|
[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.

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.
