Derrick Jackson takes a different view of Reagan. I think Jackson's full of shit. I disagree with much of what Reagan did, including some of his policies involving race. However, opposing certain policies Jackson thought would help blacks here or to end Apartheid is not evidence that Reagan was racist, or even wrong about those policies. Jackson is evincing what Thomas Sowell calls the Vision of the Anointed, and what I call being an Ugly Liberal.
