That's a different kind of s***hole. 99.9% Muslim, you know. Therefore a haven for terrorists.

Norway does not mean 'blond and blue eyed' to me. To me it means hardy and self reliant, a safe place to live, etc.

It’s one thing to take issue with illegal immigration. It’s another thing to attack people actually permitted to come to the U.S. for no reason at all.

I wonder how many of those who voted "no" on the poll have ever been to,researched, or really know anything at all about the countries that were spoken about, my guess is very few. Or, was their vote just based on emotion,heard mentality or just plain hate for Trump.

I couldn't vote because there's no choice for "I really don't give a damn about such small ball issues that mean nothing in the long run".


And before the usual suspects jump on this statement yes, with some variation you could wonder the same about yes votes but it means little given the obvious tone/point of the poll...

White people have historically done a lot of Sh$t to other people all around the globe. Whether it was intentional via slavery, colonialization, mass displacement, genocide, or involuntarily, via virulent disease and obliteration of ethnic histories. Whites when aided by technology (mainly guns and navigational techniques), have committed many heinous atrocities against people of color.

Most of these atrocities were committed under their misguided notion that their religion, their culture, and their skin color entitled them to a certain God-given "Manifest Destiny"....

For some unknown reason they saw themselves as having a superior right of dominion over other human beings due to group self adoration driven by ego, greed, and ignorance.

Pretty much what we still observe today...

Building walls and denigrating countries of colored immigrants would indicate the same type of mentality...

And that was decades upon decades ago.
And when Blacks took charge of their nations what happened ?
Did they turn them into prosperous countries ?

'herd' mentality, not 'heard'. And yes I did the research and posted it in a couple of forums. Immigrants from sub saharan Africa have an overall higher education level than native born US citizens.

"Sub-Saharan immigrants tend to have much higher educational attainment compared to the overall foreign- and native-born populations. In 2013, 38 percent of Sub-Saharan immigrants (ages 25 and over) had a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 28 percent of the total U.S. foreign-born population and 30 percent of the native-born population.

Sub-Saharan immigrants participated in the labor force at a higher rate than the overall immigrant and native-born populations. In 2013, about 76 percent of sub-Saharan African immigrants (ages 16 and over) were in the civilian labor force, compared to 67 percent and 63 percent of the overall foreign-born and native-born populations, respectively. "

Thanks for the spell check, need more coffee...
Now, are the countries you looked at dictatorships or fiefdoms? Do they support civil liberties, treat all as equals or do their best to do so? At the most basic level, are they somewhere an average person from a developed country would want to live in or, are they a place where those same people would run as fast as they can to escape from. From what I've seen/read it's the latter.
