On the contrary--Black people are blamed by many uneducated racist white people for their hardships, although this country was brutally established to do nothing but favor whites and to spread racism against people of color, especially black people. Although some white folks like yourself like to make stuff up to make yourselves feel better, it is still the truth that whites are the largest recipients of welfare, affirmative action and food stamps. You are favored in employment, loans and opportunity in general. Many successful black people have had to deal w/ a lot of racism to get to where they are, whether they are afraid to admit it or not. There are more white people blaming black people for their misery, than black people are complaining about them.

White folks, like yourself, are really nothing more than jealous and upset because of the accomplishments of black people in this country, in spite of people who say and do things to try to keep us down. Many whites are jealous and upset because they don't realize the contributions that black people have made is what made this country so create and actually believe the lies told in history lessons which also end with white people the hero, when they were generally the villains and took everything from people of color who were always willing to share. There are some whites who do know the value and talent of black people, but just hate to give us credit for our accomplishments.

Haley is just a dumb, greedy person who actually thinks she's something big. She's nothing more than an idiot racist and rather than fight for justice, she'd rather bow down and be a racist side kick who people who hate her too. Lot's of dumb people of all hues and most w/o any hue, think like her. As soon as the racists have no use for her, she will be begging for the help of black people.
What you say is nothing new or interesting. Just more ridiculous racist jive talkin'.

FYI: unless your a a part of the 1%, you will be very sorry if the republicans win. Although you are not educated to the fact that black people are used to struggling for survival in this country, you will find yourself asking us black people how to do it in order to help yourself. You won't care for Romney, Paul, Newton Leroy or crazy Santorum if they win. Based on the way you think, you will be so disenfranchised, you will begin to think you are black (haha).

I'am a resident of S.C. I'am a 63 yr old retired teacher, I have seen 1st hand the dirty
tatics Haley is using, the only credit I can give her is the fact that before stealing the
governorship she had those (GOOD-ALL-BOYS) completely FOOLED, LOL.
She had them thinking she was in the CLICK with them, boy were they surprised
to learn after she became Governor, she started doing things HER WAY!.
The 1st week of being in office, she shut down many programs & put freezes on many
federal programs designed to help the poor, elderly & blacks, this can be proved.
She refused large federal grants, saying she didn't want S.C. to be indebted to anyone.
She is devious, uncaring, & selfish, and 1 point i would like to tell her.
Open YOUR MOUTH & STOP TALKING THROUGH CLENCHED TEETH.
She never moves her lips!!!
Finally all i can say is GOD BLESS SOUTH CAROLINA, because he is the only 1 that can because surely Gov Haley is only looking out for herself & family.

Black people should realize by now that we are on our own. No one cares about our communities or our problems. We will have to be the ones to fix them. So don't waste time even complaining to nonblacks they do not care. We should focus our energy in rebuilding our communities. Period.

They already called her a ra_____ when she was running for office. They won't turn on her because she says how they feel and won't call anything they say about her racist.

It is a shame that for a dime profit people like her will sell their souls for public politics. And to "deny" her background by not mentioning it often is another way of her trying to erase who she really is. It is sick and sad but a harsh reality as to what some of us are willing to become to feel assimilated into a society that still does not "completely" accept you.

One day she will be forced to take her blinders off or they will be snatched off for her.

Ive noticed in the south as long as your not Black you have a high chance of being somewhat accepted..provided you dont deal with Blacks and you keep your mouth shut and do what they want you to do.

If she was in cities like Newyork ,Chicago,L.A or a lot of other cities with a high immigrant foreign population she'd be catching hell all day just by the many of Whites, Blacks and Hispanics that cant stand foreigners.

Its not right to hate people but when their people own up everything, people are bound to feel some type of animosity towards these groups...She probably wouldnt feel as connected to Whites if she was in those areas.. her family would have been told her about that, and this wouldnt have been an issue!!

She is what you get when too many Black people stay home instead of voting. Black people in that state should have turned out in force and voted against Haley. But in 2010 too many stayed home
even though the President was calling for all to get out and vote. Apathy is killing our community.

Note by Me: It's never understandable to suck up and bow down to a wicked, supremacist system, but the rest of the post is true.

