Nikki Haley, the former ambassador to the United Nations, made contradictory statements on race while speaking Monday, the first night of the Republican National Convention. Haley, whose parents are immigrants from India, said during her speech that “America is not a racist country.” Moments later, she said her family faced discrimination. “In much of the Democratic Party, it's now fashionable to say that America is racist. That is a lie. America is not a racist country,” Haley, the former Republican governor of South Carolina, said. She added shortly after that she is the “proud daughter” of Indian immigrants, pointing out that her father wore a turban and her mother wore a sari. Haley, whose parents are Sikh has, on several occasions, dealt with racism in both her personal and political lives. Haley has drawn criticism in the past for equating the Confederate flag with "service and sacrifice and heritage" in the wake of the 2015 Charleston, South Carolina shooting, when nine Black people were shot in a church. Following the incident, Democrat Dick Harpootlian, a South Carolina state senator and then-party chairman, accused Haley of invoking her race when convenient. “Haley has been appearing on television interviews where she calls herself a minority — when it suits her,” he said. “When she registers to vote she says she is white. She has developed a pattern of saying whatever is beneficial to her at the moment.”
Nikki Haley claims 'America is not racist,' later says she 'faced discrimination'
"America is not racist" is a GOP propaganda point: it makes racist voters feel OK about voting for an obviously racist POTUS. Nikki Haley knows this. But she is so obsessed with power and fame she would say anything if she thought it would get her ahead.
Although she sells herself as a Sikh and a "brown girl", in 2011 it was discovered that Nikki Haley had registered as “white” on her 2001 voter registration card. She also changed her name. Her real name is Nimrata. Nikki Haley is whitewashing her own history. America is not racist but you faced racism? Pick a side of your mouth to talk out of Nikki.
Its funny how you people cant understand basic concepts.
America is not a nation of idiotic leftist douchebags. That doesnt mean there arent a ton of idiotic leftist douchebags in America.

America is not a racist country. That doesnt mean some people arent racist.America is a very racist country.
The treatment of blacks and anyone not from here is deplorable.
Every rat run rat infested ****hole in this country that has ****ed over the black American community is run by leftist democrats. The people you adore and vote for have ****ed over the black American community in ways your party Klan ancestry could only dream of.I agree.
Not all conservatives are racists. I would say most are not.
But virtually all racists are conservatives.

Its tragic that in 2020, you are still a slave. More so because your massa is all in your head.It's sad how some on the rabid right can't understand basic concepts. Since the founding of our nation racism has been supported by those claiming all men are created equal. Racism has been codified by US law. Comparing being forced to pay social security tax doesn't come close to being forced to do field work for just room and board. No where has the left demanded certain groups not be allowed to marry or have the same protections under the law. Institutional racism doesn't just disappear (funny how the rabid right thinks everything they wish to deny just disappears like they think Covid will) because Obam was elected President- if anything the racists became more agitated and reactionary... :doh
Sure there are many leftists in the nation, been here for years- but they are a tiny group compared to the crap ton of racists our nation is still infected with...eace

How is it contradictory to say a country is not racist but an individual is?
Show me an instance of institutional racism and I will work with you to end it. The only institutional racism that occurs in this country is the governance of major cities by the democrat party...the people you vote for.It's tragic that in 2020 some still defend institutional racism, deflect to a political movement instead of addressing the issue. Belief in progressive politics doesn't equate to ignoring racism and pretending it's political based. Racists don't care about the party name- just do they allow, or turn a blind eye to it for the racists continuing to vote for that party- done by the democrats after the Civil War and republicans after 1964- mainstreamed by Reagan in the 80's...
No denying there are liberals in this country but to pretend they somehow are the same 'evil' as racists and in the same numbers is absurd...eace
So do you leftists have any choice words to describe Tim Scott, Hershel Walker, and the many other African-Americans that spoke in favor of Trump? Let's hear it. Can't wait!
America is not a racist country. That doesnt mean some people arent racist.
54% of black Americans in this country thrive. The vast majority of black Americans that do not thrive live in democrat run rat infested ****holes that have destroyed the black American community. You want solutions to what you deem as racism...start there. Otherwise you are just pissing in a windstorm.
