Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley is finding herself on defense again after she said “I had Black friends growing up” during a town hall as she sought to clean up remarks she made aroun…
Yeah, I went to a similar school very close to the one she went to. Knew people from there, had friends that transferred over from there, etc.
It certainly wasn’t my choice to go there, and I don’t think my parents reasoning was out of racism in sending me there so I’m not about to conclude the same for her. But it’s just realistically thinking, how many black friends is she going to make going there? On top of recognizing the same horseshit whitewashing of history that got her into this whole defense. The same one I was taught originally as well.
