I didnt punt at all, Huckabee said of refusing to take a position on the flag. I think weve missed the real point in this. When Im asked that question as a presidential candidate, what Im being baited for is, is South Carolina a racist state?
And so what I said was, Ed, as a frequent visitor to South Carolina, I look at this objectively, he continued. Youve got a female governor who is of Indian descent, you have the only elected African-American U.S. senator in the South from a state of 4.8 million people, elected largely by people who are mostly white. Thats not racism....
I keep hearing people saying we need more conversations about race, the former Arkansas governor opined. Actually we dont need more conversations. What we need is conversions because the reconciliations that changes people is not a racial reconciliation, its a spiritual reconciliation when people are reconciled to God.
When I love God and I know that God created other people regardless of their color as much as he made me, I dont have a problem with racism, Huckabee insisted.
