This is in reference to the president’s obscene language.
A consideration of the entire statement reveals two concerns. One is the use of such a vulgar term; the greater concern is, in fact, the racial animus.
As the leader of the free world, America’s chief diplomat, and one who is indeed held to a higher standard, the disgusting potty-mouth verbiage is wholly inappropriate, uncalled for and worthy of severe public censure.
However, it’s the surrounding and larger statement that reveals the racist animus! Remove the obscenity and you have a statement that says, “Why do we have to let people from Africa and Haiti into America? Why not Norwegians?”
This displays a clear preference for one people over another, simply based on skin color. Neither statement is worthy of our commander in chief.
No amount of dancing, two-stepping, “twitterpating” or doubletalk will lead to any conclusion other than simple racism.
