I saw the doc and wanted to throw a brick through the screen after the Reagan smear. It had been a pretty good show up til then. Without any proof the makers of doc asserted that Black civil rights were rolled back. Then a picture of the supposedly evil Reagan who was responsible. I’ve concluded not to recommend this thing to anyone for its blatant dishonesty and race-baiting. Disgusting libs ruin everything. Even sports reporting.

"what policies"

That was never explained. Like all lib statements it was just assumed that Black civil rights were rolled back somehow because Reagan was president. The people who made this doc are dishonest pigs.
