Vice President Harris said clearly that the U.S. has racism in its history, bucking remarks to the contrary from GOP presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“There is no denying that we have, in our history as a nation, racism,” she said in an ABC News interview Wednesday. “I think we all would agree that while it is part of our past, and that we see vestiges of it today, we should also be committed collectively to not letting it define the future of our country.”

“It’s unfortunate that there are some who would deny fact, or overlook it, when in fact, moving toward progress requires that we speak truth,” she added, referencing Haley’s remarks earlier this week.

Haley denied the country’s history of racism in a Fox News interview Tuesday.

    As a palm colored person I was ignorant of my racism for most of my life. I thought that it missed me. But once I lost a good deal of my life and privilege out of nowhere racism flooded my mind. I could not even see it as it was. I thought it was righteous indignation but it was just wearing that hat.

    It was straight up dip shit whiteness.

    After having sat in this miserable white shit for years now reading black authors, watching movies, listening to speeches, just being quiet to witness all I can say I hate that I have racist feelings that will not bend to my will.

    I don’t know if it is brain damage or what. But it refuses to give up the fucking ghost in me.

    And I am sorry that I have failed you and every other black American. Fuck me I’m so sorry.
