This needs to be shown in all schools, period.

It took that crowd in the Bronx to call him out on his bullshyt publicly, and it showed how unhinged he was

It really has flown under the radar. Why is not all this being called out? Don't have a link I can share unfortunately.

Because he won and brought in 40+ years of acolytes in politics that refuse to go against him. Neoliberal Democrats and Republicans both bow to Reagan.

We need a real transformational moment to change things in this country and show Reagan for the demon he is.

Don't even bother reading the YT comments. People (well, racist white people) hold him as some great standard. fukk him.

I was born during the Reagan era, but I don't remember any of it, so growing up in TN I would hear people talk about Reagan with fond remembrance. Then, when I got older and started reading history and looking up things all I could think was, "Why do so many people like this guy? " I've noticed as time goes on, more and more things about his administration are being looked at in a different light, which is the way it should be. It definitely wasn't morning again in America as that happy go lucky campaign ad once boasted.

The racism was front and center. Why did it not become a huge point then?

Despite the good music and movies, the 70s were a really shytty decade. Because once the 80s rolled around l, any semblance to some sort of humanity went out when Carter lost

I grew up in the 80s too, he really was the second coming to the masses. Good thing about both hip hop and punk ; shyt like this was addressed
