White House advisor Susan Rice claimed at a conference on Wednesday that anti-Black discrimination reduced the United States economy by $16 trillion.
"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."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.
Former Georgia congressional candidate Barrington Martin II wrote,"This is nuts and unbelievable she said this out loud and was serious. Mathematically it doesn't make sense."The Citibank report cited by Rice claimed,"The analysis in the report that follows shows that if four key racial gaps for Blacks —wages, education, housing, and investment — were closed 20 years ago, $16 trillion could have been added to the U.S. economy.
"Today, in states across the nation, we’re seeing bans on innocuous children’s books just because they feature prominently Black or Brown characters. We’re seeing Black history erased from our classrooms and textbooks. And make no mistake: Those who are doing this are trying to tell us that we do not count, that we do not matter, and that perhaps we should not exist. Black history is American history," Rice said.
