Africa is one big country to him.

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president.

The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Reminds me of this spoken word poem, Pulse of the Motherland by Dr. Dabinga.

Spotify has the performance.

I used to play it for students on the first day of my African history survey class.

Showing restraint, you left out his adjective.

Trump is a guy who’ll misidentify a 6 foot 5 Black man as a 5 foot 5 Black man because he can’t see past their color
The old “ All of them look alike to me”
Trump can’t perceive Africa as a vast diverse l, and rich continent
To him it’s a “ shithole country” not worthy of recognition or respect

When I taught, I told my students they’d go down a whole grade if they said “country of Africa.” That A-? Now a B-. And so on.

I never had to implement this.

Ass in Chief. MAGATS won't know the difference.
