Nikki Haley said America has never been a racist country — but Whoopi Goldberg would beg to differ … and she’s ready to list the ugly receipts that prove the exact opposite.
The talk show host tackled this topic on “The View” Wednesday — this a day after the Republican presidential candidate went on FOX News to rebuke the notion that America is a racist nation … but in the same breath, denied the U.S. has ever that problem.
Of course, that’s a ridiculous statement … and just factually wrong. Not only did we have slaves in this country for a good long while — but America was a segregated nation through much of the 20th century as well. Basic history … but NH seems to be trying to blur it.
Welp, Whoopi wasn’t having any of Haley’s obfuscation … and she unloaded on her in no uncertain terms in an impassioned speech as she was intro’ing this topic at the table.
Check out what she has to say for yourself — she says all the lynching of Black people over the years wasn’t carried out by them … but by racist Americans, and you can tell she’s outraged by Haley’s attempt to downplay this country’s past.
The reason this latest slip-up from her stands out is the fact that just recently suggested the Civil War was not really about slavery — something she tried to clarify after the fact … but raised a lot of eyebrows when she said it.
Things didn’t get better when she further tried distancing herself from those remarks at a Republican town hall … using the old “I have Black friends” line to defend herself.
Talk about stepping in it, huh?

SHE SAID THEY HANGED THEMSELFES
I know… They should be grateful we loan them the ropes without expecting nothing in return
Haley is in a tough place. She is Indian. If she acknowledges the USA is racist, it would look as an excuse for her poor results and be insulting a lot of (racists) voters in her own party.
The USA was a racist country. In many ways, still is. . I dare to say that for whatever reason, a lot of black people also looks at us with hate and disdain….unless we are talking about a black guy who has done well and he always find himself a pretty blonde as a mate…..amazing how that works.
Also as well, USA is not unique in their racial attitudes or even one of the worst. China, Japan look at us white people as barbarians. Jews dislike Arabs and vice versa (funny, because they are very closely related)
Acceptance of other races and cultures comes from education and exposure
The racism in America were from the democrats like Whoopi, ignorant people as the day is long!
Whoopi is telling the gospel truth. When I was a kid, there were white water fountains and colored water fountains, and by golly you had better select the right fountain to drink out of. Plus, the ignorant white folk says black people come from apes, but who has all that hair on their back and arms??? You know what I’m saying? I could go on and on, but it would take forever.
Whoopi Goldberg is a very talented women. But Whoopi please stay out of politics and continue to adorn us with your humor.
