Ronald Reagan's 1988 signing statement for the Civil Liberties Act made every argument needed to justify Black reparations — military service, documented government wrongdoing, harm that deserved repair.
He applied that standard to one group and not the other. This 3-minute clip from Episode 18 of Committed to Misunderstanding is the receipt.

Declarations of Independence: The Cinema of John Sayles
Screening @ TIFF
📌 "The political & artistic principles Sayles refused to compromise"
“accurately captures the Schenectady-born writer-director’s dual commitments to credibly naturalistic storytelling and penetrating social observation — qualities that have been in short supply in an American cinema predicated on spectacle and escapism, especially since the dawn of the #Reagan #Eighties”
— Adam Nayman
'Ronald Reagan secretly negotiated to keep the Iran hostages captive for an extended period to try to keep President Jimmy Carter from winning reelection.'

For those of you too young to remember, Anita Bryant was the 1958 Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner, and a brand ambassador for the Florida Citrus Commission from 1969 to 1980, a pop singer with 3 hit songs, AND one of the most vocal and prominent anti-LGBTQ activists of the late 1970s. She ran a campaign to repeal a Miami-Dade County, Florida ordinance outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation. LGBTQ activists and prominent figures in music, film, and television retaliated by boycotting orange juice she promoted, causing her to be blacklisted, contributing, ultimately, to her having to file for bankruptcy twice. On October 14, 1977, she repeatedly told a television audience that she "loves homosexuals, but hates their sin," resulting in her getting pied in the face by LGBTQ writer and activist, Thom L. Higgins.
In 1978, she promoted the Briggs Initiative in California, which would have gotten any public school teacher fired for making any pro-lgbtq statements. Interestingly, it was opposed not only by liberals, but by President Jimmy Carter, Governor Jerry Brown, former president Gerald Ford, as well as Ronald Reagan, resulting in its massive defeat at the polls.

Thatcher, Reagan were the wrecking crew: How we keep pushing mess
This story is about the ideology that won. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, two politicians on either side of the Atlantic didn’t only win elections, they reshaped what people came to accept as “common sense.” Margaret Thatcher in Britain and Ronald Reagan in the United States did not invent capitalism’s worst tendencies, but they gave them state power, institutional infrastructure, and ideological legitimacy. What they built was not simply a set of policies, it was a social […]https://hamishcampbell.com/thatcher-reagan-were-the-wrecking-crew-how-we-pushed-the-current-mess/
