During a recent interview, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said that America had “never been a racist country.” The Onion asked Americans why our history has always been color-blind, and this is what they said.

    “This so-called racist nation is the same one that gave Black Americans their own exclusive water fountains.”

    Whew. Some of these sound a little too much like things that have actually been said, like:

    “We gave them jobs, didn’t we?”

      This is my fave:

      Paul Gruber, Warehouse Manager “America is not a racist country, but a federation of racist states.”

        If somebody has to give you equality, it’s not equality.

      Not to mention “ Slavery was good for Black people”. Nothing boils my blood more than this sentence.
