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.

He's crashed so badly what with his self-inflicted hoof-in-mouth disease that he now has nowhere else to turn for votes except to minorities.

If Rubio wants to run as a victim, he’ll have to change parties.

Sounds like Schumer’s recruitment worked well beyond the Gang of 8 Scamnesty bill.

This is Oh so delicious. When Marco stood proudly with Shumer he could not believe just how smart he was and how he was the chosen one. “They love me, they really love me”.

Another Democrat mole exposed.
The Democrats infiltrated the GOP, and the Islamists infiltrated the Dems.

Hey dork, blacks aren’t going to vote for you because you “feel their pain”. Make the case that capitalism (republicanism) breeds success, and socialism (the democrats) breeds failure - you’ll get more votes.

I plead guilty. I am a discriminating man.
I don’t like liars, politicians that are corrupt, or people that use race as an excuse to commit crimes.
I can discriminate between them and the average, moral, hard-working American.

M. Rubio is appealing to the “trash America” crowd. No matter how much he criticizes this country, they will still vote for the Democrat.
