Not surprising. Nixon said worse, about blacks, including the "n-word" and about Jews - in Kissinger's prescence. Reagan supporters are either going to sealion this one or engage in whataboutism.

The saddest part of these recordings is of course the racism or whatever

But the second saddest part is just how much less intelligently people speak now compared to then, what the fuck happened? The difference in eloquence is startling, it's almost like they're British people speaking with an American accent.

https://www.biography.com/news/nelson-mandela-terrorist-reagan-thatcher

Both Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan accused Mandela and the ANC of being communists and terrorists in the 1980s, and Reagans administration even placed Mandela and the ANC on a terrorist watch list. The U.S. and U.K. leaders considered South Africas apartheid regime to be a Cold War ally, and the opposing ANC to be an enemy bent on spreading communism.

The South African government is under no obligation to negotiate the future of the country with any organization that proclaims a goal of creating a communist state, and uses terrorist tactics and violence to achieve it, Reagan said in a 1986 speech.

He and Thatcher opposed sanctioning the South African government, a move that Mandela and the ANC supported because it would put pressure on the country to end apartheid.

Even as Thatcher urged Mandelas release, she publicly condemned the ANC and privately dismissed Mandela. A considerable number of the ANC leaders are communists, she told a press conference. When the ANC says that they will target British companies, this shows what a typical terrorist organization it is.

In 2016, The Times obtained documents alleging that her administration tried to prevent a royal family member from giving Mandela an honorary degree.

Not all heads of state held this view. Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney struggled unsuccessfully to convince the U.S. and U.K. leaders that Mandela and the ANC werent their enemies in the Cold War.

Ronald Reagan saw the whole South African issue strictly in East-West Cold War terms, Mulroney wrote in his memoirs. Over the years, he and Margaret continually raised with me their fears that Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid leaders were communists. My answer was always the same. How can you or anyone else know that?

Thatcher and Reagan also called Mandela a "terrorist", something Bill O'Reilly repeated when Mandela died.

That recording was horrible and don't think anyone would defend something like that, more just pointing out that standards of society change over time. When I was a kid, I remember "African Americans" was considered the correct term to use and you would even get corrected sometimes if you instead said "black people". Nowadays, it seems like most everyone uses the phrase "black people" (or "black Americans") and the phrase "African Americans" isn't that common anymore. There are even some black people that don't like the phrase.

switching from "african americans" to "black americans" is bit different from referring to africans as monkeys

For those who haven't read the article, it's a good read. Reagan said "monkeys not comfortable wearing shoes" and Nixon said "cannibals who don't wear shoes".

Nixon was caught using the n-word on other tapes. Surprised Reagan wasn't caught here, but I'm sure it was in his vocabulary.
