[a fool in paradise]

More Hollyweird revisionist history from the marketers of gangsta culture and Boondocks liberalism.

[a fool in paradise]

Snoop has done a lot to promote dope smoking. If it thinks it was all a Reaganite conspiracy to keep down the black man, why does he promote the lifesyle to the black community?

[GraceG]

As always, no blame goes to Lyndon B. Johnson....

Who did more to destroy the black family unit than ANYONE in the last 100 years.

[a fool in paradise]

Apparently there were no drugs or guns in the black community until 1982.

[freedom6178]

Guns, drugs, and violence is what these gang-bangers have made their money from. They wouldn’t have it any other way.

[ansel12]

Reagan was gangsta?

[sushiman]

There is a reason why they call marijuana DOPE .

[sushiman]

There is a reason why they call marijuana DOPE .

[Liberty Valance]

Geez Louise - a fool and his bong are soon farted.

[RginTN]

Reagan was such a powerful Jedi he made blacks take drugs and kill each other...hmm.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

My 60 and 70 hour weeks didn’t leave much time for fun and football.

[Citizen Zed]

I’m glad Snoop finally listened to Nancy Reagan and just said no to drugs. lol

[Viking2002]

'.......those who were underprivileged, the low economic side of life, the government would provide for us'

I stopped reading right there.

[clearcarbon]

The parasite feels entitled to nourish itself on its uncooperative host.

[Jimmy Valentine]

It is a true measure of President Reagans greatness that even after all this time, mutts like this try to elevate themselves by slagging him

[Yardstick]

Wonder if anyone in the community will call him out on this nonsense.

[canuck_conservative]

Don’t forget invisible fathers, another essential element of the black-community-breakdown that everyone has to pay for, and around since the 60s.

Also, Reagan didn’t introduce the practise of referring to your women as “bitches and hos”, that was entirely self-created by da black community.

[driftless2]

Yes, before Reagan was elected, there was absolutely no violence at all in black communities. I wonder how Stupe Dogg could say that with a straight face?

[Popman]

Gee, he forgot that Reagan made the CIA push crack into black communities...to control them...

The snoop dog is slipping on his blame whitey meme..

[bmwcyle]

I thought is was because of MTV.
