So you can't answer a simple yes or no question with a yes or no.

The reason there isn't any outrage about Biden's comment, outside of FOX, is because Biden apologized and expressed regret.

Your tangerine Messiah will never, ever, under any circumstances apologize for his insensitive and knuckleheaded comment about the President of Liberia.

Trump's compliment was not based on racism.

no apology necessary.

US President Donald Trump praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for his strong grasp of the English language on Wednesday. But the African leader was educated in Liberia, where English is the official language.

As he hosted five African leaders at the White House, Trump asked Boakai: “Such good English, it’s beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”

Boakai informed Trump of his place of education, prompting Trump to express his curiosity. “That’s very interesting,” he said, “I have people at this table who can’t speak nearly as well.”



Liberia was founded in 1822 by the American Colonization Society whose goal was to resettle freed slaves in Africa. The country declared independence from the American Colonization Society in 1847, and a variety of languages are spoken in the country today, with English being the official language.

Several Liberians voiced their offense over Trump’s comment to Boakai, given the US president’s past remarks on African countries and the colonial legacy left by the US organization in Liberia.

“I felt insulted because our country is an English-speaking country,” Archie Tamel Harris, a Liberian youth advocate, told CNN.

What a buffoon. He likely would not have likely done that to someone of European dissent.
