Reagan on "States Rights"
 

Yes, here's the topic again. Coincidentally I bumped into this video on YouTube. Its an interview of Reagan by W.F. Buckley in which Reagan very clearly defines what he means by "States Rights". So, put your dogs whistles away, and listen. I think it makes things pretty clear, but probably sets the history revisionists back a bit:

There isn't enough whitewash in Philadelphia, Mississippi to paint over Reagan's sordid history in my book.

Better luck with someone else, Mike.

You're not naive so I can only assume that what you are is an apologist for racism.

Never much a Reagan fan. His brand of economics wreaked havoc on the American economy for decades and, despite that, remains creed among conservatives. And no, he was not beyond race-baiting during his Presidential campaigns.

Reagan was an effing idiot. The end. :)

Not interested.

"States rights" are right wing code words for "Keep the niggers in their place".

Who maneuvered the Democrats, liberals, progressives and left his imprints
all over the world.

I would say he is the most influential person of our time.

His gift to mankind was Reaganomics and we are still bent over from it's burden. Quite an imprint I would say.

He has given right wingers a veneer of scholarship. :D

Whell is the second, quite reliably.

Anyway, the premise here is that Reagan was some 'great man' and there's some importance to what he 'really thought.' Bah.
