    Just the term "monkeys" reveals intense hatred.  Disgusting

    Not for people in here. 

    "If a president says it, and another president laughs about it and later replaces monkeys with "cannibals" when retelling the oh so funny anecdote - it shouldn't be reported at all"

    Think about that for a second.

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


    Didn't get an answer from you?

    No one thinks it shouldn’t be reported. But it’s own thread wasn’t needed. Could have just as well gone in the Republican Party thread. And the snarky “US darling” preface is just you being you.

    In fairness, St. Ronald is a US darling.  That's why he lost only DC and Minnesota (his opponent's home state) in 1984.  And I don't think there's a right and wrong about whether it is in its own thread...but there does seem to be a lot of people annoyed that we'd dare talk about the things that Ronald Reagan said. 

    Maybe this thread would have gone over better if someone else had started it. In any case, there's no way this was not going to be reported once it came out.  It just is bizarre that it came out right now.

    I don't think history has been as kind to Reagan as the present was to him.

    A lot of people in this thread have expressed it shouldn't be reported. 

    Why wouldn't a thread about it be needed - it's two presidents having some racist-fun? One of them actually being a "US darling". "The party of reagan" etc. 

    Stop being colored by whatever you feel about me when posting. It makes your post come of as silly.

    Whatever. You’re just trying to be an instigator when you title your post like that.

    When he types anything. But he keeps the ability to type. Threads get locked and other people get blamed. It’s nonsense.

    If OP wanted to be more accurate, he would have said "Republican Darling" as opposed to "US Darling" but details like that probably don't matter if you're going to end up generalizing all the people who give less than satisfactory replies anyway.

    You need to find out. Because no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about. You need to find a way for what you want to say. But before tomorrow.

    You successfully proved Ledbetter's point. 81% of the polled disagree with your title,  evidently.

    Yeah that’s fine but the thread could have been “Report: Ronald Reagan once called back people monkeys” or something. Just like the ASAP Rocky thread didn’t need the “token black guy” stuff. But again, whatever. It’s just a message board. You be you.

    Why would they disagree?
