Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Dismisses Systemic Racism: 'It's a Bunch of Horse Manure'

"Give me a break," the GOP governor responded when asked if the United States was a systemically racist country.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed systemic racism in America on Thursday night in response to President Joe Biden's promise to tackle it during his congressional address the night prior.

"Well, it's a bunch of horse manure. I mean, give me a break," he told Fox News' Laura Ingraham during her "Red State Trailblazers" town hall. "This country has had more opportunity for more people than any country in the history of the world and it doesn't matter where you trace your ancestry from. We've had people that have been able to succeed and all and here's the problem with things like critical race theory that they're peddling. They're basically saying all our institutions are bankrupt, and they're, they're illegitimate."

He went on, "How do you have a society if everything in your society is illegitimate?"

who has never experienced discrimination is his life. They have been many studies done when 2 people with the same exact resume apply for a job and one is named Jamal and the other Charles. Jamal never gets a call back.
