Ronald Reagan called black people "monkeys" on tape - and "damned" them
"It was a different time!"
"So what? We already knew."
"Damn you liberals for seeing racism...where there's racism!"
"Good!"
That should cover 90% of deplorable responses on this one
National Archives releases Reagan's racist call with then-President Nixon, ex-Reagan library director says
In the call, he says, Reagan is heard apparently referencing the way the Tanzanian delegation started dancing in the General Assembly when the UN took the vote to seat the delegation from Beijing instead of Taiwan.
Reagan, Naftali writes, is heard saying to Nixon, "Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did."
Nixon interjected: "Yeah."
Reagan continued, "To see those, those monkeys from those African countries -- damn them, they're still uncomfortable wearing shoes!"
