Jeffries: America a 'Great Country' But 'Systemic Racism Has Been in the Soil' 'for Over 400 Years' and Hasn't Been 'Crushed'

On Saturday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Cross Connection," House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said that America is a "great" nation that has "come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. Systemic racism has been in the soil of this country for over 400 years, and we still haven't crushed this cancer, and we need to."
