Ilhan Omar: ‘This Is Not Going to Be the Country of White People’

Well then we will highlight her viewpoints.

 

You certainly will.

 

isn't the few ruling over the many undemocratic...

 

We aren't supposed to point this out.

 

It's interesting that you'd think a minority that makes up roughly 13% of the population would be claiming this is a "Black" country. Whereas, there are definitely those among white people(who account for roughly 75% of this country) who contend that this is indeed a country for whites.

 

I wonder if she realizes white people are also immigrants...

And immigrants are also white people...

Or does she just mean the colored immigrants?

 

In the same way Trump pushes ISIS and MS-13?

 

Are you saying Jihadists and one of the worst gangs on the planet need motivation to do what they do?

 

Omar has taken over from AOC as the number 1 target for dimwits to take what they say and twist it into something.

Funny how some of us "white people" take offense to things...

and some of us white people aren't pea brains.

 

Yes how dare people quote her and speak about what she says that islamaphobia!!!!

 

Are you saying white supremacists need motivation?

 

Huh?

 

The use of MS-13 as an example doesn't even make sense, and as for ISIS, well if Trump were speaking as he does as a Western immigrant in the Middle East you'd then have a point.

 

Every time Trump says or does something perceived as negative about anyone right here in America and around the world, he is "pushing" them.

 

Thats what they believe. They are black supremacists.

 

Your sidestepping of the actual topic with whataboutism is essentially concession. So, do you care to comment on Omar's jihad or no?

 

Seems like its just the one side that wants children, illegals, and terrorists to vote.

And its not Republicans.

 

As a “white person” — in quotes apparently — I absolutely take offense at this. “We are not going to be a country of black people”, do you think that would go over well? What about “We are not going to be a party of Native Americans”, still an issue? Why is it suddenly ok because you swap the ethnicity out.

I am fairly liberal in several areas but **** like this makes me unable to vote for Democrats. She should be called out for the racist she is and removed from office. If you are not in politics to represent all Americans you should be there at all.

 

I'm commenting on the idea that criticizing people means you are responsible.

It's absurd to hold her responsible, unless you also want to hold Trump and his base responsible for any sort of terrorist.

As far as what Omar said, I agree with her. She was standing up to the idea that this is a "white" country. It's not. Never has been.

 

Right.

She is speaking out against the idea that this is a "white" country. She is speaking out against racism.

How come you all don't get that?

Oh wait, I know why.

 

Huh?

It seems like one side wants this country to go back to a time of segregation.

And it's not the Democrats.

 

Dems STILL advocate segregation. For example on colleges.

Joe Biden supported segregation.

 

Fake news.

If that were the case, how come white nationalists, white supremacists, and all the other paranoid white people aren't Dems or Biden fans?

How come Trumpers defend Steve King? Etc, etc, etc............

Sorry, big load of fake news.

 

As I said from the beginning, it'd be one thing if she'd specified white supremacist, but she didn't. This is the same woman who spouts off about the dangers of "white nationalism" (while being silent about "some other people doing some things"), then turns around and says things that most definitely will trigger white supremacist. Is she low iq and emotional, or does she know what's she's doing?

 

I never understood how people could be so dismissive of blaltant casual racism as long as the persons skin color is correct.

You seriously don’t see how he could interpret the statement “this is not going to be a country of white people” as he interpreted?
