“I mean, yes, I’m a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina who became the first female minority governor in history, who became an UN ambassador and who is now running for president. If that’s not the American dream, I don’t know what is,”

She likely wouldn’t have been the “first female minority governor in history” hundreds of years after the founding of the US if we didn’t have a long history of racism and sexism in the country. Nice of her to include some contradictory evidence right in her statement.