She grew up in the racist south. It didn't make her hate racism. It made here want desperately to be on the winning team, which is understandable. When you're the only one of your kind surrounded by others, you tend to do things to gain acceptance. Eventually, you can become a complete sellout. That would be her. Her parents come from a very poor country with conditions that we can't even imagine here, yet she supports policies that are totally anti-poor and anti-minority. White America will never truly accept her, they will only use her until she is no longer useful. They they will Herman Cain her.

She didn't break away from "typical group think politics". She just joined a different political group. Nothing "applause worthy" about that.

And in case you've been under a rock the last few hundred years or so, being a minority was never a sign of status.

Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley (born January 20, 1972) is the 116th and current Governor of South Carolina. A member of the Republican Party, Haley represented Lexington County in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2005 to 2010.[4]

In the 2010 South Carolina gubernatorial election, Haley was endorsed for the Republican nomination by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former South Carolina First Lady Jenny Sanford, and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.[5][6][7] On June 8, 2010, she finished first in the four-way Republican primary election with 49% of the vote, but fell short of the 50% required to avoid a runoff election. Haley won the runoff on June 22 with 65%,[8] and proceeded to win the general election by a 51–47% margin.

Haley is the first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country. At the age of 40, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

This is an insult to all the Blacks and few White Americans who gave their lives so Nimrata Nikki Randhawa parents could immigrate into America. The 1965 Immigration Act was borne from the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. Nikki father could only work at a HSBC in South Carolina, yet like many immigrants she turns her back on the group that was a major part in her parents being able to immigrate here. I hope this is a wake up call for those Blacks who believe there is some type of negligence between American Blacks and other minorities. The only connection we have is that they will do all they can to accept White folks approval and most of that means continuing their disenfranchisement of American Black citizens. American Black citizens stand alone and it's time we behaved like it.

Glory to be to God. You are absolutely correct. They use black to advance or get what they want and turn their backs. I do not know why some blacks can not see it and they are being called stupid negro while all this is going on. If you are not PURE WHITE, you will be in the hate number eventually and she will too. Her dad will be looked at a TERROIST all because of his dressing no matter how much they align with the whites. "NOTE: NOT ALL WHITES ARE THE SAME AND THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE AS ANY RACE." However, blacks need to wake up and stand together so they are not crabs pulling other blacks down with attacks as some has done our President in the past/present. FOR BEHOLD, THE COMETH THAT SHALL BURN AS AN OVEN; AND ALL THE PROUD, YEA, AND ALL THAT DO WICKEDLY, SHALL BE STUBBLE; AND THE DAY THAT COMETH SHALL BURN THEM UP, SAIT THE LORD OF HOSTS, THAT IT SHALL LEAVE THEM NEITHER ROOT NOR BRANCH.

i agree with this based on numerous encounters with them and the plb is even deeper with most of them because they havent even learned like white folks how to cover their racism. I also want to say to all black leaders" please stop trying to form alliances with folks of other races colors or creeds because they will only unite withus long enough to get their needs met then dump us on the side of the road afterwards. this has happened time and time again. Nikki isnt really a minority simply because she isnt a VISIBLE Indian since many of them look white like Nikki herself.Lets face it black america, ITS JUST US, WE 'IS ALL WE GOT BUT THATS OK CAUSE WE ARE 40 MILLION STRONGSO WE CANT GO WRONG

You are owed nothing

Of course generational American Black citizens are owed by this government, we are the only group that has not been paid some form of reparations for the centuries of Jim Crow from 1867-1965,. Americans Black did work and pay taxes to a government who gave them NO Representation,matter of fact that government did all they could to disenfranchise the American Black citizen. Educated and intelligent White folks know this and understand it. It's unfortunate for you that you're not intelligent enough to understand that. But that is not unusual for ignorant people like you, it's also regrettable that there are more ignorant White people like you than not.Now go away you poor ignorant human being.

Your tax dollars, my Black a____. White America was created and lived off the backs of Black people before this country became a country until the mid sixties when Black folks was then entitled to the same benefits Whites were receiving for decades. If you're going to make statements, don't step up with nonsense.

Yes, it is an insult to those of us whose ancestors and kin (and even ourselves) had fought for Civil Rights. People like "Nikki", who are new-generation Americans, are ungrateful, unable to recognize or appreciate the struggle OUR own had endured and don't think that they themselves have ever benefited from Civil Rights or from Affirmative Action.


We need to stop patronizing their businesses (ladies, that also means stop buying the weave!) and bring the money back to our communities.
