At the time Reagan made his famous comments regarding South African government he was engaged in a battle with the congress whether to impose sanctions on South Africa. The battle went on for several years and he vetoed the final bill. The Senate overrode that veto by a 78-21 vote in 1986. So this isn't some obscure world fact. This was something he voiced his opinion on repeatedly. And repeatedly he was wrong. So he either didn't know what he was talking about or he was lying. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and go with "didn't have a clue."
The day after Reagan made that comment the press asked one of his spokesmen, Larry Speakes, whether the President really believed segregation had all been eliminated. His answer was something like- "no, not totally." Really? That's what he said yesterday. Maybe facts really were stupid things to Reagan.
