Reminder: America is a country made up of people from SHITHOLE countries
 
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come over. Duh?

The promise of America, since before its founding as a country, is precisely that you can start over here. Even within the country, the ability to strike out for the territory and begin again motivated many of our most mythic figures, from Natty Bumppo to Sam Houston to Huck Finn to Pa Ingalls in the Little House books. I apologize for dragging my family history into every goddamn post I write these days, but their experience speaks directly to the current nativist moment. When my grandparents left Ireland and Italy in the early 20th century, they were leaving shithole countries if such things have ever existed. They weren't starving because they worked on farms and in fishing towns, but they had no future and not much of a present in those places. Like millions of others, they left farms in the old country and packed themselves like sardines into cities in the new. That was 100 years ago and, as every yahoo on Twitter has seen fit to tell me in the past 24 hours, Things were different back then! No welfare state! Those countries were part of the "West," which is best!

You can't claim the moral high ground here if your country shits in the streets.

I think this answers your concerns: Indian Americans: America's Shithole Success Story - Hit & Run : Reason.com

As for group 'identity' politics from both left and right, this woman is spot on:

What a lot of bullshit. Britain, Germany, France, Italy, etc. Were far from shithole countries. The only shit hole countries were the ones you took slaves from in chains and threw overboard if you couldn't feed them.

What an idiot, most people in the US are descended from europeans (aka not a shithole).

GAMEFINEST 01-17-2018 01:47 PM

Indeed it is

Not totally. British (Spaniards and others) came to explore new world, not because they were from shithole countries.

I've seen this in Southern California - in fact, also up here in Sacramento. To the right of this trail in the video is a canal similar to where they raced Greased Lightening in movie Grease. Homeless people congregate in these areas because it's a public space and no one will kick them out (unlike a private business) and it's close to a stream of water which they use for washing, bathing, and a bathroom.

We have a similar problem along the California River here in Sacramento. Fifty mile long bike path, but you have to deal with the homeless in some areas closer to Sacramento.
