While combining through my local big retail store, I found in the dollar bin an old movie made in 1943. What intrigued me about this film was that it had one of our country's greatest political figures in it. I have always been a fan of Ronald Reagan even though I fancy myself a Democrat. I had always wished to gaze upon him in his prime as an actor, and never been granted the means to do so until this point. Imagine my dismay when returned home to find that my favorite political figure does Black Face in this film, which in my opinion is one of the most insensitive things anyone could do. I know and understand the film was made at a time when this was allowed and respectable commonplace. I also know that things like this should be watched so we can better understand where our nation came from, and that it has not been all that long since the world mistreated blacks. I just don't know how this film was overlooked when Reagan ran for the presidency or even for Governor of California. I believe everyone should watch this and learn that even though this man lead us through the greatest decade of all time, in the past he was a bigot, and that his legacy still continues today with the son of Reagan's vice president now our president. It makes you wonder what false race lies were shoved down Mister Bush Jr. throat before he made to being our national leader. Watch this film to see our past.
