Ronald Reagan’s Long-Hidden Racist Conversation With Richard Nixon

[harmonica]

It's funny how quick some people are to tell you that a particular white public figure is not racist. I remember several here trying to argue with me about how I see racism in everything because I said Trump was a racist. Now that Trump has shown his racism, people who have denied this have egg splattered all over their faces. We still see many here who try denying Trumps racism.

The same thing was done for Reagan, but you see, the truth always wins. And we should feel for Ol Ronnie because he's now in a situation where he faces the ultimate consequences for his actions. There is no spokesman to try explaining away his racism so people can tell those like me how I am just making it up.

The day after the United Nations voted to recognize the People’s Republic of China, then–California Governor Ronald Reagan phoned President Richard Nixon at the White House and vented his frustration at the delegates who had sided against the United States. “Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did,” Reagan said. “Yeah,” Nixon interjected. Reagan forged ahead with his complaint: “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Nixon gave a huge laugh.

It sounded more accurate than racist-same as Trump's tweets. Without the N word, you have no case for racism-unless you want to talk about black racism-they still say honky don't they? Or is that just George Jefferson?

He called the delegates from African countries (black guys) monkeys and suggested that they have never worn shoes.

Now, one could choose to believe that his comment was not necessarily that of racial bigotry. (I wouldn't)

But it certainly was at least some form of bigotry. It was elitist as hell.

I suppose this all comes down to whether there was a general consensus that calling a black guy a "monkey" would be considered a racial slur in 1971.

Somebody do some research and let's find out.

I lived then, believe me it was mild if anything.

I did too and it was not. You would have called me a monkey in 1971, you had an ass whippin coming. If you would have called any black person I knew that in 1971, you had an ass whippin coming. If you had been a child and said that to a grown black person, your parents had ass whippins coming. Whites don't determine what we consider a serious slur.

Sorry, you were only 10. a mere child, so your accounts are questionable and you were not whippin anybody. Blacks did not not fight whites, they wisely ran away. Different world, unfair to blacks, but there you have it. It does explain why you are so bitter toward whites. So keep your imaginary day dreams about whippin people to yourself. And, the name calling was MUCH worse than monkey.

For the love of hyena butter milk.

And people were jumping my ass because I argued that the way Trump used "go back to where you came from" was not necessarily "racist."

No, you are correct. We had no blacks or Spanish in my hometown, so when the phrase was used it was on a white.As far as monkey goes, you could always hear "we'll kill you n*****s" on a Saturday night. Monkey was mild.

Yeah, I had forgotten about the whole "Southern Strategy" thing.

As a member of the Reagan administration in 1981, Atwater gave an anonymous interview to political scientist Alexander P. Lamis. Part of the interview was printed in Lamis' book The Two-Party South, then reprinted in Southern Politics in the 1990s with Atwater's name revealed. Bob Herbert reported on the interview in the October 6, 2005, issue of The New York Times. On November 13, 2012, The Nation magazine released a 42-minute audio recording of the interview.[10] James Carter IV, grandson of former president Jimmy Carter, had asked and been granted access to these tapes by Lamis' widow. Atwater talked about the Republican Southern strategy:

Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr. and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now you don't have to do that. All that you need to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues that he's campaigned on since 1964, and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster.

Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "******, ******, ******". By 1968 you can't say "******"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "******, ******". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the backbone.[11][12][13]

Atwater also argued that Reagan did not need to make racial appeals, suggesting that Reagan's issues transcended the racial prism of the "Southern Strategy":

Atwater: But Reagan did not have to do a southern strategy for two reasons. Number one, race was not a dominant issue. And number two, the mainstream issues in this campaign had been, quote, southern issues since way back in the sixties. So Reagan goes out and campaigns on the issues of economics and of national defense. The whole campaign was devoid of any kind of racism, any kind of reference. And I'll tell you another thing you all need to think about, that even surprised me, is the lack of interest, really, the lack of knowledge right now in the South among white voters about the Voting Rights Act.[14]

Reagan was so Racist, that he gave Amnesty to millions of Brown Mexicans.

That hardly proves he was not racist. If anything, it proves he was willing to exploit those "Brown Mexicans".

He was so fucking racist, that he was willing to burn it all down and fuck the rest of us just to shut up a few black folks. He is the very guy who started the first new waive of gun grabbing, just so he could make sure those "evil Negros" the Black Panthers could not exercise an inalienable right while exercising others (bearing arms while freely assembling and petitioning government for redress of grievances).

This recently-revealed "monkey" comment confirms for me what I had suspected years ago. Reagan hated black folks more than he loved liberty. At a bear-ass minimum, NOBODY can say he had ANY love for liberty.

The same thing was done for Reagan, but you see, the truth always wins. And we should feel for Ol Ronnie because he's now in a situation where he faces the ultimate consequences for his actions. There is no spokesman to try explaining away his racism so people can tell those like me how I am just making it up.

Ronald Reagan’s Long-Hidden Racist Conversation With Richard Nixon

The day after the United Nations voted to recognize the People’s Republic of China, then–California Governor Ronald Reagan phoned President Richard Nixon at the White House and vented his frustration at the delegates who had sided against the United States. “Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did,” Reagan said. “Yeah,” Nixon interjected. Reagan forged ahead with his complaint: “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries—damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Nixon gave a huge laugh.

Ronald Reagan's Long-Hidden Racist Conversation With Richard Nixon

It was well before the monolithic doctrine of Political Correctness set in and we were allowed to laugh.

No. He hired the vile Lee Atwater to run the southern strategy and allowed the rabid radical religious right a seat at a table at which l they had no place

Yeah, I had forgotten about the whole "Southern Strategy" thing.

As a member of the Reagan administration in 1981, Atwater gave an anonymous interview to political scientist Alexander P. Lamis. Part of the interview was printed in Lamis' book The Two-Party South, then reprinted in Southern Politics in the 1990s with Atwater's name revealed. Bob Herbert reported on the interview in the October 6, 2005, issue of The New York Times. On November 13, 2012, The Nation magazine released a 42-minute audio recording of the interview.[10] James Carter IV, grandson of former president Jimmy Carter, had asked and been granted access to these tapes by Lamis' widow. Atwater talked about the Republican Southern strategy:

Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr. and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now you don't have to do that. All that you need to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues that he's campaigned on since 1964, and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster.

Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "******, ******, ******". By 1968 you can't say "******"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "******, ******". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the backbone.[11][12][13]

Atwater also argued that Reagan did not need to make racial appeals, suggesting that Reagan's issues transcended the racial prism of the "Southern Strategy":

Atwater: But Reagan did not have to do a southern strategy for two reasons. Number one, race was not a dominant issue. And number two, the mainstream issues in this campaign had been, quote, southern issues since way back in the sixties. So Reagan goes out and campaigns on the issues of economics and of national defense. The whole campaign was devoid of any kind of racism, any kind of reference. And I'll tell you another thing you all need to think about, that even surprised me, is the lack of interest, really, the lack of knowledge right now in the South among white voters about the Voting Rights Act.[14]

And, I fucking HATE the Jesus Nazis. Don't even get me started. Those fools deserve NO tent.

Religion needs to stay out of politics, no matter what yours is or what you believe.Republicans have gone all in with the religion bullshit. they are like a cult. 90% approval rating of the most un-christian president in decades. Sheep, and never should be taken seriously again.

People like Trump for different reasons-I think religion is low on the list.
