Noam Chomsky: ‘Ronald Reagan was an extreme racist — though he denied it’
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Thursday, December 11, 2014
Noam Chomsky, author and political theorist, called the United States a “very racist society” and then slammed one of its most beloved presidents, Ronald Reagan, as a prime example of a very racist man during an interview on GRITtv about Ferguson-related issues and race relations.
“This is a very racist society,” he said, Raw Story reported. “It’s pretty shocking. What’s happened to African-Americans in the last 30 years is similar to … happen[ed] in the late 19th century,” as described by Douglas Blackmon in “Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II.”
The Blackmon book details the “age of Neoslavery,” Mr. Chomsky said, referring to how blacks may have won legal freedom, only to face involuntary servitude in the justice system.
