So you never cursed before?

This was supposed to be a private conversation.

Would you live in Haiti if you had the opportunity? Do you think it's a well-functioning country? I don't even know how many billions of dollars were thrown there and nothing improved. It actually got worse. The victims are Haitians people, but where did the money go? No wonder the Haitian ambassador got offended, he was probably personally involved.

Why does it matter that it's public vs private?

It's all the same to me, and does great damage to the dignity of the office.

 

I was taught to behave respectable whether in private or public. Standards... it's a thing my s-hole country immigrant great-grandparents passed on.

I think we can agree that racism isn't exclusive to one certain country, or race.

 

However, if you pretend to be better then certain countries, as in developed, civilization etc, then why kick down on those countries.

 

Acknowledging that there is room for improvement is different than disrespectfully talking about those countries.

 

Btw, you mentioned earlier that people from Naples call it a ****hole ( saving TBoneTX the time to edit). People from all/ most countries do that. In the Netherlands people from Amsterdam think people from region X live in a ****hole. But it becomes a different situation when someone else says that.

 

It's the same thing what Berlusconi said about the Obama's.

It's all about the underlying message.

Great, do not vote for him then, who cares about your grades?

What are 'our values'? We all come from different backgrounds and have different cultures, and that's great. We should respect the Constitution (if we live here) and federal, state, and local laws.

Then our "values" are subjective.

Denigration of other societies, cultures our countries are not American Values.

And that's just lynchings.... can't forget the 1998 brutal murder of James Byrd and so many others.

 

KKK is everywhere here... it's common to find flyers left. We get them in the city too... back in the day they'd enjoy driving around with swastikas painted on their trucks out in the open.

 

So only KKK people are racist? I've witnessed attacks on white kids by a mob of angry black kids, just because they were white. That never makes the news, although it happens all the time in NY or LA.

In London, there used to be hunting games against Italians (or someone else).

In Russia let's just say it's not really cool even if you're a non-Slavic white person (forget about being black, and there are many).

exactly. and the kkk is all about 'sticking up for' white people by limiting immigration to other white people. just like trump and co.

So let's just say Haiti (and many other countries) is an extremely corrupt, ran by criminals, forgotten-by-god country.

Would that make you feel better? Is it more PC?

No one is saying that the conditions the people from Haiti live in, are great. 

 

It's the message of the POTUS ( disclaimer, if he said it) that isn't ok.

I don't know. It's a pretty accurate definition of '****hole country' to me.

Wow, honestly I've never experienced anything like that. I'm not sure how I would feel or react.

Hi! I've lived in London and Los Angeles, and I've yet to see any "white people hunting" going on in either. Do you have any links to articles on "white people hunting"?

I am sick and tired of it. Things must be said the way they are.

When the US Ambassador to the US said they would have taken names and a few days after cut the US payment to the UN, I was ecstatic.

I grew up in the inner city. Never saw gangs of black persons attacking a white person (unless you count the riots).  But I did see the damage the neo-nazis would do to properties of Jewish, immigrant, and black communities... and they still do.

 

I'm not really discussing racism in other countries here.. but I'm well familiar of racism and Anti-Semitism in the UK. It's increasing in Europe and it's increasing here too. Never heard of white hunting, is that like fox hunting or something that May wants to bring back?

angry black kids beating up white kids, smh. is this because they feel the black race is superior to the white race and they'd like to kill off as many whites as possible to purify their own or because actual racism inflicted on black americans feeds into a generational cycle of anger that gets misplaced in violence by youth?
