Ronald Reagan was a Racist?.

Rob Roy said:

That's not true. First a person could know that government people will punish them if they don't behave in a certain way, but that's not the same as actual consent.

For instance, if you had grown an illegal plant knowing you could be punished, that doesn't mean you consented to any punishment, it may have even meant you didn't want others to dictate how you would use your property, your time, resources and your body.

Certainly consent is important in human relationships, but you don't seem to be very consistent in how you apply that, Poopy Pants.

Are you nuts?
Reagan was always a member of the Screen Actors Guild most of his life.

He was also its president twice while still a Democrat.

I thought he was invited to participate in Hollywood activities and as a result become a detective.

You thought wrong.

He was an actor and radio personality all of his life. He joined the Screen Actors Guild in 1947 and was a member until his death.

Alright, I was thinking about "communist influence." Politics/history isn't my strong point, I try to know what's going on though.

How old are you, boy? They can’t make you trolls know everything but trust me here. Liberals have always been a very endangered species while racism was par for the course. You really don’t understand do you? Seriously. Not excusing it at all but trying to explain it. John Wayne was another overt racist. It was much more acceptable than being a liberal. Just like it is today with the same conservative fucks.
