He sure was, and the point? Besides the one at the top of your head?
Ohhhh, are Gladys and Earl complaining because this tape was just released, thus making it a current event and they’re too stupid to understand that? Then they post to prove their stupidity. Great going guys!

I liked him in Santa Fe Trail
evince
Truthmatters
which is why he is NOT a Democratic party hero
Reagan is the NUMBER ONE R hero huh
and Yes he was a racist just like all of you Rs
I missed that one, probably because Reagan was in it. I made the mistake of watching one of his movies and wrote the rest off.

He actually was pretty good in most,usually played second male lead.
We will have to disagree because I thought his acting was stilted and forced, to each his own.

That's true,I guess ,what I meant was he was in quite a few pretty good movies.He played every part,as the good natured wise guy.
Same part he played for 8 years.

I watched King's Row recently and I have to say it's a damn good film..
Yep, the crime bill was a mistake.
Reagan signed a bill in 1967 than placed restrictions on open carry. Why? Because blacks were carrying weapons in public. Then comes his “monkey” call to Nixon.
It seems believable to me that a Texan born around 1900 would have prejudice. His support of civil rights, voting rights, and great society is a redemption of sorts. MLK certainly felt he could work with LBJ, while MLK considered Barry Goldwater abhorrent and a manifestation of racism in the conservative movement.
The bottom line is that no liberal I know today would vote for LBJ having heard him use racist language, and I literally cannot think of a single liberal who holds out LBJ as their favorite Democratic president.
On the other hand, I think Reagan could still win a Republican nomination today even with the GOP base knowing about his racist degeneracy. And Bedtime for Bonzo is still held out as a conservative God, every Republican's favorite president bar none.
The former Nixon Library director fought for them to be released.

“According to Naftali, the comments were not released with the rest of the conversation in 2000 out of a desire to protect Reagan’s privacy. Naftali, who was president of the Nixon Library from 2007 to 2011, wrote that Reagan’s death in 2004 cleared up that concern and that last year he requested the National Archives rereview the conversations involving Reagan. Two weeks ago, he wrote, the National Archives released the full versions of the conversations.”
Caught in another lie, Snowflake.
You said that you had blocked my posts.
Did you lie...again?
Claro que si.
Care to compare resumes?

Oh I see it was just a coincidence. But wait ,the real reason that the TAPE was released NOW is contained in your link. The author of your link knows why the tapes were released NOW. Again, It is evident that the tape was release as a sick way to garner support by using identity politics.
FROM YOUR LINK:
"I'm not saying that's what we need to do for Reagan, but this data point's important for those of us who work on the Reagan era and want to understand it better, and for people now who want to understand what lies behind the current president's racially charged and at times racist tweets.
Let's go back to the present day then and the tweets we've been seeing from the current president, about those four congresswomen known as The Squad, about [Congressman] Elijah Cummings and Baltimore. When you're seeing those tweets and hearing that from him — what, as a presidential historian ... do you make of it?
What I make of it are two things. One is that he is adopting the tropes — that is, metaphors, turns of phrase — that you can see in the language of the Dixiecrats. Those are the southern white supremacists, Southern Democrats of an earlier generation.
He is also, as president, well aware of the reaction. Don't forget he is supposed to be president of all Americans. He knows that he is triggering anger, disappointment and fear among people of colour, and actually most Americans and their allies. And yet he doubles down.
• Trump spews 'pure and simple racism' as migrants suffer in U.S. camps: congresswoman
• Jeff Flake calls Trump's tweets about congresswomen 'vile' — but he won't call them racist
That must mean that either he believes this racist rhetoric, this nonsense. Or worse — well, just as bad — he's a cynic and he does not care about the consequences for the United States of using such ugly, divisive language.
In either case, the poison of racism is entering the policymaking system in his administration as it did in the Nixon administration and may have done in the Reagan administration. And that's a worrisome proposition."
Why no mention of LBJ or other things said by past democrats?
Believe what you want, shitstain. I merely provided the explanation from the guy who pushed for the release. Read whatever you want into it, prick.
Re: Trump. His racism goes back to the 70s. Well documented. And they continue to this day. From the “Mexican” judge he wanted recused from his lawsuit, to Muslim bans, to other Mexican comments, to “Send her back” and any number of other comments from your Liar-in-Chief. “I’m the LEAST racist person in the world.”
