Trump is not a racist

[marc]

if you can't see the difference between "deplorable" and "shithole", you are more illiterate than Trump.

Interesting how those upset about the “deplorable” comment conveniently forget it was referring to racists.

And imagine being so stupid that you did not understand what Hillary meant when she talked about the basket of deplorables, she was talking about the racist alt right. No surprise that Trausti got his feelings hurt.

It is incredible, that people condoning Trump's statement seem to completely not understand that such behavior reinforces Hillary Clinton's statement, not contradict it. The fucking right-wing snowflakes are so cowardly. They love to judge and bully complete strangers, but the second they come under a microscope, they freeze up and flutter to the ground.

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

Yup, no surprise at all.

One important reason Haiti is in the shape it's in is the debt imposed on it by France.

I agree with Trump 100%. We don’t need to bring in anyone from a shit hole country.

Any immigrants wanting to come here should have an IQ of no less than 110. The shit hole countries don’t offer much in intellectual people.

43% of immigrants to the USA from African countries have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 33% of the overall American population.

More than 25% of Nigerian-Americans have a graduated degree compared to only 11% of white Americans.

Perhaps we should immigrate more people from African countries and Haiti and the other countries Trump calls "shitholes", and deport the clearly-low-IQ Trump supporters and their racist Dear Leader, Trump himself.

I agree with KUSA. I think we really need to weed out the US to make room for college grads from other nations. We'll start with the Bible belt. After all, if being born in the US shouldn't automatically make you a citizen, why should the crowded United States be stuffed with ignorant high school educated idiots? Let's kick them out and bring the smart masses to our nation to replace them.

I like that idea, but we also need a system to weed out college-"educated" idiots like Trump, too

That a place is a shithole is a reason not to go TO it, and a reason to want to come FROM it.

There is no particular reason why somebody coming from a shithole would be undesirable; It shows that he has good judgment, in preferring your nation over his shithole; and is a compliment to your nation.

Unless you want your immigrants all to be people of poor judgment, who choose to move from nice places like Norway to shitholes like the USA.

Import the third world become the third world.

That's why I never put ice in my Whiskey. I like it "Neat"... "Pure", as it's called in Holland, I recently discovered. If you put ice in your Whisky, it turns it into a glass of plain tap water. nobody wants to drink plain tap water.

Now Trumpo is bald faced lying, denying he said "shithole". Despite trustworthy witnesses who have stated he did in fact use that term. I don't know which is more offensive. His initial statement, or the follow up lies.

What is worse that his followers will deny he said it (FAKE NEWS!!!), but then defend the statement he didn't make. Fuck his apologists!

Hmmm...a distaste for Mexicans, Haitians, Africans, Muslim countries (the Middle East), and favoritism for Asia, Europe, including old enemy Russia...

What are the statistical odds?

Does Trump really think no one from a "shithole" country should emigrate to the US when some of the countries are not shitholes, and even if they were it's not a reason to block them off completely? His argument and premises are wrong. Is he authentic?

 

[PyramidHead]

Nationalism is what drives his comments more than anything. If white Norwegians were as economically downtrodden as native Haitians, he would be calling Norway a shithole too. Trump doesn't care why people aren't winners in his eyes. He just doesn't want people who doesn't regard as winners, because all he cares about is winning and making the thing he is in charge of be a winning team. The country is one big sports club to him, and he views his goal as making the US club better than everyone else, not by improving the lot of the average American, but by making sure resources are spent on recruiting the 'best players' and fostering the top players that are already on our team, rather than making sure everyone is having a fun and fair game. He thinks the measure of a country is how well it does in the playoffs (how rich its richest citizens are), not how happy and healthy the average player is (even if the team doesn't win at everything).

Don't need to import anyone for THAT to happen. Just follow shithead's lead; the US is becoming more and more of a shithole every day under His Leadership.
His fat mouthpiece says this is "to make sure that he does what he's promised to do; and that's stand up and protect the American people" ... in Norway. The rest of us who are already here are subject to his ethnic cleansing.

He is a shinning example of what is wrong with a capitalist society. From cradle to grave, the pursuit of happiness is synonymous with the pursuit of money. What he doesn't understand because he is not well-traveled, because he is not inquisitive, is there are plenty of intelligent and talented people stuck in countries with no opportunity to exploit their talents, to show the world what they can do. Further, he does not understand that a diversity of culture feeds the creativity of a nation. He makes sweeping derogatory comments about entire nations, about entire peoples out of ignorance. Worse still, he has no desire to fight his way out of that ignorance.

The thing is, even if we were to agree a particular country is a ‘shithole’, how is that in any way the individuals fault? It is very likely the state of that country is due to factors such as economic exploitation, corruption, and religious/political extremism. Many of the people who are against those people immigrating are the same ones supporting those same factors here, thus they are the ones helping to turn this into a third world country

 

[PyramidHead]

If taking in people from economically less prosperous nations is what turns countries into shitholes, then history should have some examples of previously thriving first-world countries that are now desolate because they took in too many immigrants from poor nations. What are some such places?

Isn;t it true the Igbo and Hausa people in Nigeria score highest on intelligence tests than other people in other parts of the world?

They still have a low IQ.

Thought that was supposed to be the Ashkenazi Jews... (also beloved by Dear Leader)

The biggest factor in making a country a shithole is a fucked-up government.

you pulled that out of your ass. I'll do the same thing. the biggest factor in making a country a shithole are catastrophic events that a single, small govt cannot handle such as aggressive war by a bigger nation, major earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear fallout, etc.
