    Great analysis, Tom. "Another teachable moment" lol What's sad to me is not whether or not the President said what's alleged, but the fact that it is believable that he WOULD say something like that.

    • @recolian
      @recolian 6 лет назад

      the thing that surprised me is that he denied using those words. At least we can agree that he isn't proud of saying it, else he wouldn't have denied saying it. He's proved to be smarter than his supporters in this issue.

    Basically if you think Trump is racist, you’ll take his comments to be racist. If you don’t think he’s racist, you’ll think, while the comments are rude, in reality the counties, like Haiti, are not good places to live.

      Haitian Music all day I have not, I can’t speak for him. One doesn’t have to travel somewhere to see if it’s a nice place to live. The Haitian people seem very nice as a whole, and I’m sure there are many great aspects of there culture that are respectable. But concerning there economy and living conditions on average, it’s not a big leap to say that it’s not the best place to live.

    MR.Richey i gotta say, as a teenager, i am honestly impressed at your teaching method, usually i go to history channels ONLY to study for a test or school work but i cant help but watch your videos lol and I added you on Snapchat 😂 you explain things in a way that isn't boring like most historians.

    I'm a fellow educator on RUclips. I appreciate your videos and appreciated this one as well. I like that you introduced a current event.
    I do however think we want to be careful with saying something like "it's all subjective". It happening or not happening is not subjective but rather objective. We then subjectively decide which evidence we find most convincing.

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  6 лет назад +5

      +Miguel Benitez Jr. Thanks for bringing your channel to my attention! Your videos are on topics that interest me. I just subscribed and will take a look at your work. We should consider tackling a project together (video or podcast) sometime.
      As far as subjectivity, what I meant was that we can never know what objectively happened because all of the sources are behaving in a way that is advantageous to them. I think we agree that it was either said or it was not.

    • @MiguelBenitezJr
      @MiguelBenitezJr 6 лет назад

      Tom Richey Thanks! My channel is young and still small, but I'm going at it full force.
      I'd love to chat sometime about video or podcast. I think you produce great content and you're one of my go to channels when I'm thinking through particular periods of history.

    • @MiguelBenitezJr
      @MiguelBenitezJr 6 лет назад

      Tom Richey I should also point out I think I generally agree with your point in applying it to historiography. There's a sense in which I appreciate much of what John Lukacs and others have written about this. I don't, however, subscribe to a postmodernist historiography.

    • @HDtothe8
      @HDtothe8 6 лет назад +1

      Miguel Benitez Jr. It was very idiotic statement you made. Especially because you are a professor. In the universe everything is objective but it's still subjective to us until we find the truth. For instance, existence of aliens is objective but since we do not have a definitive proof it's subjective to us. Same applies in every single situation. So in this situation we do not have a definite proof so obviously it's subjective to us! I wouldn't subscribe to you, professor tom is just too polite to tell off!

  • @matsigh
    @matsigh 6 лет назад +6

    This video turned out to be a lot more objective than I expected. I should never have misunderestimated you Tom. On a more serious note, I liked the video. It seems like there's a 50/50 chance of him saying it. If Trump said something that was "basically" the same as shithole, then the two Trump allies aren't wrong. That seems like the most likely option. No matter the exact wording used, I'd appreciate if the president had more respect for other countries. There's a weird similarity between this and the Logan Paul incident. A regular person showing a dead body on the internet is bad and disrespectful but because of Logan Paul's audience, both it's size and demographics, the incident was much worse. If a regular person called these nations "shithole countries", it may be disrespectful but it isn't entirely wrong. Because of Trump's audience (the entire world) and his influence it is much worse that he said this about other countries. He is being incredibly disrespectful and the leaders of other countries will remember this.

    • @tomrichey
      @tomrichey  6 лет назад +1

      +David Herron Glad you enjoyed the video. Once I started looking into the ins and outs of this, I thought all the groundwork was there to make a video about current issues that would not alienate a significant portion of my audience. I made some Trump videos during the campaign and they did pretty well, but there was one I made during the transition that, while 75% of the reactions were positive and the video got more views than my average video gets right off, I think alienating 25% is an unacceptable number. My channel is more about teaching than courting controversy.

  • @hazedood
    @hazedood 6 лет назад

    Great vid! Nice, balanced approach to analyzing political/historical "hearsay" - as well as a teachable moment that history, in and of itself is NOT an exact science... nor is history about, necessarily bring debates to conclusions as it is about shedding as much light as possible on all sides of the debate.
    We just started the new semester at my (block) school - and we'll be doing DBQ training shortly. This will be used.

It'd be another fantastic video for a current POV discussion.

    One thing you can expect from Trump, shocking or not is what he truly feels. You decide what he actually said but realize that he is the president, he holds the highest power of office in America. And he was the voter's choice. Live with it.

