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.

Oh I’ve taken a few, hence I know you’re still misunderstanding the term.

Ouch. It appears monthly at this stage we have white home grown Americans with legal assault rifles murdering people in family settings at scale.

This week in another plot twist... A white young disaffected male uses a legally purchased AK-47 to gun down two children a young man and a woman at a garlic themed food festival. You know an area full of families just out to enjoy a normal day. Despite the fact the festival has had to fence itself off and deploy Xray machines. And despite the fact the officers intercepted the killer within 60 seconds of him starting he still managed to murder 4 people and injure a further 20.

Seems like your opening post is a mockery of the reality of living and working in the US . A place where you have to be afraid to send your kids to school. You have to be afraid to fill up with gas and you have to be afraid to go on a family day out to a festival or a concert.

Beautiful .... Just beautiful

Yes it was tragic, but some of your post needs to be corrected for clarity. Best not to make a bad situation worse with untruths.

The gun used was not an AK-47, but an SKS.

It was not an assault rifle.. those that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire. It was a semi-automatic – one fire for one trigger pull. It was the same rifle a Bernie Sanders supporter used to try and kill GOP House members playing softball.

And no, the US is not a place where you have to be afraid to send our kids to school, fill up with gas, or be afraid to go on a family day out. Yes, this type of sad event can happen in a free society, but we are not consumed by that fact. I’d say most of us are much more afraid going into some of our worst urban areas.

And it is beautiful, there is no other country I'd rather live and raise my family.

True, but I take the stats from Sep 11 2001.

And if we extrapolate to the wider world, some 60 people were murdered by the far right last year - compared to about 18,000 by Islamists.

It definitely seems to be a way of life in America

https://www.insider.com/mass-shootings-in-the-us-weekend-of-july-26-28-2019-7#a-25-year-old-man-was-taken-into-custody-after-an-airman-was-killed-and-three-others-were-injured-in-a-shooting-in-wichita-kansas-early-saturday-morning-6

"We're 210 days into 2019 and there have already been 246 mass shootings," she said in the statement, adding: "This reality is horrifying. It's heartbreaking. And the fact that our nation's leaders continue to fail to protect us should fuel outrage in every American. This must stop — we must stop this."

I don’t want to take away from the tragedy of the Gilroy garlic festival. But after there was massive media coverage and a trending hashtag of “Pray for Gilroy,” “Gilroy Strong” and “Gun Control Now.”

The weekend in Chicago there were 9 killed and 39 wounded mostly African American. In Baltimore 13 shot and 6 killed since last Friday.

There was no national coverage or a hashtag. For them. Some are saying that it’s possibly because the Gilroy killing were mostly white and the gunman white.

So a American business magazine is considered to have a right wing slant? Perhaps, but would that mean anti-business entities are left wing? Viva la socialism, eh?

Forbes didn’t generate the map. Derp.

Shocking really. Can only imagine if the roles where reversed and someone like Trump said this about black people. People like Anderson Cooper would be having a stroke live on air as the virtue signaling went into overdrive.

Why is racism against white people in open season. Surely all racism is disgusting and to be purged from our society.

No, it’s not from Forbes, it’s from Open The Books, and the source data is not accessible, so there isn’t a readily discernible way to verify all of these incidents don’t include animal feces, for instance.

Though since were playing the biased sources game I should point out Forbes has a right wing bent.

Although it reminds me of that guy from the League who told everyone he was in one of the towers when it happened and continued the lie for years.

remember that the same people that believe his bs about this are the ones who wanted Hillary jailed for saying she came in under sniper fire.

CNN can’t prove a negative either.

So you have no evidence he did.

Yep. Kinda like how he manages to show up at a disproportionately large number of charity events relative to the amount he’s ever managed to donate.
