Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fake Trump Quotes about Nigerians and Africans

Understanding ideology and the big picture, is way above your comprehension. I fear. You must do a bit of philosophy and you you will discover that "facts" have to be interpreted.

So I repeat.  What does it matter to a KKK white supremacist  sympathizer whether you are from Nigeria or the moon?

This is an elementary point that a high school student should understand.

Having said that,  let me compliment you for

engaging in this intellectually challenging defense of Donald Trump.

Your problem, Professor Emeagwali, is that you have no respect for evidence, for facts; you just make assertions, wild unsupportable assertions, without the slightest evidence--or even when the evidence contradicts you. This has become a pattern.

I have never defended Trump. If anything, I have attacked him. Some of the weekly articles I post here bear me out. See, for instance, this:http://www.farooqkperogi.com/2016/11/making-sense-of-trumps-victory-for.html. Here is the very first paragraph from the article: Several of my Nigerian readers have asked me to help them make sense of Donald Trump’s unsettling electoral triumph over Hillary Clinton. Why would a country that prides itself on being the “greatest country on earth” and the world’s “oldest democracy” elect a vulgar, reactionary buffoon like Trump?"

Dispelling fake quotes about what Trump allegedly said about Nigerians and Africans isn't a defense of Trump. It won't be half bad if you impose on yourself the discipline to not comment and make judgments on issues you haven't fully grasped or know nothing about.
