Скачать или смотреть Ronald Reagan’s Racist Tape Released

Last month, the National Archives released an old audio clip of a conversation between then-California Governor #RonaldReagan and then-President #RichardNixon. Though the audio clip was first released in 2000, the National Archives omitted Reagan’s racist remarks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But now, in the wake of the full release, which was requested by researcher Tim Naftali- who directed the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum from 2007 to 2011, the world is reacting to Reagan’s disparaging remarks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to CNN, the controversial conversation occurred in October 1971 when Reagan, who would later become the 40th President of the United States, called Nixon to discuss the recent United Nations vote to recognize the People’s Republic of China. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the conversation, Reagan, according to Naftali, referenced the Tanzanian celebration, saying, “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries —damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to the publication, the Tanzanian delegation danced in the General Assembly when the UN took the vote to seat the delegation from Beijing instead of Taiwan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In a separate clip, Nixon mimicked Reagan’s words to then-Secretary of State William Rogers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“As you can imagine,” Nixon said, according to Naftali. “There’s strong feeling that we just shouldn’t, as (Reagan) said, he saw these…cannibals on television last night, and he says, ‘Christ, they weren’t even wearing shoes, and here the United States is going to submit its fate to that.’ And so forth and so on.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
