And now south Africa is falling apart
Better to fall apart in unity than in segregation.
@@beyondbased rather fall apart in unity thant to go foward segregated?
I'd RATHER live in this present day nation THAN the Apartheid regime! I'm a white South African by the way!
No it is not, How is south Africa is falling apart?
South Africa has been completely destroyed since 1994.
just saw the news that he called us monkeys, sad to hold grudge people you dont know.
sounds like he's not the only one with a grudge
@Genevieve Everette “Reagan was a good man” ok troll
The Soviets made a huge difference. Were it not for them, it would have gone on forever, whilst the West gave excuse after excuse. There was no free speech during apartheid. People were locked up and even killed for an opinion expressed.
The soviets used vulnerabilities to their advantage, to slowly dribble their socialist, communist regime. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher could see exactly where South Africa was going and made excellent points why sanctions would have made South Africa more vulnerable to invasion, further oppressing black South Africans.
That is simply not true. We protested, forced our politicians and economic leaders to use every measure at our disposal to stop apartheid without harming the people that were already disadvantaged. We gave safe homes to political refugee’s are submitted funds to help built positive change. It was the West and the power of the West that changed the situation and gave South Africa democracy. I do not remember a single soviet protest, selling people weapons is done by Russia so they can make money and create unrest not to help the people suffering under apartheid. Let’s also remember that it was the West lead by the UK that ended slavery at huge cost and loss of life. Russia and the varangians had nothing to do with that either. The Soviets as you call them included countries that are now part of the EU. People who suffered genocide and torture at the hands of the Russians and that is why South Africa should support them now. You are supporting the enslavers and imperialist, genocide committing Russians. by the way in Russia today people have no freedom of speech and are locked up and killed for speaking up.
looking back he was right... that country is so bankrupt both monetary and morally... APARTHEID may not have been great but it's better then the corrupt govt there. today
Wow Ronald Reagan was a stand-up man. I wonder are there any statues of him around America 🤔 thanks for the video
They should play the video of him calling Africans monkeys. Don't get it twisted sis this man was a piece of shit.

O okay Interesting, thanks for that information sis, I didn't know
The coloreds is truly the forgotten South Africans.
He wasn't speaking from the heart, sat down, was handed a script and had to read it, period.
@Sergio Martelli 35 years later and the tables have turned. The opponents of then are the oppressors of today.
@Sergio Martelli Yip, the ANC has over 100 anti white policies in place. They just can't get over racial division.
@Sergio Martelli of course they'd say that. They denied apartheid even existed.
Actually he studied politics and economics for years before being president. That’s why when he didn’t have written speeches he was super sharp and known for being quick witted and on point. Regardless of what anyone thinks of him on any side of politics, he wasn’t ignorant.
@Sergio Martelli It is fact.
“Don’t forget your veto pen!”
R: “What’s that?”
“Don’t forget your veto pen!”
R: “Oh... I’ll just leave it there for future use”
The west fed South Africa to the red crocodile (communism) to appease it's hunger.

Did I hear that correctly? "Denying the Black (Racial) Majority of there God Given Rights"? Wheres all the Reagan Conservatives in America? I haven't met 1 that has promoted that type of view.
What rights have been denied black people in america?
Consider it's because apartheid has ended so promoting anti-apartheid sentiment makes literally no sense
He was a very wise man.
Could not be better said I had family who lived in the time of the regime and they rember the anc using violence and mining roads.
Your face they wanted freedom
@@moneytttt1140 And now they have that freedom in a f@ctup country controlled by a mob.
He was on the wrong side of history.
not if ya look at the truth and not what the leftist media is selling ...SA is in as bad of shape then its ever been in its history...corrupt government like the world's never seen .... so crooked
Mr. Constructive Engagement! 😂
This is all I need to know. Reagan was a good man. Case closed.
This comes from a the USA when they allowed the Augusta National l golf course to still deny persons of colour membership. That so called rule was only changed some time after this kind of idiotic behavior was going on in America.
And we all see what is happening there lately, and hw the rule of law failed at the Senate.
We dont need to imagine that we saw it first hand.
I have no respect for this type of bigotry.
He said "well" a lot - some yellow guy.
The friend of apartheid South Africa
If he had approved the full embargo. South Africa would have gone under the soviets like Cuba did.
@@StrivingMen The white minorty south african government were staunch anti communists
@@StrivingMen Bullshit.
You should have used same logic in Afghanistan
Ironic.
The son of the president of Apartheid South Africa at the time -Pik Botha, is now currently a famous billionaire Silicon Valley venture capitalist now.
So what

_"...I'm still a rock star...I got my rock moves...and I don't need you..."_
Pieter Willem Botha never had a son named “Pik Botha”? The only Pik Botha I know passed away in 2018.
@@vincenta_2
Had my facts wrong.
The _"Pik"_ Botha I'm referring to (and who you're probably referring to also) was the last foreign minister during Apartheid government, and was also the first Minister of Mineral and Energy Affairs in Nelson Mandela's.
The _"son"_ I'm talking about is actually his grandson: _"Roelof Botha"_ , who was the CFO of PayPal at the time, and was alongside Elon Musk.
Now he is a venture capitalist at Sequoia Capital, and was an early investor in companies like CZcams.
I don't know why I thought that he was Pik Botha's son. I guess just heard he was South African and was related to him and I just made assumptions.
And today with Americas influence that country is no more a first world country , when will America learn not to put it's nose where it doesn't belong , the new black racist south africa is worse off than during the apartheid time witch was called seperate culture development, the only system that worked for a multi culture society, exactly what the world needs right now to save itself , we were far ahead of the worlds thinking , the proof can be seen today , thanks for nothing America , you and other dumb country's destroyed a first world country .
신국부론 ㅡup road ok
So leaving some black people in bondage was ok for you. Damn... that is a saddening thought ronnie boy.
wow you just don't get it do you ...your comment is missing context my ignorant and naive man
What did you want him to do? Regime change South Africa???
