Except that Reagan was a racist. He began his campaign for president in Mississippi where the civil rights leaders were murdered shile he complained about fictitious welfare queens. If he was not a racist in his heart, he sure hid it well.
And he was a lousy president also.
Welfare queens are not fictious, and if he had started campaigning in another state you would still hate him.
The one Reagan invented was... the one with the cadillac and the "young bucks." Total fiction. total lie.
Reagan's veto of trade sanctions against apartheid South Africa says it all.
Mandela was a great patriot. As great as George Washington (who also took up arms) and as Jesus Christ for forgiving his enemies.
