CNN had a town hall featuring Nikki Haley where she said "I was looking past racism" and if that wasn't stupid enough, she then said "I have Black friends."
In the video above, Roland Martin tears her a new one.
Instead of simply fessing up and saying, "Look I was very wrong and I apologize", she's doing backflips and twisting herself into contortions trying to get around the truth.
When will she put down the damn shovel?!??
She's in a pickle. Her constituency is a delusional lot that
love to re-imagine history to make themselves out to be victims.
The "Noble Cause" is just another flavor of that weakness of character that afflicts conservatives, where they can't really deal with their own history. So they sooth the cognitive dissonance with delusion.
In their delusion, the Civil War wasn't about slavery, but States Rights.
Which sounds almost plausible.....until you realize there's no such thing as State's Rights. There's no a single mention of a single right held by any State in the entirety of the constitution. Its a completely made up concept.
There are State POWERS. But only PEOPLE have rights. But if you say what they
really mean, it doesn't sound noble at all:
That the Southern States killed tens of thousands of US Soldiers to preserve the POWER of the State to strip actual PEOPLE of every RIGHT so they could be sold as property.
An institution so vile and objectively evil that it institutionallzed torture, terror and mutilation as a method of enforcement. Their ancestors fought and killed to preserve evil. That's a tough pill to swallow. So they ignore it and cling quivering with their eyes shut to the 'Noble Cause'.
And Haley has to deal with this dogshit Southern delusion of their victimhood if she wants to be elected.
