Shithole Racism


Shithole. Trump's racist word of the day is shithole.

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said of Haiti, and many African nations, according sources speaking to the Washington Post.

The racism is not simply about Trump calling places shitholes. Substituting the names of places in place of shithole actually makes the racism more visible.

We could spot the problem immediately if Trump instead said; Why are we letting people from Haiti, and Africa into the United States?

The offense is Trump saying regions where the the residents are primarily black or Hispanic are substandard to be American.

That is at best racist.

The fact that Trump said yet one more racist thing or appropriated a non-racist word to a racist meaning is no shocker. The fact that so many people still defend him as not racist is what shocks.

Trump has targeted people of color from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. He defended the character of public, outspoken, white supremacists.

It is no longer acceptable to pretend to not notice his racism. We now are to the point that saying you don't see the racism is at best a choice to make yourself comfortable with the choice of voting for him and at worst a strategy to further the agenda of white supremacy. 

If you are choosing to comfort yourself - stop. The right to be comfortable with racism is one of the most corrupting forms of white privilege. America needs you to get uncomfortable and have to live with the emotional repercussion consequences of your choices.

  1. My ex-boyfriend dumped me one week ago after I accused him of seeing someone else and insulting him. I wanted him back in my life again because i really love him but he refuse to have any contact with me.
