Nikki Haley, continuing to step in it even as
she’s trying to step out of it:
“I should have said slavery right off the bat,
but if you grow up in South Carolina, literally in second and third grade you
learn about slavery. You grow up and you have—you know, I had Black friends
growing up. It is a very talked about thing. We have a big history in
South Carolina when it comes to, you know, slavery, when it comes to all the
things that happened with the Civil War, all that. I was over—I was thinking
past slavery and talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward. I
shouldn’t have done that. I should have said slavery. But in my mind,
that’s a given, that everybody associates the Civil War with slavery. We were
the only Indian family in a small, rural southern town. We weren’t White enough
to be White, we weren’t Black enough to be Black. They didn’t know who
we were, what we were, or why we were there. It was not just slavery that was
talked about, it was more about racism that was talked about. It was
more about, you know, we had friends, we had Black friends, we had White
friends, but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and
in the south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s
what it is.”
Dear God, this woman just digs deeper into the
feces every time she speaks …
“You grow up and you have—you know, I had
Black friends growing up.”
Yes, I am not racist and I don’t say ignorant
things because I had Black friends growing up.
“I was over—I was thinking past slavery and
talking about the lesson that we would learn going forward.”
Oh, Nikki, so good that you can get past thinking
about slavery while millions of people of color are reminded of that every
single fucking day with the way they are treated in this country still.
“We had Black friends, we had White friends,
but it was always a topic of conversation, even among our friends, and in the
south, we’re very comfortable talking about it because we know that’s what it
is.”
If you’re so comfortable why are you still trying to fix
your mistake? And if you know what ‘it’ is—and by the way it’s racism and
bigotry and ignorance—you could say it.
Fucking moron. You are so transparent.
