Susan Rice roasted for claiming racism has cost the US $16 trillion

[NYPOST] Social media users mocked White House Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice’s claim that racism has had a massive impact on the US economy during a speech on Wednesday.

Rice appeared as a guest at the National Action Network’s, founded by civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
, convention in New York City to speak about the White House’s commitment to promoting civil rights. During her speech, she made the radical claim that the United States has suffered a $16 trillion shortfall because of racism.

"In the last 20 years, the US had a GDP shortfall of $16 trillion due to discrimination against Black Americans. If we closed our racial gaps, we could add another $5 trillion to GDP over just the next five years. And in case you’re wondering, that’s not my math, that’s, according to Citibank. We all benefit when every community has the chance to thrive," Rice said.

This claim faced scrutiny and scorn by Twitter users for the extreme estimate about the impact of racism.

"[Rice] bombs. The applause is anemic....." former US ambassador Richard Grenell noted of the video.

"Liberalism has reduced the size of the economy by $100 trillion. And I have as much proof of that as @AmbassadorRice does," National Review contributor Pradheep Shanker joked.

Columnist David Marcus asked, "What on earth could this possibly even mean?"

"Just perfect: Speaking to millionaire Al Sharpton’s group, millionaire Susan Rice quotes her friends at Citibank to call the American economy racist," Daily Caller editor Vince Coglianese tweeted. "Fun fact: In 2008, Michael Froman — then a Citigroup executive — recommended Susan Rice for the job of US Ambassador to the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
"Then I guess she should stop participating in it," journalist Doug Powers wrote.

#1 So Reparations and Racial Equality have already been paid for? So US the taxpayers no longer have to support the many mainly race housing, race based services, race based funding, race based educational formats, race based preferred hiring quota's, Race/Color racist SIG's and or Gov. agencies and staff that are hired only to address MINORITY race base complaints?

Or, could it be it has become a cultural issue that has set up shop to milk the $$$$$, or to supply 93% of the estimated 32.7 million black voter block for elections to a slavery / racist based founded political party?

#5 She should have picked less round numbers to make us believe there was actual math behind her assertion.
