Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said elites can't ignore global populism, and the White House needs to have a far more sensitive tone to the 'raw' power of race in America.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice commended the Trump administration for its foreign policy work in dealing with North Korea and Iran, but said the White House needs to have a far more sensitive tone in terms of the"raw" power of race within America.Face the Nation

Rice said the populist Five Star Movement in Italy, Jair Bolsonaro's election in Brazil and the Brexit movement in England should serve as a warning that Trump's seemingly anti-establishment campaigning has support in other parts of the globe. Rice addressed the rhetoric and language of such discussions, saying she uses the word"nativism" instead of"nationalism" because Americans have a deep sense of pride in their country. However, she said"nativism" is what"pits you against them" and stifles conversation.

"But I think we could all be better in the way that we deal with this very raw nerve which is race," she continued."I think it's time to stop labeling each other and using explosive terms like 'she's a racist, he's a racist,' that stops the conversation. When you say that, that's mean to stop the conversation."
