It is surprising how someone from Africa think it's OK for Trump to call Africa a shithole and not feel insulted. For God's sake what kind of depraved mind will think that is normal? Do you know the meaning of shithole? An extremely dirty, shabby and stinking place, like your latrine, a waste place where you dump your feces. And someone think it is okay to call Africa that. What kind of mad thinking is that? Even in our primitive age, we were nothing like that, our forefathers were clean and decent enough not to sleep and eat where they shit.

True Africa has it's many problems from leadership to economic woes like many other developing nations... but for someone who simply because he was born with a silver spoon and inherited $400m to look at us and call us people from shithole and someone from Africa thinks it's okay is beyond me. Certainly such person will have no problem with an outsider insulting his father whenever there is a misunderstanding between him and his father. We can insult ourselves and call our leaders names but it is not OK for an outsider to do so. Blacks call themselves niggars but they all know it is an insult when an outsider / white call them so.

Am I happy with the state of Africa? Certainly No. But I certainly have no love for a fat racist pig calling it a shithole neither will it ever be OK with me. What is wrong with some of you Africans sef? Trump made a denigrating remark about Detroit recently, he didn't call the place anything near a shithole, yet many of them felt offended. But in Africa some Africans rub the name shithole on themselves as a badge of honor because a rich man and entertainer like Trump said so. Are you bleeping kidding me?
That is an emotional response. Some people prefer to be told the way it is

Your car is broken down but you prefer your friend telling you it's brand new just so you can feel good with it. Or you have a wound that's rotting but you prefer your neighbor tell you that its just a regular skin

Okay, Africa is not a shithole, it's first world, it's actually paradise only that 90% of the people want to escape from the paradise

While some felt offended by his comment about Detroit some liked the honesty. Trump is not your regular politician who will see black and call it white just to sound politically correct

it is not racist to call Africa a shithole, you don't understand how the word is used. In the Uk, it is used a lot to call some parts of London shithole. in the US it is used a lot to call places a shithole, especially Ohio.

asked yourself why no one cares will-I-am call some communities in the United States Shithole on CNN?

it is how everyone calls the virus China virus or Wuhan virus till trump did the same thing suddenly he is racist

Don't come here and give us any nonsense lecture on race or racism and how Trump hates Africans

Go and face these actual black men

Finally while Obummer and Hillary destabilized Africa. Trump on the other hand left Africa alone to succeed or fail on its own merits. That is good enough for me

Even in America there are shitholes so let's hear word. There are places in Mississippi worse than 3rd world countries, Philly, Baltimore, Oakland

Dumps exist everywhere. Trump does not have to call Nigeria a shithole. The number of people that sleep in Walter Carrington does that for us already. Sorry we're not snowflakes like y'all. We can handle the truth

Is it racist to say Asians are shorter or blacks are faster or say middle east is a terror hole or Mexico or Colombia is a cartel ridden country, or Africa is corrupt

It's the fake outrage that the media encourages. Everyone is now pretending it's not a shithole because Trump said it

Just like the media tried to sell that when Trump said it's a bloodbath at the border he is threatening to kill people

Man City promises bloodbath an the Emirate means Man city killed Arsenal

When I say Bemuruca you don't know Maths I wish I can split your head and put the book in it, next thing you go report to police that Ramdeuter wants to commit murder and break your head

People are smarter than that and they understand what he meant by shithole. Africans are not even angry, it's mostly non Africans angry on behalf of Africans

The people at Walter Carrington are even the elites, you don see the people wey dey trek through Sahara?

But na because someone tells you the way it is that's why you dey vex? No wonder someone will put plank on top gutter and claim he has beautified your community and you will clap because you don't want him to tell you the way it is

Like I said Africans no dey vex, we live in real world. We are not snowflakes who will eat chicken but don't want to see where it's raised or killed

It's probably one white liberal who has never been to Africa and probably calls us worse in his house that's gassing em up to be angry because he called it what we all know

Obalgwa1 does not understand what he is being fed. put your emotions aside. Since Trump's alleged remark, More Nigerians have been scrambling to leave the country and as a result, a lot of them are slaves in Libya or they perish in the desert or drown in the sea. things are getting worse. shit hole is used to call a lot of things.

You might not see it as an insult for an outsider to insult your family, but I do. And Yes I am very emotional about it and I take it personal. Such narratives is part of (not only) what gave some of these immigration officers I can conveniently pay their salaries at the point of entries the courage to act foolishly whenever they seen my green passport. Yes it's personal for me.

There is no truth an outsider will tell me about my family or country that I don't know better, I live in the reality of my family and country unlike an outsider. Trump was not telling any truth but insulting.

Yeah as an outsider, go and tell those people to their faces that they are living in a shithole and see how they will embrace you for telling them the truth.

Many Africans admit their countries are shithole yet you say Trump is not telling the truth. Today take a poll of Nigerian youths and ask Is Nigeria a shithole or paradise and see the answer

Immigration officers act based on information and trends with our behavior. They just need to see the number of people at embassies, the nimber of people trekking to get to the border, the data of applicants per country to arrive at their conclusion

Obama claimed he deported more people than any other president but he didn't call you shithole so you are happy with that

lol Dayo, we all know Africa is not Paradise.

Propaganda na real bastard. Obummer was the Deporter in Chief. Deported more people than any other President in history, It was under his watch DV-Lottery stopped for Nigerians but Orange man bad.

Nigerian Democrats swear by him cos he get sweet mouth.

I give it to the Democrats though. They have mastered the sleight of hand trick to a T. That for some reason Nigerian Democrats think a Trump presidency is the problem not realizing Obummer and the Democrats did absolutely nothing for them either

6 and half a dozen. All these words because you will feel emotional about the truth.

You are admitting Nigeria is a shithole and at the same time saying Trump was lying about calling Nigeria a shithole.

Lol. I understand your shock. I will explain it to you why some of these Nigerians support Trump who doesn't give a damm about their existence.

For the likes of raumdeuter, he is a conservative who naturally supports his conservative ideas and party. Deep down in his mind he would have preferred a real conservative candidate to Trump... But for now he is stuck with Trump like many others in his party.

But for these Nigerians in Nigeria supporting Trump, it started in 2015 after Obama gave a speech before the Nigeria election encouraging Nigerians to go out en mass and vote and sustain democracy. Some Nigerians took it that Obama was interfering with Nigeria election and campaigning against Jonathan's ruling party. When Jonathan eventually lost the election some members of his party (not all) blame and hated Obama and his party. Since then they will rather support Trump who insults them than support anyone Obama supports.
I'm going to disagree with you here, I know Raum's type in the US. He isn't a true conservative. He doesn't have consistent conservative views, just jumps around depending on what he thinks the Republican party stands for. And even if he did. I have never met a person who can explain how a person can be both a Black person and a conservative. The definition of Conservatism is to maintain the status quo, the status quo doesn't afford equality to people with black skin.

He's someone who thinks he mildly did something with his life and thus he should be white adjacent. Because only white people do something with themselves. It's the lynchpin of his language of Dems being victims and Dem victimhood.
It's peculiar, because he's not uberly successful or educated. That's not an insult but there are different levels to it.
For some people to feel better about themselves there has to be an in group that they belong to and an out group that they can shit on.
That's the Republican mantra. Raum needs to feel he belongs to that in group. I can't respect anyone like that.

As to Obama, I can see some people who dislike him for that. But I think Nigerians hate for Obama and Dems comes down to religion and being uninformed. I hear too many people I know in Nigeria talk about the US being a cesspool of immorality. It's kinda shocking given where Nigeria is right now.

But as I keep saying it's hard to compare two things if you never experienced the other.
