‘Here is what my #s-hole looks like’: African countries and Haiti react to Trump’s remark
The Washington Post ^ | January 12, 2018 | By Paul Schemm and Eli Rosenberg

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — President Trump’s dismissal of Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “s-hole countries” whose inhabitants are not desirable for U.S. immigration shocked people around the world and provoked swift condemnation.

“The African Union Commission is frankly alarmed at statements by the president of the United States when referring to migrants of African countries and others in such contemptuous terms,” said Ebba Kalondo, the spokeswoman for the African Union.

The reaction from the United Nations human rights spokesman, Rupert Colville, was uncharacteristically blunt. He described the remark as “racist.”

In Haiti, people took to Twitter to share pictures of their country — verdant green hills, palm trees in the sunset, and sparkling turquoise water.

“Hey #S-HolePresident!” wrote Harold Isaac. “Here is what my #s-hole looks like.”

The deputy secretary general of the African National Congress, the party once led by Nelson Mandela, hit back at Trump’s comment during a news conference in South Africa.

“Ours is not a s-hole country. Neither is Haiti or any other country in distress,” Jessie Duarte said.

Apparently none of these countries are shitholes, so it is safe to require that all their nationals return to them at once, and no more visa’s issued to their citizens, so they can escape the racism of the US.

Japans’ greatest resource is a highly disciplined, intelligent, homogeneous population.

Notice to all residents and descendants of S-hole countries:

Great, happy you like your country. Stay there and get out of ours if you are here.

See you at the horse races.

Well, perhaps above the Sahara isn’t a total shithole.

One can only note that Harold Isaac considers himself
a “Citizen of the world” on his twitter page.

If Haiti is so beautiful, in what part of Haiti does
he live.

Big deal. Even shithole countries do have their nice areas where the wealthy live.

I agree that NJ is our #1 shithole state. But let’s not forget Maryland or Illinois.

Like I heard a long time ago:

USA, 200+ years of history, put a man on the moon

Africa, over 5000 years of history, still pee in their drinking water

Haiti is a shithole. More importantly, Little Haiti, Miami, FL is a also a shithole.

Little Mogadishu, Minneapolis is a shithole. One that even produces terrorists as a U.S. export product.

Bad cultures produce bad immigrants which make our country worse.

I was born in daBronx. I know Black people who wouldn’t be caught dead in the sh!thole neighborhoods there. We lived in a “mixed” neighborhood in Spring Valley. Many of our neighbors knew all too well what it’s like living in a sh!thole.
