THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S RACIST PRESIDENTS
Nationwide -- "From the beginning the American presidency has been stained by racial prejudice, often a reflection of broader sentiment among white citizens. Such views have persisted well into modern times."
So wrote Sarah Mervosh and Niraj Chokshi in the New York Times on
August 1st, 2019. What triggered the article was a newly released audio
recording which revealed that, in 1971, then Governor Ronald Reagan of
California called African people monkeys in a telephone conversation
with President Richard Nixon.
To laughter from Nixon, Reagan also stated that Africans are still uncomfortable wearing shoes. Revelation of this audio recording comes on the heels of President Donald Trump demanding that four Democratic Congresswomen of color go back to their home countries, echoing sentiments that racist whites have often hurled at African-Americans.
Furthermore, just over a week ago the president attacked a predominantly Black Baltimore-based congressional district as a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess", where "no human being would want to live." In the past, the president has also questioned the intelligence of prominent African Americans.
