"an accurate description"
If trump thinks what he said about his stereotyping was so great,
why is he now denying it? and his cronies?
or could it be that he has established a pattern of inaccuracy?
I thought the idea of vetting was to evaluate each person, not just cast them all off based on a stereotype?

Norton, when is the last time you heard a dem criticizing any of the aforementioned countries?
That doesn't answer his question.

Seems to me that even if one uses a gold plated toilet...it's still a shithole...especially if Trump is sitting on it.

Cosmic! Re your mention:
I don't listen to the radio unless I'm in my truck driving.
And then, it's mostly the local music station.
For the last year & 1/2 I've been listening to Fox News on Sirius on my car radio, when I go somewhere by myself. (Heidi can't handle it.)
I receive Fox Headline News, which is the least rightwing, & Fox News & Fox Business News. Both of those have a heavy rightwing bias. They usually have a roundtable of conservative kooks, who enjoy being crazy & bashing libtards on various topics, although they are always quick to praise Trump & manage to avoid mentioning anything negative about him. Sometimes they lure a libtard into their roundtable & have a great time interupting & screaming insults at the liberal, while pretending to be horrified at anything the liberal says, that they disagree with. It's great fun!
Cosmic! I know, you would like it a lot, if you can afford Sirius Satellite radio.

Dominican Republic isn't shitholey. It's almost like it has more to do with culture than race. Nothing Trump said implied anything about race. That's all on you.

No Jody, you are twisting your own words around, it was YOU who said that the Democrats support countries and people that support Sharia Law
I have now asked you 4 times to "prove" this, to show your credible sources
You Jody said this on November 17th, I can provide a screen shot if you would like?
Prove it Jody, prove Democrats support countries and people who support Sharia law

NJ goes down to sweet home in Alabama?
People who attended the meeting swear that she did not call Haiti a shithole.

And maybe do some reading on the different history of the 2 places.
Indeed, Haiti's first revolutionary act was to exterminate all the white men, women, and children creating an ethnostate. Most of their leaders built monuments to paranoia and blamed all their problems on white phantoms, but I'm sure Haiti could be a beacon of western modernity while practicing voodoo and speaking kreyol.

It took the Church thousands of years to rid Europe of most of it's superstitious mumbo jumbo, but it's at the end of that long road we find ourselves at. Haiti fully embraces it, and in some respects is headed in the opposite direction. Furthermore, pointing this out doesn't come from some entitled sense of superiority. A sober and realistic appraisal can only help everyone involved.

Sounds like it served the motherf*#king slavers right.
Including the children?
Why don't you look up some White Genocide of indigenous peoples or the mistreatment of slaves and get back to me.
Two wrongs make a right?
I'm not pretending that the oppressive conditions prior to the revolution didn't lead to the extermination of all whites in Haiti, but neither did their extermination lead to anything good.
Cal me crazy, but I'm against genocide in general and don't think one form of it washes the other.

Jody - What is the quote from Obama about Syria, that you say is pretty much what Trump said about the "shithole countries."

Look bro, after your people get through a few hundred years of slavery then you can take the high road and turn the other cheek, k?
Man, I guess the Arabs REALLY have it coming according to you!
Until then, it was what goes around comes around and the particularly brutal slavery of Haiti is fundamentally the difference between it and the Dominican Republic.
Nah, the difference is Haiti embraces a culture of fail and blames all their problems on others.
Consider what it would take for the USA to solve its own shithole problem. What's going to work, self-reflection or finger pointing?

That has to be a difficult question. I mean the Irish are more oppressed, but then again they ARE whiter...

Was it ignored? I thought it was used as the golden opportunity to take sides, drop some bombs, and try to justify the existence of NATO in a post-Soviet world.

FFS!
Time was & probably still is you couldn't get a job on BBC without some mostly unspellable & completely unpronounceable bogtrotter name & the accent to go with it.
The other thing is just tribal.
