   @mekkaokereke one of the headlines about her read "The Latest about Niki Haley's Race", and I immediately thought "Did she quit trying to pass as white?"

     Nimarata is a beautiful name. It's also Nikki Haley's first name.

     Every time racist and xenophobic people in her base see that her name is Nimarata, she loses voters. The name has no impact on non-racist/non-xenophobes.

     Her performing anti-Blackness and transphobia to try to win the presidential seat, or help Trump get elected and win the Vice Presidential seat, is bad.

     Not bringing up the name Nimarata, helps her maintain the white supremacists in her coalition. That is what I don't want.
