Famous rock and blues musician and artist, Eric Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Clapton is best known for songs like “Layla,” “I Shot the Sherrif,” and “Wonderful Tonight,” the guitarist has also made some pretty dumb comments in his time.
“Stop Britain from becoming a black colony […] Get the foreigners out […] I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man.”

Donald Trump is notorious for his unfiltered remarks. Some people find what he has to say brave and inspiring, like a hot knife through a loaf of bullsh*t. Others find his comments and opinions extremely dehumanizing and insulting, sprinkled with stupidity. This isn’t even the worst thing he’s ever said, but it’s pretty bad:
“I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
You really think this guy would be a good representation of America?

I know what you’re thinking: one of the most respected, caring, and peaceful men of all time, what could Gandhi possibly have done wrong?
When imprisoned in South Africa, Gandhi shared a cell with black prisoners and later said, “Many of the native prisoners are only one degree removed from the animal and often created rows and fought amongst themselves.”
