Did you know that America’s racial and gender “divisions” were created by President Barack Obama? I’m not making this shit up. Actually, Nikki Haley is making this shit up to be accurate. Alex Wagner of MSNBC highlighted the racist rationalization for racism in America spewed forth by Nikki “The Civil War wasn’t about slavery” Haley on “The Breakfast Club”. And you know this is some REALLY racist bullshit because my racism detector is in the RED, and as an old white man, I’m a lousy detector of racism.
Here is the YouTube video of that interview with Nikki Haley. It’s at time 09:45 when the question comes up about Biden being “Obama 2.0”.
Yeah. Obama was responsible for Jim Crow laws. Obama was responsible for the lynchings of black people throughout the South. Obama is the one who has given a permission structure to call blacks the N-word again. Obama is the one responsible for all those police shootings of unarmed black men during routine traffic stops.
What Haley is really saying is this: “Obama’s presence in the White House was an affront to all white people, and if he hadn’t been there, we would all be living in peace and harmony.”
As for the gender “divisions,” I’m reasonable sure that Obama didn’t time travel and setup the second class citizenship for women in America. And he sure as hell was not the guy who took away a woman’s right to control her own reproductive health, which Haley is more than willing to do with a national abortion ban. She said so herself.
And seeing as I am older than Haley and grew up in Kentucky, I know she is lying her ass off about racial and gender divisions being Obama’s fault. No. What Haley is doing is pandering to the lies that racists and misogynists tell themselves, especially those who make up a good chunk of the Republican base. And one of those lies is that black people bring all their troubles on themselves, and white racists are just reacting to the so called bad behavior of immoral, inferior people.
If she were to be honest with Republican voters about their racism and misogyny, she’d be politically deader than Chris Christie.
But she is not so damn smart. If she was, Haley would already know that her prospects for 2028 are also deader than a dinosaur fossil. Trumpism will carry on for years in the GOP. There will be no “fever break” ever. And Republican voters do not want to see Trump ever challeneged, even if the challenge is really not a challenge.
Everything Trump touches dies, and so has Nikki Haley’s political future.
