Trump Promoting Racist Agenda By Extending His Hatred For Obama Roots To Africa – Mmusi Maimane
January 15, 2018 – Trump Promoting Racist Agenda By Extending His Hatred For Obama Roots To Africa – Mmusi Maimane
A top US Embassy official was today summoned for a meeting in South Africa over President Donald Trump’s alleged remarks that African nations are “shithole countries.”
US President Trump’s alleged comments caused shock internationally and incurred allegations of racism, with the UN, the African Union and many individual African governments denouncing it.
In a statement on the Monday summons, the South African government referred to Trump’s comments as “disturbing” and said that while Trump has tweeted a denial, it “was not categorical.”
“Relations between South Africa and the United States, and between the rest of Africa and the United States, must be based on mutual respect and understanding,” the statement said.
On Friday, after the alleged comment prompted a media storm, Botswana’s government summoned its ambassador to the US to ask whether Botswana was considered “a shithole.”
South African politicians have reacted with disbelief regarding the remarks.
Opposition leader Mmusi Maimane called the comments “abhorrent.”
“[Trump] confirms a patronising view of Africa and promotes a racist agenda. Africa/U.S. relations will take strain from this, with a leader who has failed to reconcile humanity.
“The hatred of Obama’s roots now extends to an entire continent,” tweeted Maimane.

Trump is not racist. He is a good president unlike many African presidents. Do know how many people from African nations that died in international waters last year while trying running away from their country,it is uncountable because many were not accounted for. Because Trump has said the truth the whole world is condemning him. I like Trump because he does not hide the truth like many African presidents who are hypocrites, he says his mind and that is a quality of a good leader. during his campaign he told the people of America that it is time for America first, and that is exactly what he is doing but look at our own African countries, everywhere killings of innocent people and nobody is taking any action about that. In Nigeria cows are more valuable than human beings. what are we even saying…..lets think about our lives in our various countries. most of African presidents refused to relinquish power, they want to make the seat their inheritance…..why are we complaining. if our countries are favouring us why will people want to go to America or any other country. how many Americans do you see pouring into our countries just as our people do in their countries. we need to think about what Trump said and how our lives are in our countries and see if we are what he call us.

Those of you here supporting Donald Trump here are who claimed to be African are morons and bastard. I love the African tribe I belong, only a bastard described his or her father’s house using left hand. As North Korean leader Kim Jun In described Donald as a mentally deranged man, it is certain he saw it all. People here supporting Trump must know that whatever situation Africans met themselves, it was the fault of the Americans and European due to their endless exploitation of African continent to boost their more shithole nations devoid of resources. All these social vices we recorded here emanates from their western world. we need not deceive ourselves, nothing is going on adversely here that does no do same in America but their media houses shielded them from the people of other world. Beggars also are on their street, 80,000,000 people are jobless and homeless in America. Do we really know how many percentage of Americans living on stamped food?. If we talk of bribery and corruption, Greater percentage of American senators were bribed by the AIPAC. Meanwhile, our politician steals money here, laundered it into their country and succeeded, in such case, are they not an accomplice in corruption and crime?. We needed to think very well before we condemn ourselves and our leaders. Am not saying what our leaders are doing by not developing our African nation but not these Western nations has gut to defame us as they are real architects of our current woes. Let them devalue their respective currencies and all equal in values, we shall witness serious development in Africa but they will never allow that because they loved us not. They prefer us to be their slaves. Mind you, they can never develop if Africans are not cooperative to contribute. What gut do they have especially Trump to label is Shithole when we still recorded some Africans among the richest even more than himself. They even employed whites working for them. One may then ask, what modalities did he used in calling African a shithole that is not applicable to his country?.

Donald Trump calling african nations and haiti shithole is outrageous and highly condemnable. Such vulga comment does not speak well of a leader who’s country was also built up by people from around the world including the so called shithole africa. If Donald Trump has tangible advice to give the african leaders, must he use racial comment? How can anyone who is not afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness dismiss the entire countries and continent as shitholes? The callosal damage that might result from his vulga and outlandish comment cannot be underestimated. It could open the door to humanity worst side, validating and encouraging racism and xenophobia that might potentially disrupt and destroy the lives of many africans in diaspora. This is a sick president who’s comment is extremely offensive and is a direct affront to we africans. Did Donald Trump know that the blacks whom he foolishly referred to as shitholes are the african-american who constitute the third largest racial and ethnic group in the united states and are part of those who contributed to the technological, economical and scientific advancement that made the United State what it is today? Before America got it wheel in the right direction, they passed through the turbulent period of our african history. They also looted their national treasury. They killed. They revolted against their government. They fought civil war. Even today, every sort of despicable and questionable acts that is now part of the most attitude in african society were transported from the paradise USA. Let the dumb and bigot leader of america employ the millions of jobless and homeless americans who’s data is periodically releaseed at the end of each month. If he has nothing good in his head to tell us other than insulting the black race, then he should face his racial country, mind his business and leave africans alone. Africa will get it right. Its a matter of time.
