She also supported the confederate flag. Lots of Indians think they are white and marry only white people--as she has. I don't agree with that assessment since I've been called the N word many a time. I feel sorry for her.
Nikki Haley stumbles when asked about the Civil War and slavery

Or she was speaking what she really feels about the question.
Well, now you do. Nikki (middle name?) is her preferred name and Haley is her husbands last name.
It is quite simple really; they cannot catch him because they are not him. As unbelievable and insanely pathetic as it may be, at this point Donald Trump quite literally owns the Republican party, and will continue to do so until he is effectively incapacitated and/or removed from the picture. Let's just hope that happens sooner rather than later.
woman of color
noun
pluralwomen of color
: a woman whose skin pigmentation is other than and especially darker than what is considered characteristic of people typically defined as white (see WHITE entry 1 sense 2a) : a woman who is of a race (see RACE entry 1 sense 1a) other than white or who is of mixed race
… Sen. Kamala Harris of California, will become the first woman of color to accept a major party's vice presidential nomination on Wednesday.—Steve Peoples
In reality the 19th Amendment failed to enfranchise thousands of American women of color—Black, Asian, Latina and Native American.—Anna Bloom
Based on that, a sensible person would think she would know about slavery and the civil war. lol
Just wait until the leader of your party starts to go after her. Trump will dust off his Obama playbook as soon as she looks like more of a threat. I assume he's working on his clever zingers about her name right now.
Yep, softball question, Haley is certainly aware of the reality and the right answer but she also knows that a significant portion of her party are uncomfortable with reality, so she tries to avoid acknowledging it and you wind up with these moments.
I don’t disagree with her.
The tradition in the south was to keep black people as property and denied their rights as humans.
So….yeah….the Civil War was fought over these quaint and often misundertood traditions.
As long as you use the right blanket terms and do not directly acknowledge the human rights violations associated with the specific "tradition" in question, then it's ok.
You mean like Biden? FFS. There is no one running more ready to be President IMO.
Slavery is alive and well in this century, as is unsafe child labor.
Teen's death in Wisconsin sawmill highlights "21st century problem" across the U.S.
The number of children employed illegally in the U.S. is soaring, Labor Department figures show. Sometimes that work kills them.

In examining what led to Schuls' death, federal investigators found him to be among nine minors, ages 14 to 17, employed at the mill. Some of the teens operated saws and other automated equipment to process lumber, which is illegal for people under 18, the agency said.
Aside from Schuls, three kids ages 15 to 16 suffered injuries at Florence Hardwoods between November of 2021 and March 2023, the Labor Department found. The day after Schuls' death, the mill's operator terminated all of the children's jobs, the agency noted.
In Schuls' case, Florence County Sheriff's Office reports obtained by the Associated Press said he hadn't pressed a safety button to turn off a conveyor machine before stepping on it to straighten wood that was hampering the equipment. He was trapped for 17 minutes before a supervisor found him unconscious. The cause of death was traumatic asphyxiation, the county coroner told the AP.
Schuls was a "hardworking, loving" student at Florence High School, where he played football, basketball, baseball and soccer, according to his obituary.
Should have been an easy question, especially for someone governing a state in the south, and who represents the party that was in favor of ending slavery, at the time.
I know he’s trying to, but he isn’t clever or witty enough to pull it off. He might also be MAGA curious.
Agree.
I feel she spends too much time trying to determine a response and how that response plays to her audience.
At this point, she has some momentum and seems to be appealing to some PACS like the Koch Bros.
She has to consider where her $$$ is coming from and weak answers like the one we're discussing aren't helping her.
Ah, so plenty of time to not have a dipshit answer to a softball question.
lucas with his faux outrage in high gear today. Always aggrieved. Always looking to be outraged.
I'm surprised you're not calling out the blatant misogyny and racism in this thread.
I never would have identified her as Indian. She has pretty fair skin.
Did she do a bleach like Wacko Jacko?
As evidenced by your moniker, you are saying this as someone who has no knowledge about the South. I have lived in North Carolina for more than 30 years. It is remarkable how important "a war that happened over 155 years ago" is to a huge segment of the population here. The Sons of Confederate Veterans organization belongs to our local Chamber of Commerce; its representative attends all events in uniform. About five years ago, I attended a peaceful rally in front of our county courthouse urging the relocation of the huge Confederate monument that has sat right in front of the courthouse steps for 100 years. The city had to bring in about 25 cops midway through the proceedings to protect us from a quite surly mob of rednecks that appeared capable of violence. Like Nikki Haley, our county commissioners have to pander to these rednecks, as they make up a huge portion of their "base." The county ended up installing a garish, 10-foot-high fence around the monument to protect it--rather than moving it to a less-controversial location.

Stupid answer was stupid. Pandering to the lowest IQ
LOL get a fvcking mirror, dipshit
No one is surprised by your mediocre trolling
There's a reason why she goes after Biden in her ads. She is scared shitless of Trump.
That's what it's going to take for you? SMH
