      You don't have to use the word "shithole" to describe a shithole.  Dems are offended by Trump calling these places shitholes, but then use similar language to describe these places when Trump wants to deport them back to these places.  Dems want everyone to believe that these places are utopian paradises until Trump wants to send people back there, then it's a shithole that no one wants to live in.

      The western world is turning into a shithole because we're letting in all these 3rd worlders.  Australia has African machete gangs.  The UK is 3rd in the world for acid attacks.  Sweden has migrants throwing hand grenades at police and no go areas.  Look at how lovely Paris is.    Paris is a shithole.

      Turning over your tax return is not a legal requirement.    Trump "leaked" his own tax return and it turned into a "nothing burger", as Rachel Maddow found out.

      Dems are not doing "oversight" they are trying to ruin Trump.  Mueller found nothing.

      Dems refuse to work with Trump because they are butt hurt that he's no Killary.

      Obama did fuck all for the country.  He race baited and spread proven lies, as did most Dems, including my own Congresswoman Shiela Jackson Lee.

      Your party cares less about you and your fellow blacks than they do about illegals.  New York state has money for illegals to go to college, but very little for citizens.  California, likewise, has money for illegals, but none for the homeless and poor citizens.

      In 2015, Scotland officially had 38,000 homeless citizens.  The excuse was that there are not enough welfare houses for them.  Oddly, they were able to find 2,000 homes for migrants that they imported from Lybia.

        I think Trump and even Cummings are actors in a way so I do not want to think too much about what actors happen to say and why.
        Probably they try to use drama/histeria to their advantage somehow.

        white people have contributed to a lot of brutality

        Because they acheived level of economic, technological and cultural progress other countries have failed to acheive.

        Countries that fail to acheive certain level can be called shitholes by these parameters.

        Calling some failed country a shithole does not make a white guy a "racist".
        It is either true or false statement.

        Anyway the west is the source of a lot of greatness at this point.
        And there are specific crimes also (Lybia and Iraq are good candidates) but I doubt that Haiti or even slavery is on the list.
        Stopping slavery in the civilized world is probably on the list of "things to be greatful for".

        There is a bunch of other things on the list that happen to be ignored by some individuals who also like to blame "America" or "white people" for other countries being shitholes.
        But say europeans had a lot of wars among each other and they are still doing well.
        And for example Japan lost the war.
        And japaneese do not blame americans for living in a shithole because they are not living in one.

          I have yet to hear an explanation for why EVERY majority-black area of the country–-regardless of socioeconomic status---is referred to as "infested" while actual majority-white poverty-stricken, drug-ridden areas aren't called that term. Can anyone provide an explanation? If not, then how exactly are you going to persuade me that President Trump isn't racist? My opinion is that he is racist and one of the many reasons why I think so is because of the difference in terminology he uses to describe black people and white people. Can anyone provide me with evidence of President Trump referring to a non-black area of the country as "infested?" Yes or no are simple answers for a simple question.

            I have a feeling you are internalizing things based on your race.

            Not every majority area regardless of socioeconomic status is  INFESTED.    I doubt you can show any evidence that Trump or anyone else has ever said that.

            Trump attacks those that attack him.  That is well known.  I doubt many Dems from the Wes Virginia hollers are constantly attacking me.

              Why not attack using valid, sound arguments to counter what his critics are saying? Why does he have to go full-on racist every single time? If I were to criticize the president in person, he would most likely make the racist and invalid counter-argument that I'm an uneducated thug who has probably spent time in prison when in reality I come from a working-class Christian family and I have a bachelor's degree. I'm done with this president and if the 2018 midterms are any clue, the 3 states responsible for this president have changed their minds on him. If they haven't, Democrats need to win the Senate back and keep the House with enough numbers to make sure he is powerless and can't even veto anything. If we're in recession by the election, it will be a Democratic landslide. His racism won't matter then because he'll simply be a figurehead with no real power.

                I think you are conflating criticism with racism.    Let me guess, you get your "news" from The Root.

                It's funny how you ignore all the good Trump has done for non-whites.    The jobless rate for non-whites is it's lowest in an extremely long time, if not forever.

                Also, Trump is right.  If you are gonna sling shit, make sure your house is in order first.

