On Thursday’s “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah took a look at a newly released recording made by Richard Nixon in 1971, in which Ronald Reagan said some extremely racist things, and in the process jokingly identified the person who killed Tupac Shakur.
In the recording, made public this week by The Atlantic, then-California Gov. Reagan called Nixon to complain about U.N. recognition of the People’s Republic of China, and specifically the delegation of African nations who voted for it. “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes,” Reagan said.
