Barbara Lee responds to Nikki Haley: Racism ‘is in the DNA of this country
The Hill ^ | 01/19/2024 | CHEYANNE M. DANIELS

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) blasted GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley for her recent remarks that America is not a racist country.

Speaking Friday to CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, Lee refuted Haley’s comments that America has “little kinks” to fix.

“Racism, institutional racism, is in the DNA of this country,” Lee said. “When you look at what has taken place, look at our Native Americans, the genocide of Native Americans. When you look at what has taken place as it relates to African Americans, 250 years plus of enslaving African Americans, and then you look at the disparities now in our community in terms of health care, unemployment, the wealth gap, housing. You can’t tell me the systemic racism does not exist. It’s not just a little kink.”

Anti white racism is widespread and systemic.

It is time for Republicans to stand up and tell the truth.

If the Racist Left can’t keep the Racism issue alive, they lose out on that voting block of people kept ignorant of reality.

Barbara, et al, are hard-wired on this, because it gets them rewards without merit.

DemocRats love to accuse America of racism by pointing out the disparities in “health care, unemployment, the wealth gap, housing” as bare-faced evidence of institutional racism.

But they utterly fail to address the root causes of such differences. One of the main causes is fatherless homes where a loving father is replaced by momma’s current boyfriend who doesn’t give a hoot about her children AND if he impregnates her, he is likely to leave her for a new baby momma. A sad example is former NFL star who has 11 children by 10 different women.

If America has racist DNA, why does not Ms. Lee go back to her roots?

The most racist people are those like Barbara Lee and Al Sharpton. It’s in their best interest to keep racism alive and thriving so they can profit from it.

They don’t come much more racist than Jordan. And racism might well be endemic in her district.

I’m so tired of listening to racists whining.

They need to deal with their inferiority complexes.

This happens in a certain country: a Black player enters a basketball game as a substitute and someone in the crowd throws a banana skin on the court and other people in the crowd make “monkey” noises.

It happens regularly in the UK.

How do I know about it?

I regularly scan UK papers where it was reported.

Why is it not reported in WaPo or the NYTimes, both of which have journalists permanently based in the UK?

Because their bosses insist — falsely — that the USA is a racist country.
