1301, Can't find it in my heart to lament.....

I feel like I should've known more about Reagan, but sadly I didn't because I was only a toddler during his time. But for all I've been taught about him was a bunch of negative stuff..for example, he didn't do jack shit to help out Black communities..(ie..crack epidemic, AIDS, and gang violence). Of course, there was the WAR ON DRUGS policy..but what did that lead to? Obviously, the war on drugs is still going on, if it hasn't already taken a turn for the worse. I'm saddened I've never gotten to know who Regan was as a person from all the negative propaganda about him. He was like another Nixon.

This is just what I've been taught.
