Barbara Lee responds to Nikki Haley: Racism ‘is in the DNA of this country

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.”

For a black woman to bed so slavishly devoted to the party of slavery, I would say that the Stockholm Syndrome is in the DNA of much of America.

On some level I agree that racism against whites has become the new, acceptable “standard”. I want MY reparations!

Scientifically speaking there is no such thing as race.

DNA has nothing to do with this.

I’m beginning to think racism is in the DNA of blacks. Whites and Asians? Not so much. But blacks in America seem to obsess over race - and hate anyone else.

“Barbara Lee tried to disrupt an important discussion about the Biden Administration’s lenient policies toward the Cuban regime,” Salazar said. “Barbara Lee is a communist sympathizer who was a personal friend to Fidel Castro, has visited Cuba 21 times, and has been a mouthpiece for the Cuban Regime since 1977.”

Compared to what or whom. Blacks have no room to talk.
