Ghanaian community in Chicago condemn President Trump alleged “s***hole" comment The Ghanaian community in Chicago has condemned comments allegedly to have been made by President Donald Trump questioning why the United States should accept immigrants from “s***hole countries,” referring to Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries in a White House meeting last Thursday. Leaders around the world including Ghana's President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo expressed outrage about these comments and chastised the President of the USA for such racially dividing and xenophobic comments. A statement issued by its President, Paa Kwasi Sam and copied to GBCONLINE, said: “As the Mouthpiece for Ghanaians in the Chicago Metropolitan area, Ghana National Council (GNC), I cannot keep quiet regarding the hurtful and discriminatory comments made by President Donald Trump against Africa, Haiti, and others. It is never okay to denigrate others because of their race, gender, geographic location, or economic status.” The statement said: “at a time when nations need each other to tackle problems like terrorism, hunger, human trafficking etc. confronting humanity; we believe pronouncements like what President Trump said are counter-productive and racially insensitive!” Mr. Kwesi Sam is therefore urging Ghanaians, Africans, and Caribbeans, to lift their heads high and be proud of where they come from, and continue to pray that God bless the United States, Africa, Haiti, and all other nations. However, Donald Trump in a tweet has denied ever making any derogatory statement about Haiti.

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!

Below is the full statement: Ghana National Council President reacts to recent comments by Donald Trump! The President of the Ghanaian community of Chicago, comprising over 100 thousand Ghanaian immigrants and their children added his voice to the outcry. As the Mouthpiece for Ghanaians in the Chicago Metropolitan area, Ghana National Council (GNC), I cannot keep quiet regarding the hurtful and discriminatory comments made by President Donald Trump against Africa, Haiti, and others. It is never okay to denigrate others because of their race, gender, geographic location, or economic status. At a time when nations need each other to tackle problems like terrorism, hunger, human trafficking etc. confronting humanity; we believe pronouncements like what President Trump said are counterproductive and racially insensitive! Personally, I was shocked and feel that nobody should ever voice such derogatory comments with the intention of demeaning nations full of good, hardworking, and loving people. Especially, when some migrants from these countries have contributed tremendously in the fields of, law, Healthcare, teaching, NASA, the United States Military, and many others. Being an African (Ghanaian) living in America, we migrated here to ensure that our children and loved ones have an equal opportunity to a bright future and contribute to society just like other migrants from other parts of the world envisioned. The United States is a melting pot of nationalities and its success comes from the arduous work of many immigrants. As we stand tall with other leaders from around the world and peacefully speak out against this shameful act, I urge my fellow Ghanaians, Africans, and Caribbeans, to lift our heads high and be proud of where we come from. We will continue to pray that God himself will bless the United States, Africa, Haiti, and all other nations. Long Live the USA Long Live Ghana Long Live Africa Long Live Haiti Long Live the United Nations. Paa Kwasi Sam President, GNC, Chicago. GBCONLINE ---DECRYPTED---
