I'll apologize now because to talk about this topic I need to use language I normally wouldn't
in this video, and isn't that an interesting sentence.
Because of the ignorant man this country elected, I now have to preface talking about the United
States' president and his statements with a warning about obscene language.
Recently we heard that in a meeting with senators from both political parties in the United
States, Trump called Haiti and African countries shitholes and wanted to have more immigrants
from Norway.
Seeing as he doesn't want more Latinos in the United States either, I'm pretty sure
he also sees Latin American countries as shitholes.
It's pretty clear this man is completely ignorant when it comes to all people of color and their
countries.
The meeting in which Trump called Haiti and African countries shitholes was supposed to
be focused on helping the young people brought by their parents as children without documents
into the United States and who had protection under DACA and are now exposed to being deported
because Trump's administration ended DACA.
The topic of immigration is something I will always talk about on my channel.
Suffice it to say that, once analyzed properly, the objections to these immigrants have more
to do with economic discrimination, not wanting them here because their families are poor,
and racial discrimination, not wanting them here because they aren't white Anglos, more
than anything else.
Immigrating to this country when you are poor and from a country outside of Europe is exponentially
more difficult than immigrating from Europe when you have a certain amount of wealth,
which is why people who are poor enter the United States without documents and then often
proceed to work intensely difficult jobs where the employer isn't taking the necessary workplace
safety precautions employers normally would have to and for which these immigrants often
receive low wages, because employers get away with abusing undocumented workers.
The topic of immigration is important to me and I will always talk about it on my channel.
But for this video I wanted to talk a bit about Trump calling certain places shitholes.
I've talked again and again about this man.
Right now, I don't want to give him the majority of my attention.
I've already spoken about him so clearly this video is in part about him, but I want this
video to mostly be about the people he insulted.
The countries he called shitholes.
About the children both in those countries and children of immigrants from those countries.
People might get tired of hearing this in my videos, but it is something I experienced
growing up.
My family is Colombian and I was born and grew up in the United States, so I'm Colombian-American,
and I am extremely proud of my Colombian heritage.
I'm proud of the United States as well, but since no one has called the United States
a shithole while people have talked badly about Colombia in my presence, I'm more used
to defending Colombia from ignorant people who decide to talk despite lacking knowledge.
Growing up, I never heard anyone call Colombia a shithole, but I had any number of people
insult Colombia and basically act as if Colombia was just a jungle full of subhuman violent
people and drug traffickers.
Now, I'm not African-American.
I'm Latina, and everyone in Latin America whether they admit it or not has roots not
just in Spain but in the Americas and in Africa, practically all of us Latinos and Latinas
have ancestors from each of these places, but I have light skin and so while I might
get ignorant comments about Colombia I don't encounter anti-black racism, and anti-black
racism is much more problematic because it tends to involve not just insulting comments
but powerful violence against these groups.
So I won't presume to talk about something so powerful and painful and that I have never
experienced, except to say that for Trump to call places where people of color live
shitholes is to invite violence toward people of color and show an unimaginable lack of
responsibility, at least unimaginable if he were anybody else.
But like I said, I do have the experience of people telling me the place my family is
from, the place where many people in my family still live, is a horrible place.
Like I said, I haven't heard it be called a shithole specifically, but to be honest
with a man like Trump as president, it's only a matter of time until he decides to make
a comment like that.
When I was a child, I didn't know how to respond to people who talked badly about Colombia.
I wanted to defend Colombia because I knew, I knew from talking with my parents and I
knew from talking with my family both here and in Colombia, that Colombia was not what
people in the United States called it.
But because I was a child, I didn't have the arguments to defend Colombia the way I wanted
to.
Which is why I wanted to make this video for children in Haiti and in African countries,
as well as children of immigrants from Haiti and from African countries.
And I wanted to make this message for them.
Your country, the countries where your families come from, are not shitholes.
You know this and you don't need me to tell you to know it, but I'm saying it because
I have a youtube channel and I can say it publicly and everyone needs to say it publicly
after what Trump did.
Trump is an ignorant man who speaks without knowledge.
That man and his words don't deserve attention.
If I can give advice from personal experience, spend your time instead learning about where
your family is from.
From personal experience, I can guarantee that you may feel frustrated.
You will learn about people in your own countries who were corrupt and institutions that have
not been responsible to the people they serve.
And you may feel angry when you learn that even in the absence of corruption, other countries
have stolen from your countries.
If I learned this and it is true for Colombia, it is doubly true for African countries where
even your very people were taken in chains to build other countries.
You may be angry when you think of all the people from the United States and Europe who
talk about your countries as failures, despite the fact that your countries have struggled
so hard to build themselves up after people from the United States and Europe stole as
much as they could take from your countries, killed so many of your people, and in their
greed left your countries in a dysfunctional state which your countries are struggling
so much to correct.
And that is a struggle to be proud of.
When you learn about your countries, you'll see that what people say is false.
You will see that your countries are powerful because your countries know what is to struggle.
There will be people who say your countries are primitive and foolish.
You will learn that you are the heirs to traditions of knowledge too great for the ignorant ones
to ever understand.
You will learn that your countries are finding ways to use current technology in new and
innovative ways to help the most poor.
There will be people who say your countries are weak and underdeveloped.
You will find a culture rich in arts and sciences which has endured despite endless attacks
by richer countries to take everything from you.
You will learn that even though there are corrupt people, there are many, many more
people working every day to fix the corruption and inequality.
These were the things I learned about Colombia when I stopped paying attention to the insults
against the country my family is from and started studying the country.
The same things are true about your countries.
Our countries are not shitholes.
Our countries are full of beauty, strength, culture, and knowledge, and an ignorant man
like Trump will never know the greatness of our countries.
Because he is so ignorant, he creates a shithole of his own life.
And he must live in the shithole he creates for himself.
We will live proud of greatness of our countries.
