trump is the kind of openly racist and xenophobic president a great many white americans adore.
whether liberals or democrats come out and refer to countries like haiti as shit-holes, or not, is irrelevant when the policies they support treat those countries as so-called shit-holes. democrats and republicans, alike, have bombed developing nations for decades.
they have also instituted nefarious sanctions on countries like zimbabwe and iraq,
which have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, including children and elderly. when these policies were either being initiated or continued, democrats
(and their constituent followers) supported these pernicious actions without pause.
these facts are hardly debatable by anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty.
george w. bush may have started the so-called war on terror
and indiscriminate drone bombings,
but it was barack obama who used drones to bomb several countries
at a far higher clip than that of bush.
as a matter of fact, obama committed more drone bombings in his first year in office
than bush did in eight years.
each of those countries that were bombed were treated like shit-holes.
a shit-hole is a place that is expendable and considered nothing more than waste.
it is a place that is likened to excrement.
when a nation is bombed with no regard to the human life within that country,
or its infrastructure, does one really need to refer to it as a shit-hole if it is being treated
as one?
a shit-hole is a place that is expendable and considered nothing more than waste.
black agenda report.
- i would just add that we only destroy the most select shit-holes, and the shit we extract makes the destroyers rich.