  • @Salamanderson

    I may not agree with or like Trump, but I don't like this "guilty until proven innocent" mentality. When the news first came out, I was told that he said it on live TV in front of millions, not that it was in a private meeting. People are more willing to flame someone they disagree with than tell the truth. I think Trump may have said something like shithole, but I am willing to bet that Durbin twisted and misconstrued the exact words. I appreciate this video because it is truly an unbiased take on something. I also appreciate it as an APUSH student learning about effective analysis. Keep the creamy memes comin'.

Calling Trump a liar while you go around believing in the anti-Trump reports and Late Night comedians and their politics. How about you take your own advice.

    Let's be honest, even before the earthquake Haiti was a disaster: Kidnapping capital of the world, poverty rivaling nearly any 3rd world country you can think of.. apart from using politically correct language, what else would you call a country like that? It's not necessarily a reflection on Haitians in general ; I know many Haitian immigrants in my local area and honestly, they're some of the most honest, hard working people I know. But if we're being honest, Trump's description of their country at present is accurate.

    • @SuperHipsterGamer
      @SuperHipsterGamer 6 лет назад +13

      Why has any semblance of politeness just become political correctness? Why do I have to be rude to be anti-pc?
      I want my leader to represent the best of my country, and I'm astonished in how manners and politeness has become something to brigade against. Because putting thought into how and what you say is now the same as censoring?
      I feel absolutely betrayed by the right, when they start to lionize all the bad values I saw in the left.
      And that's just partly the problem. What on earth does America gain from this controversy? Diplomacy has never been about "telling it like it is", it has been about helping national interests through non-violent means. Part of that is to smarten up your language and act with tact and grace.

    • @Tastypieinyourmouth
      @Tastypieinyourmouth 6 лет назад +5

      The problem is that the whole attention is on the word shithole, when the rest of Trump's statement is much more problematic. Calling a country shithole is very disrespectful, but not racist per se. You might just be referring to the shithole conditions instead of the people after all. BUT: Saying that the US should take more people from Norway than from shithole countries makes the statement racist without a shred of doubt, as it now implies that the people from shithole countries are inferior or 2nd class.

    • @isaacj6212
      @isaacj6212 6 лет назад +2

      Tastypie why is it doubtlessly racist to prefer people from a country with less homicide and kidnapping statistics than another? He may be wrong in his assessment and I'm not saying I agree that's the way we should determine who we allow to immigrate , but I don't think it guarantees he's a racist.

    • @Tastypieinyourmouth
      @Tastypieinyourmouth 6 лет назад +1

      +Isaac J Because it implies that because said country has a higher homicide rate, higher kidnapping rate etc., the people coming from there are also more likely to commit crimes when in fact, the 2 are completely unrelated. Vetting and good immigration policy should guarantee that. But instead of saying "no matter where you come from, if you fullfill our tests and requirements, you may enter", he says "I'd rather have you come from Norway than from Kenya". I'd at least say that if his remark wasn't racist, it was 100% discriminatory. Just as it would be discriminatory if Norway said "Why are we having all these people from shithole USA come here (because of our high homicide rate)? I'd rather have people from Singapore and Japan".

    I think it was geinual on the part of President Trump. Trump said to come up with a solution so he could sign. Mr. Dicky had to open his mouth to the media therefore spoiled the deal. What if Dicky would have kept his mouth shut and they would have come up with a solution for Trump to sign?

  • @EarthOne2050
    @EarthOne2050 6 лет назад +2

    I think you are a bit shallow in your analysis.
    That Durbin says what he does is not surprising. If you look at the Republicans it is only Perdue that directly denies that is was said. Cotton claims he did not hear those words, he does not deny them.
    Which would be the right if they weren't spoken. Even if he doesn't agree with Trump he would defend the GOP.
    The fourth one refuses to comment.
    Graham says that "Basically it is true" Which enhances Durbin's claim.
    So one is claiming Durbin´s claim is false.
    One is not actively denying it which would be easy if it was not true.
    One is supporting Durbin´s claim.
    This gives:
    More support Durbin´s claim that is openly against it.
    Also taking into account that the comment is in line with previous comments that Trump has done supports Durbin´s claim.
    By only looking at the senators and not the bigger picture gives your analysis a very narrow perspective

      I know Lindsay Graham is a rabid member of the "Never Trump" GOP so he beats around the bush instead of saying Trump never said it. But even if Trump said this it was a private meeting not a public speech and meant to offend people's sensitives. Sadly Durbin saw some thing he and his party could use to call Trump "racist" and as usual the media loves it.

    Whether Trump did or didn't say it, it wouldn't surprise me if he did. While I would not use that word it clearly expresses what most people think about many countries. Who wants to emigrate to Somalia? Nigeria? South Africa? North Korea? El Salvador? Right. Nobody except a very few of those who came from there and want to go home to be with their family. Pretending that these are desirable countries is even worse than using crude language as it is a complete lie.
