When Nikki Haley’s father couldn’t find a job as a college professor at a PWI because of his ethnicity, Voorhees College (an HBCU) hired him. Her mother sold dresses and had a largely Black clientele. I know b/c my grandmother was a customer. Black people saved her family…

Barack Obama had 8 years to pull our country together, but he chose to further divide us by race and gender. Now he’s doubling down by accusing America of being defined by racism. Not on my watch.
