Africans, Others Rally Against Trump’s Racist Remarks by RealNaijaQuin: 9:58pm On Jan 15, 2018 |
@TalkTalkTwins ![]() The Africans in the diaspora would on Monday join their counterparts from Haiti, El Salvador and other countries in a rally to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump’s alleged racist remarks. The rally would also hold in New Jersey, Atlanta, Houston and across other major U.S. cities. The organisers of the event urged all people of African descent and others to attend the rally to “reject the denigration President Trump uttered against us”. The U.S. president reportedly made the comment during a meeting with congressional leaders in the Oval Office on Thursday. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump allegedly said after being presented with a proposal to restore protections for immigrants from the countries in question. The protest tagged: ‘Rally against Trump’ at Time Square on Monday, would commemorate the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Day., which celebrates the death of the civil rights icon. The Day is a Federal holiday in the U.S. falling on the third Monday of every January and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of King, who was tragically assassinated on April 4, 1968. “In response to the comments made by President Trump on Thursday about countries including Africa and Haiti, please Join Mayor Bill de Blasio in denouncing Trump at a rally at Time Square on Monday. “On MLK Day, New York City will take a stand for our sisters and brothers from Haiti, throughout Africa, El Salvador and other nations in the diaspora that have become targets of President Trump’s hatred and bigotry. “This moment is too critically important for us not to come together. “Let’s honour Dr King’s birthday by showing the world the progress being made to help achieve his dream,” Famod Konneh, Bronx Borough Director, New York City Office of the Mayor, said. However, Trump had, while signing the proclamation for King’s Day on Wednesday, said the late civil rights leader “dedicated his life to a vision: that all Americans would live free from injustice and enjoy equal opportunity as children of God”. “His strong, peaceful, and lifelong crusade against segregation and discrimination brought our Nation closer to the founding ideals set forth in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. “Today, as we come together to honour Dr King, we know that America is stronger, more just, and more free because of his life and work,” Trump said.

Is Africa not a shithole? If you wish to confirm check how people are voting with their feets. Meanwhile, Africa is not a race. Ignoramuses everywhere. Stay there make the Democratic Party de use una as puns to push their agendas. Whilst, you lots are out protesting, the white kid, the Chinese, the Japanese and the Jewish kids are in elite colleges working to discover that cure for cancer. Tomorrow you will increase your cries that the reward they receive for their hardwork is due to “white privilege”. Keep disgracing Black People in front of oyibo cameras. If you don’t like the POTUS, then carry your “bag and baggages” and head back to your shitholes! Simples. 4 Likes |

Let African leaders develop their countries so their youths won't leave their homes to America. By so doing, Trump or anybody will have the guts to make such disparaging remarks. AFRICA IS A SHIIT HOLE |

Saying Africa is a shithole has nothing to do with hatred and bigotry. Africa is hell fire actually. Maybe Trump has to repeat this a gazillion times before our useless senseless daft politicians can get to work. No light No roads Poor educational sector Thieving politicians Fulani herdsmen Boko haram Corruption Unemployment Abject poverty No human rights "Shithole" is even a compliment. 2 Likes |

These idiots should come back to Africa and protest against their leaders. If Africa is not a shithole continent, why did many of you run to America? Africans just hate the truth. Trump was even cautious on his use of words, he should have looked for a more denigrating word because Africa is even worse than shithole. |
