The National Archives released tape of a controversial 1971 phone call between then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan and President Richard Nixon. “To see those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” the future two-term POTUS said, at which Nixon laughed. The conversation came the day after the United Nations — including delegates from African countries — voted to recognize the People’s Republic of China over Taiwan.

#### em. He had a right to be mad.
Let he who has not said things like this in what they thought was private, cast the first stone.
But it’s a new world so everything he did must be undone to make things fair.
The USSR must be put back to its original state pre Reagan.
Can we have a headline news story about LBJ’s attitude towards blacks?
Nixon and his damn tapes. What an jackass he was.
A bill will be introduced in the Congress very shortly to rename Reagan National Airport. Just you wait and see.....
I don’t like the comments, but I can’t imagine that he didn’t say vulgar or bad things about people in general whether racially tinged or not. I’m sure he, Nixon, not to mention the vulgar LBJ, the calculating Kennedys made plenty of offensive comments about people in general including white people...women, black people, different cultures, etc...
Oh you know it’s coming, and they will want to rename the 118 Freeway here in LA(Which is named the Ronald Reagan Freeway) the Obama freeway..full of holes and everything
Unlike the Demoncraftic icon Lyndon B. Johnson who didn’t bother with euphemisms like “monkeys” buyt always ran out of hyphens when saying the n-word:
My question is what was the motivation behind releasing those tapes at this time? Seriously, what was to be gained?
Thus the smear of Trump continues, racist, racist, racist!
Smear Reagan/Smear Trump.
Then publish headlines like...Suburban women withdraw
support over Trump’s bigoted racist remarks!!!
Blatant propaganda manipulation.
Uh...
I’d like that audio to be checked out by a sound technician..
Sounds like A.I. fakery to me.
Deep State rolling out fake audio to see what will fly for the election?
How about Carter’s commentary about Israel and Jews?
Billary’s comments about women?
Hillary’s comments about the military, the Secret Service, the White House staff, conservatives....is there anyone Hillary did not disparage?
Obama’s numerous comments about flyover country and bitter clingers?
Lots of political rulers from Africa are not too far above it. Look at the savagery, to this day.
They sold (still sell) their own people into slavery. Murder and butcher their neighbors. Claim ZERO accomplishments advancing western civilization.
And, likes lots of folks from warm climates, would rather wear open toe sandals or flip flops than shoes.
So, from that clip in the post, where is he wrong?
You would have preferred Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern?
You mean the leaders from Africa sided with China instead of Taiwan? Ronald Reagan was right again to criticism their vote.
People who criticize Ronald Reagan’s description, well, how many millions of Africans have died under these leaders in the passed 50 years?
Abraham Lincoln, who hated slavery and freed the slaves was told the new government of Haiti (following a successful slave revolt) was concerned if it should send a black ambassador to Washington.
Lincoln answered “Tell then I shan’t [won’t] tear a shirt if they send a n@@@er here”.
Context. Reality.
Reagan was mocking radical African UN delegates not American blacks.
The less suburban women are connected to the Republican Party the better off they will be.
Every written word, every audio and video recording, every crime will be highlighted by the press and the DEMs in the next 15 months. It’s what they do every time a Republican is POTUS. Never mind the racist and idiotic stuff liberals do and have done for decades.
