'I Was A History Major': CNN's Jake Tapper Pushes Back At Nikki Haley Over Racism Claim
Briefly

"I understand you don't think America is a racist country now, But we're here at a college. Do you really think, as a historical matter, America has never been a racist country?"
"But what I look at it as is I was a brown girl that grew up in a small, rural town. We had plenty of racism that we had to deal with, but my parents never said we lived in a racist country, and I'm so thankful they didn't, because for every brown and Black child out there, if you tell them they live or are born in a racist country, you're immediately telling them they don't have a chance."
"National self-loathing" is "killing our country," Haley claimed, later saying she wanted children of color to see her political ascent and say, 'No, I don't live in a country that was formed on racism. I live in a country where they wanted all people to be equal and to make sure they had life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'"
