President Trump did deny saying it. And at least two people present (Tom Cotton and David Perdue) said that he didn't say it. I would also ask how is such a comment racist? Do explain. Is everything racist now? I'm not justifying anything. It was blunt to the point of being abrasive, and it was offensive, but was it racist? I think not. And no one is hanging out with white supremacists. I don't know where you get that diatribe from. IP: Logged |

I'm very slow to get on the PC train and I value freedom of speech more than saying the right thing of the proper thing. However, the president of the US should show a little decorum and restraint. If people say he said it and he doesn't deny it, accept it, it's true, even if you dont' want it to be the truth.If you list some countries that are all countries that are black countries and say they're shitholes then list a white country and say its good that's racist. Sorry. Not everything is racist but that is. IP: Logged |

A country can be a bad country for many reasons, and a country can be a good country for many reasons, and race is irrelevant. But people are already refuting that it was said. Just because something is distasteful or we don't like it, it doesn't make it racist.IP: Logged |

I do see that he is now denying having said that. It took him a long time to say that, for a man with quick Twitter fingers. So I will step back since there is no material proof and we have to go by he said vs he said. IP: Logged |

I think countries are more complex than simply "bad" and "good."IP: Logged |

Hmm, I actually agree with this. IP: Logged |