                  This president has done nothing to help non-whites except get a supermajority of us on the same page to vote him the hell out next year. It is a fact that more people are working; however, one person is working multiple jobs just to make ends meet and is still in poverty. Let's see how well the economy is doing when his tariffs and tax cuts bring on a bigger recession than 2008.

                  And once again, he has never referred to white poverty-stricken drug-ridden areas as "infested" before. Ever. The moment he does that on live TV or writes it on Twitter, then I won't use it as an example of why he's racist. I'm pretty sure you know he won't stop though. It wouldn't matter if the person who attacks him is rich, poor, gay, straight, etc.; if they're black he's going to call their city/town/neighborhood "infested" because he's a bigot and that's what bigots do. They see all black people as piss poor hoodlums with no values no matter where we come from. Donald Trump truly is no different than the bigots I've encountered my whole life in South Carolina.

                    It says a lot about you that you can't even admit that non-white employment records are the highest they have been since they've kept such records.

                    Tax cuts don't tend to bring recessions.

                    And once again, he doesn't tend to get attacked by Reps from poverty-stricken white areas.

                    Let's not forget that it's your party that cares more about illegals than poverty-stricken areas regardless of skin color.

                    NYC spends 10x more on sending illegals to college than they do on all the services the families of fallen soldier's & first responder's families ($27 million vs $2.7 million).  The Chairwoman admitted they needed to do more for them, but there was no money left over.    Service to your country/state is less important than being illegal.

                    Like in Scotland, there's no money for the native homeless population, but there's plenty of money for economic migrants.  Scotland raised income taxes to bolster welfare, but nothing is improving on the ground, except that we're importing more people from 3rd world shitholes so they can get a welfare check.

                      Let's give a big hand for low wage McDonald's jobs and other jobs like it where non-whites have to work 3x harder than whites and STILL receive less money and opportunities :cheers: Thanks to our Lord & Savior aka the "Chosen One" Donald J. Trump!

                      I'm so glad I never have and never will drink the orange Kool-Aid. When the recession comes, I'll be proud to say I NEVER supported the criminal-in-chief.

                      He's been attacked by white congressmen and white congresswomen who represent districts from all over the socioeconomic spectrum and never called their districts "infested." John Lewis' district isn't poverty-stricken and it was called "infested." How come he never calls out Katie Porter (D-CA45) and call her district "infested?" She's attacked him plenty of times and he's never mentioned her name. He never seems to mention white people who call him out and when he does, he's never as disgusting with them as he is with black people who call him out. He never even used the term "infested" with Hillary Clinton. It's always with black people. Hmm  :blond:

                        STILL receive less money

                        Employed person should earn more then unemployed person.

                        It is almost like you perceive every problem as if it is because of white people.
                        Looking at the political circus in the US one can notice that this obession is quite common.

                        Low unemployment is there not for "non-white voters". It s for productive individuals with potential.
                        Anyway "non-white voters" as a group have a clear direction.

                          Blacks who vote Dem tend to believe that whites are the devil, so nothing they (blacks) do is their fault.

                          Repub blacks tend to believe in personal responsibility.

                          Poor white males get fuck all but wealthy privileged blacks get AA.  Dem blacks see nothing wrong with that.

                            Once again, if the economy was doing so well then everyone would be able to work at the most 1 job and be able to at least pay their bills and not qualify for food stamps. Instead, we have people working 2,3, and even 4 jobs and are still struggling. Those at the top who offer employment were given pretty a big tax cut December 2017. Where are the opportunities to pull people out of poverty as a result of giving the tax cut? Where are your stats from reputable sources showing an unbelievable drop in the poverty rate and an expansion of the middle class as a result of the tax cut and the deregulation this president has been pushing since taking office?

                            You have no data. You have no evidence. All you have are childish accusations of Communism at someone who is a supporter of regulated Capitalism.

                              Clearly, your only evidence is from The Root, CNN, MSNBC and the like.

                              Do you honestly expect everyone to have a utopian job, just because unemployment rates for nonwhites began are the lowest ever.

                              I bet you didn't have the same lunatic claims when Obama bragged about how great his figures were.  Like some many of your kind, you suffer from self loathing and racism of low expectations.
