Hip-hop artist Talib Kweli Greene told his 1 million followers yesterday that President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall won’t work because look what happened to Nazi Germany’s Berlin Wall:
So, you’re unaware of the fact that nazi Germany had a wall called the Berlin Wall that was torn down in 1991 in order to foster humanity and diversity? Walls didn’t work for Nazis so why build them here? Build bridges not walls Nazi lover. @thefeltyperro @jabbawa78 https://t.co/h3djzlRi4j

Now ask him about Pearl Harbor:
"Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now!" https://t.co/QkxmeC9sOV

Or the Great Wall of China:
China built many walls which together formed the Great Wall of China, to keep out northern invaders. Simple but effective method of self-protection. Good job, Mr Trump. https://t.co/iGJJAqR2SK
