"Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said, referring to Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Trump and Vance, respectively.
"All these thugs better get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20th," the post concluded. That would be the day Trump and Vance would be sworn into office if they win November's election.
Let's see what we have here:
Negative generalization about an entire nationality.
Repeating the obvious lie about eating pets long after it was debunked
Blaming Haitians for a shitty streaming sevice.
Not knowing how to spell Vodou
Racist stereotypes about Vodou
Not Knowing the distinction between Voodoo and Vodou (presumably)
Hating immigrants because the country they come from is "nasty"
Thinks country is nasty, hates people for seeking sanctuary from it.
Slapstick? What, were the three stooges Haitian?
Thinks all black people are in gangs.
Look at them thinking they're real people, signing fancy paperwork like they can read.
Thinks Trump is President.
Thinks Vance is VP, when even the insane view that Trump won in 2020 would make Pence the VP.
Disapproves of any accountability for Trump (no surprise there)
Thinks all black people are thugs.
Those immigrants need to learn their place.
Telling an entire ethnic group to leave the country before the next administration is in power, which sounds a hell of a lot like an ethnic cleansing threat.
Complete disregard for that whole election thing that's coming up (see 11 & 12)
Thinks deleting a post will make it go away.
Does all this, isn't even the worst situation about Republican politicians posting racist shit online this week.
Failed to stop Michael Myers, James Bond and the Puma Man.
- You can add to that this congressman is from Louisiana and doesn't understand the deep roots of the Haitian culture in New Orleans.
- “Pewma! PEWMA Man!”
- I'd like for him to point at the western hemisphere on a globe.
