What if Trump is right, and these countries really are shotholes

[Anonymous]

"We on the Left will never apologize for anything!" --- is that what you wanted to hear to confirm that we all think alike and hate on the Right just to hate on the Right?

I don't know about other people, but I don't really care that used the term "shithole" generally, or that he called these places shitholes per se, but rather that he sees color/race/ancestry as a reason to not even bother with people. His past words and actions show that he also feels that way about American citizens based on their color/race/ancestry. It's despicable.

We also destroyed Libya, Egypt, Syrian, Yemen, and Tunisia.

Don't sell the Obama foreign policy short, pal!

My taxes support a broken welfare system that allows immigrants to feed off of hard working Americans.

This is not comparable to the people who came here 100 years ago and had to work to survive. Today, anyone in the US can stop working and still have basic needs.

And please lose some weight

The issue is not about welfare or your support of it. The issue is an ignorant, racist president.

Having had to work to survive doesn't mitigate the fact that most of our ancestors, including yours, were peasants who came to the New World to escape from shitholes in the Old World. Live with it.

Trump was using it as a proxy for the people. Which is disgusting. But no one should be surprised. Trump is disgusting.

Who is the left? Whose apology would actually count as being on behalf of the left, one from the politicians or one from the people? If Chuck Schumer apologized but millions on Twitter still berated Donald for his crude comments would it be good enough for you? What about the reverse, if dozens of apologetic posts from liberals started popping up on DCUM but Nancy Pelosi stood steadfast to her opinion that Donald's words were racist would that be insufficient? Face it you wouldn't be "satisfied" unless EVERYBODY abandoned any and all opinions that are in opposition to yours because you don't care about what is/isn't right, you just care about being right no matter how jacked up your positions and perspectives are. Self-centered pieces of shit like you are the kryptonite of this country.

Until you can provide irrefutable proof , I think there has been no war on the African continent that has come anywhere close to world war 1 and 2 but please keep wallowing in your ignorance

In fact, most of our ancestors came here from shitholes. The American dream is a penny less immigrant becoming wealthy through hard work. Trump would replace that dream with a racially clean vision of a white America.

We give them millions in aid so these countries can help themselves. Where is it?

You do realize that most of the problems are our fault. Read a history book.

The devil is in the details. Now they get taxpayer subsidies

Many people live in shitty conditions and that's a fact that those countries would acknowledge. But referring to a country as a shit hole is an insult.

Please provide some images of wonderful Cathedrals, beautiful cities, pristine natural landscapes from Haiti and Africa. And a list of famous inventors and great thinkers to come out of these places. How many Nobel prize winners have come out of Africa or Haiti?

I can show you before/after photos of US cities that were once clean, beautiful and thriving. And now are shitholes.

And I’ll give you the common denominator in these shitty places

I'm an African immigrant turned citizen , I think at the core of this issue is America's failure to teach its true history to its citizens through a non revisionist lens . I don't care if I'm told I come from a shithole country ( if I'm told this in an insulting or perjorative way) . I have mentioned in another thread , not sure what happened to it , that the shithole comment in and of itself wasn't really problematic anymore than it was contradictory . Who else is supposed to immigrate? Your European ancestors were overwhelmingly piss poor, illiterate , diseased , hungry and deeply traumatized by the endless wars in which Europe was mired in by the time they reached the American shores . For those looking to get a temporary high from their smugness , xenophobia and barely disguised racism , know this , you're spitting on the graves of your own ancestors



Trump's comments about bringing more immigrants from Norway should come as a surprise to exactly no one who pays attention to politics in this country . Republicans want to put draconian immigration laws to reverse the ongoing tectonic demographic change that they perceive as hugely disadvantageous to them. When you're the de facto white nationalist party and you're seeing less and less of your core group and more and more of a group that you've chosen to write off for half a century , panic sets in

The head of state, president of the United States should NEVER call friendly, trade partner, foreign nations vile names.

Why is this such a difficult concept for trump followers to understand?

Well that's pretty funny cause I definitely feel like a civilization-destroying country. See Iraq.

The US is a civilization destroying country, and many of the "shithole" countries or territories were once under the thumb of the US: Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba, Panama, Phillippines, Haiti, Guam
