guess? This kind of stuff gives me a bad taste for the media and their constant pot stirring. If I said “hey, Lincoln said some pretty racist shit” (which he did), is it really going to blow anyone’s mind at this juncture?
Ace Frehley uses "at this juncture" so often it has become a meme in the KISS community.
And, why be so defensive of Reagan? Why not report on him having said black people were monkeys who couldn't even tie their shoes? It obviously adds a new perspective on the man. Or is racism so normalised to you two that you feel the need to take this defensive position?
Philadelphia Mississippi. We're all way ahead of you.
Bro I ve had kids crying after I taught that lesson. You can hear a pin drop when I am going through my presentation. That is some rough stuff right there. Did you see that mrs Bryant admitted to making the whole thing up?
You mean that Emmit never said a word? Yes.. horrible.

Yeah. I believe she admitted to it on her deathbed. What an absolute pos.

Saying it about black people of any country is wrong. Full stop. That 40 years later repubs continue to nominate, and voters continue to elect, racists is why what Ronny Rayguns said 49 years ago is relevant today.

Im pretty most of our parents made a disparaging remark in 71, regardless of the country of origin.
Um, a LOT of people in 1971 actually did not call black people monkeys. I can't believe you think that "most" people said stuff like that at that time. I guarantee you that my parents would NEVER use that language when talking about black people, and have never use any kind of racist slurs... And my parents are actually kind of racist! Even some racist people would think that was unacceptable in 1971 FFS.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
People in here defacto defending and wanting news to not cover the Governor of California calling the President of the USA being racist as fuck and the President laughing.
Amazing.
Talk about regressive.

I said disparaging, not monkey. So you say your parents were a little racist. Doesn't that support my point? The word my parents tended to use was "ethnic", which was ironic since my dad was born in the Ukraine.

Correction. The CA Governor and President in 1971. No one (that I’ve seen) is condoning his comments. I just think most people don’t see how comments from 50 years ago are relevant today.
That would only be true if such comments really were in the past and we could all shake our heads and wonder who would say such a thing. Unfortunately, since modern day republicans are willing to say some pretty outrageously racist things in public, I think it’s safe to say that some of them are still using words like “monkey” in private.

Sounds like racism apologists to me. What does it matter if it was in 1971? It is still an unheard recording of the President laughing while the then future President is being a big ol´racist.
Ofc its news. Unless one has murky reasons for feeling the need to downplay it.

^ Maybe. Who knows. If so, that’s sad. I’m just referring to the facts (I.e. the Reagan story from 1971) and not speculating on who says what in private today.

I don’t care what it sounds like to you. Keep stirring the pot though.

Okey, but you quote me and push what you "think" on me? So.. do you think I should care about that?

You keep using that term, yet I haven’t seen anyone apologize for his awful comments. So why do you insist on using that term and painting everyone with a broad brush? Oh yeah...you enjoy stirring the pot. That’s why. Raegan’s comments were terrible. My point is, why is this a story in 2019 when he said it in 1971? We have enough other shit to focus on and fix in present day.

Why was Shadow of your Love a story in 2018 when it was recorded in 86-87?

When it was said doesn’t matter. Some people in America think ol’ racist Reagan was the second coming of Christ and he is still a staple for an Republican to “prove” how Republican they are by praising and quoting the guy. Was slavery not as bad since it was 400 years ago. “Different times man.” Racism and the abuse of humans was wrong then and it’s wrong now. Verbally and physically it’s wrong. And to hear someone that people immortalize and set as the Gold candidate for all who come after. Maybe it proves that ol Ronnie was a racist scumbag that shouldn’t be worshipped.
There is zero irony here. Do you even know what irony is? Your constant reaching for something, whatever, to throw out there "just because"sure is something.
And why are you, and your little friend @PJPOWER, always bringing in Sweden into the conversation? What has Sweden to do with Reagan and Nixon being racist in a phonecall?

ACCEPTING RACISM TO OWN THE SWEDES
I don't see the logic.
