Unnamed sources are once again claiming president Trump said outrageous things, including calling Haiti and parts of Africa "shi*holes." No one is sure this actually happened, but it sounds true, so the Washington Post ran with it. But it brings up an interesting point. Are we allowed to point out that there are places in the world that are not ideal, or are we pretending all countries are equal? This seems demonstrably ridiculous, yet the left is acting super-offended at the suggestion that some countries are shi*hole-ish.

This doesn't explain why the elite don't vacation in Haiti and Cape Town.
The following is my list of shi*holes I never want to visit, in no particular order.
1. Haiti A quick search of Haitian vacations found that a person could have a full week in Haiti for $600, airfare included. If that isn't a screaming red flag, I don't know what is. The reason it's so cheap is that you have a high likelihood of never returning. If you don't get murdered, you will probably get a disease.

Detroit. Baltimore. Camden,NJ. Minni/St.Paul ...etc.
BTTT...
I live in LA..there is this mall about 10 min from me, used to be absolutely beautiful, it was the spot in town to hang out in..now you can’t walk two steps without falling over a homeless person..you cross the street to get away from one, and out pops another one. How about we take care of our OWN people before we worry about other countries problems
Too many US cities are. Sad.
Agreed! For the record, the Somali shithole has been relocated to Minneapolis!!
El Salvador, Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, and US Congress.
What a clickbait site.
To save others the effort
1 Haiti
2 Anywhere ending in ...stan or Iran
3 Tecoman Mexico (not clear why it beat out some of the other garden spots of Mexico
4 Somalia
5 North Korea
6 Venezuela
7 Detrot
8 New Orleans
9 India
10 Anywhere in Africa where you have to walk somewhere to get water.
Chicago
That is what parts of Iquitos, Peru (along the Amazon River) looks like.
Two positive aspects are that most everyone is content staying in the Amazon and crime rate is very low.
Puerto Rico pre and post, "Maria"
Pretty hard to think that Somalia is only #4. If you found yourself in that s**thole, the chances of making it out alive are probably worse than the other nine...combined.
Looks like a place on the Ganges river, India.
“How about we take care of our OWN people before we worry about other countries problems”
That needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
I have neighbors that will fly half way around the world (literally) to aid those ‘less fortunate’, but totally ignore the people half a block away who are desperate need of help.
Flaming liberals of course.
LOL - Detroit is on the list...
When in Kenya, don’t drink water.
Drink Tusker beer.
As a lifelong resident of what would eventually become a “white flight” bedroom community 20+ miles north of downtown Detroit, Michigan, I resent that #7 on the list is some other place called “Detrot”.
When in Kenya, don’t drink water.
Drink Tusker beer.
