quote:
Haley has touched on some of the struggles her family faced. "I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. They came to America and settled in a small southern town. My father wore a turban. My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl in a black and white world," she said at the 2020 Republican National Convention. "We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave into grievance and hate."The NAACP also pointed to then-Gov. Haley's heritage in 2011 when criticizing South Carolina for flying the Confederate flag at the Statehouse for nearly half a century. In 2015, in the wake of the fatal shooting of nine Black people at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Haley urged the flag to be removed and state Republicans quickly agreed.
But she says the US has never been a racist country. IP: Logged |

You don’t agree with me. Your comment is utter ******** , and your guy is targeting her with racist dog whistles, including the birther crap. There were Iowans who said they wouldn’t vote for Vivek, in the primary, because they assumed he was a Muslim. Because he wasn’t white. It’s funny how you continue to try to blame democrats from decades ago, for what republicans are doing now. Really odd, not at all honest. Last year, a member of this forum said that Vivek should “go back”. Go back where? You didn’t say a word, and this person isn’t a democrat. So strange. Also how you sneaked this in, as though we’re in agreement, when I have said I rarely check responses anymore. Because there’s no point. IP: Logged |

It’s also strange how you act as though republicans weren’t racist at all. They were the real social justice warriors, eh? They would love to have the children taught CRT in schools. They would be cool with everything you’re against now. Is that correct? IP: Logged |

Wrong on all counts. The Dems are still racist today. And they are even anti-women now. Or do you want me to post all the racist comments Biden has made? You would probably cheer them anyway. IP: Logged |
