Why would any black in America care about Reagan?
 

sitting here this morning reading the LA Weekly and I come across this.

"It?s important to remember that Reagan, like Nixon, both stirred up and reaped gains from the white backlash of the ?60s. Reagan emerged as a national conservative leader when he campaigned for Barry Goldwater in 1964. Like Goldwater, he opposed the Civil Rights Act of ?64, which had abolished segregation in public facilities."

tell me why people give a shit about this guy dying again?

:1orglaugh

i voted againts that act too


oh wait.. im only 28.. nevermind.

lol...Iran CONTRA too damnit.

Sold arms to Iran, took money gave it to contras. lied about it repeatedly. by passed the authority of congress who said no more money for the Contras.

Negotiated with terroists, specifically against their own policies!

Amazing how in the best president thread people think Iran-contra can be over-looked, but want to throw Clinton in the worst b/c of a blow-job.

morons, republicans are just like democrats --they are into the cult of personality...regardless of the political policy actually initiated.

why the fuck do you try to equate Republicans with Democrats, as if they're the same type of people? No fucking way, Dems have done nothing to deserve that. The current Repub party is corrupt, criminal to the core. Put the blame where it fucking belongs instead of trying to be a world weary know it all (oh they're all the same) because they're NOT.

stupdity.....

Isnt the guy dead now?

why keep bringing him up... you clearly werent interested in him until he died.
