She and Brian Kilmeade, the show's co-host, were referring to the campaign held by the Georgia Democratic Party, which dispensed flyers that asked voters to prevent another shooting like that which occurred in Ferguson, Missouri.
"We are not race blind. Of course we still have racial tensions in this country. But the United States of America has made enormous progress in race relations and is still the best place on Earth to be a minority," Rice continued.
Added to this, she warned President Obama against taking unilateral action to grant amnesty to million of illegal immigrants in the U.S.
"We can't have a circumstance in which we are going after a problem as meddlesome and potentially divisive as immigration by executive action only," she said. "This has to go through the people's representatives."
Rice also took the interview as an opportunity to comment on potential 2016 candidates, as well as dismissing the idea that she would run.
"I am a professor at Stanford. I am a happy professor at Stanford' that's where I am staying. I had a chance to be Secretary of State. I'm an international relations specialist; it doesn't get better than that."
