GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — The United States must acknowledge a "painful, complicated" history of racial discrimination that still affects many minorities, Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio said Monday between campaign speeches in South Carolina.
Rubio told reporters that "decades and decades of discriminatory practices" have yielded a lack of economic opportunity for many minorities and sour relationships between law enforcement and minority communities, particularly African-Americans.
"It's important for us to confront these issues because we can't fulfill our promise as a nation if we have a significant percentage of the population feeling as if the American dream is out of reach for them, that they're somehow locked out of the promise of America," Rubio said after addressing South Carolina's Upstate Chamber Coalition.

Yeah, for nitwits like you Rubio.
Jeb, Junior.
Another loser racing to get negative numbers of votes...
Yeah, that's it. It's the discrimination, not the crimes. That's it.
Is this guy too young to remember the Great Society?
That was decades and decades ago.
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out Marco.
Who is he pandering to with these remarks? Yawn - go away little Marco. Your campaign is DIW (dead in water).

Rubberio is polishing road apples....
Is Donald Trump paying Rubio’s advisers so that he says stupid stuff like this?
Well, it appears Jeb the Cretin and Marco the bunko have pretty much sealed any chances they had for the presidency.
And anothter democrat outs himself.
Thanks for the lecture, El Conquistador.
Y’all Spaniards have a sick history of slavery and genocide in the Americas that is still ongoing.
Our families fought each other over it, 150 years ago.
Nobody from your familia was anywhere to be seen. Probably lashing some African to cut the sugar cane faster to make the rum down on the island.
So stick that in your Koo-Ban cigar and smoke it, Amnesty Boy.
FU Rubio.
We’ve only been around for 239 years. How long can it have been? And is our supposed “discrimination” even comparable to discrimination of nations/empires that have lasted longer than we have?
There are those who just don't learn.
Rubio? Sad and pathetic.
Is it normal for Rubio to cr*p in his pants or does he only do it in other states?
My G-d, this peckerhead is a national embarrasment.
Another Yutz who has no idea why Trump is taking off an poor Marco is sinking into the sunset
