6. Reagan launched the "War on Drugs", whose legacy includes millions of lives wrecked from nonviolent marijuana arrests, the for-profit prison industry, permanent narco-wars in South America, and racist cocaine sentencing.

10. Reagan called the 1964 Civil Rights Act, you know--the one that ended discrimination against blacks at water fountains, lunch counters, and schools, an "embarrassment" to the South. He also vetoed 1988's Civil Rights Restoration Act.
