US congresswoman states America should be "more fearful of white men"

splashuum

In a bizarre statement Ilhan Omar claims Americans should be more fearful of white men. These comment are totally incorrect seeming as the homicide rate committed by black men is soaring. Its frightening to see people gobble up her garbage.
I firmly believe she could play a major factor in getting Trump re-elected due to her radical views.

It's almost as if she's campaigning for Trump's re-election, or for whatever alternative the Republicans run if he doesn't make it that far.

mad muffin

If that’s not inciting hatred I don’t know what is.

Phoebas

That quote is from a year ago so you'd have to wonder what prompted it to resurface now.

The context of it was the threat to Americans from terrorism, so she was probably factually correct.

How many of the mass shootings such as in schools, churches, concets were carried out by black people?

It's racism plain and simple and should be treated with as much contempt as we're it any other race being tarred.

Yeah it is. You can't argue that islamaphobia is wrong by tarnishing another group

Are mass shootings the only thing that makes up murder statistics now?

Everyone knows that mass shootings and serial killings are predominantly white crimes but they still don't come anywhere close to the amount of murders carried out by minorities in the States.

The majority of shootings in the states are carried out by black people. The death toll of church related attacks worldwide are also committed by black people. I’m only aware of one concert* attack, that of which was not carried out by a white male.

You are using the same arguement. No one group should be tarnished or blamed.

He was just responding to a question

I found the culprit

I think some of you should lay off Twitter. Also what this with constant desire to feel prosecuted. I don't think image of man who suffers quietly and stoically was healthy but this new version of whingers are pretty disappointing.

Just more of the same from this racist witch.

It's not a phobia if a large section of them want you dead.

A large section of the 1.8 billion? Really hope you have the figures to back that up?

The context is fear of terrorism in the USA. She’s entirely right that the main threat comes not from Islamist groups, but white suprematist groups.

She doesn't seem to get the majority of the voting population is white.

I am not saying she is wrong or right. But I am saying that was a really awkward stumbling interview by someone who really has no clue what her brief is and is really not sharing a party platform that is even if the Dems even have one at this stage.

Of course she is helping Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if the right help place her there.

Dufflecoat Fanny

It's like she's trying to get shot and martyred

Just more crap from the nut job squad

Keep it coming, makes 2020 a sure thing for Trump!

The interview is a year old. She was successfully elected to a Congress after the interview. She’s demonstrably in touch with her electorate. She’s a member of the Progressive Caucus, which represents one strand of the Democratic platform. Do you really believe that either Democrat or Republican Party platforms are anywhere near ubiquitous across their membership? Keep in mind that Trump essentially ditched the entire Republican platform for an off-the-cuff populism that’s got precious little to do with the party mainstream.

mad muffin

People like Kamala Harris are the real threat to America. Politicians that will spin anything for votes.

Say whatever you like about trump. At least he is doing something for his citizens.

Technical they should fear heart disease, which will kill 1 in 6 Americans.

Most people are retracting their criticism of Omar after seeing the full unedited clip of the interview.

Unfortunately, much of modern discourse simply consists of outrage peddling with this thread being a prime example.

I agree with her 100%.

Honestly the level of discourse on this forum (which I didn't know existed before recently) makes me fear for the level of education in Ireland and worry about humanity in general.

Agreed. Certain posters would just type the same drivel over and over again looking for thanks and outrage. Now they're just dumping links from dodgy far right news outlets in the US.

Looking forward to the OP's next thread on a US congresswoman/women
