"What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa, Trump is Right."
American Thinker ^ | Karin McQuillan

Posted on 01/17/2018 8:25:32 PM PST by lastchance

Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."

In plain English: s--- is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. ...

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better than a third-world country. Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.

Last time I was in Paris, I saw a beautiful African woman in a grand boubou have her child defecate on the sidewalk next to Notre Dame Cathedral. The French police officer, ten steps from her, turned his head not to see.

I have seen. I am not turning my head and pretending unpleasant things are not true. ... The Ten Commandments were not disobeyed – they were unknown. The value system was the exact opposite. You were supposed to steal everything you can to give to your own relatives. There are some Westernized Africans who try to rebel against the system. They fail.

We hear a lot about the kleptocratic elites of Africa. The kleptocracy extends through the whole society. My town had a medical clinic donated by international agencies. The medicine was stolen by the medical workers and sold to the local store. If you were sick and didn't have money, drop dead. That was normal.

We are so blessed to live where we do. I think Trump needs to emphasize that not every country shares our core values. That should be taken into account in the immigration debate.

Places are fecal pits because of the people who populate them.

“a fecalized environment.”

AKA “sh*thole”.

Well, last week, a woman crapped on the sidewalk (3rd Street Tunnel and Massachusetts Avenue NW in DC), right near the Georgetown University Law School.

She was out asking for money from cars that emerged from the tunnel. She does act and look like she’s homeless and of low intelligence/ Or, as they would say at the law school, in the alternative, she could be a Democrat.

The liberal drum beat is that everyone is exactly the same except for a different paint job. The facts say otherwise.

The left wants to tear down western values and they think they are talented enough to build a country that meets their (marxist) beliefs. The immigrants that made their own countries s^holes will certainly do the same here. The leftists will never have the ability to build anything from the rubble. They are only brilliant in their own minds.

Karin McQuillan is speaking the hard truth. Liberal elites like Bill Clinton pushed African lies because ‘hell on earth’ dictators pay big bucks for ‘speeches’...

Go into a public restroom on the Texas/Mexico border and you’ll see the trash can full of “used” toilet paper. Gross!

Haiti and Somalia are what they are because they are full of Haitians and Somalians respectively.

This woman’s analysis of the difference between Western culture and others (here it is African/Moslem) is one of the best articles I have read on the subject (by someone who was there).

I got my degree and some graduate work in Anthropology, so I understand what she is talking about. And I understand what Pres. Trump was trying to say (to a pack of overeducated, anthropologically-challenged reporters, for the most part).

I saw first hand in So. Vietnam that a culture which is basically much different from ours can adopt the best that we can offer them in terms of bettering their lives (the use of fertilizer for increased crop yields and more harvest; the use of small boat propeller devices to pump water up the levels of rice paddies; the use of small rototillers to get the planting and harvesting done much more quickly than to do it all by hand; the use of plastic-sealed land deeds for new land owners; the use of gasoline generators to light up a village, etc).

Africa, despite having had British, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and a little Portuguese influences over the centuries, is still about two centuries behind the times economically, about 1000 years behind the times re their Islamic religion, and politically about 75 years behind the times re national organization and administration.

There are a few African countries that once had made it but Marxist/socialist and assorted political dictators (Nkrumah, any leader of the Sudan, Eritrea, the Red Terror in Ethiopia, the Odinga Marxist/Islamic mob in Kenya, Mugabe in Zimbabwe, the Marxists in So. Africa, and the various tribal dictators of western/middle Africa, plus Gaddafi), show that they are not able, for the most part, to become westernized in the traditional sense, either there or here.

Compare them to the So. Koreans, So. Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians who have adapted to American life while maintaining the good of their native cultures. I worked with S. Vietnamese refugees in the 1970’s and our organization decided to help them “acculturize and acclimatize” to life in the U.S. by showing them how to shop in supermarkets, fill out forms, publish their own newspapers (ours was bilingual), to learn English, etc.

You can’t take a camel herder and make him into an auto mechanic if he doesn’t know how a car or truck works. It’s that simple. You can teach him how to fix his own truck in his own country and set up a small business to help others (hiring people and training some).

We didn’t need any more Third World shit-holes in America. We already have enough in No/West Philadelphia, West and Central Baltimore, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Detroit, S. F and LA, and parts of Chicago, among other cities.

"Places are fecal pits because of the people who populate them."

BINGO!

And wherever they go they recreate the same fecal pits.

And this pretty much explains why.
