Ilhan Omar: It Is Not Enough to Condemn Trump’s Racism

[IM2]

Rep Omar’s comments were not unamerican. Freedom of speech is as American as one can get. If we cannot support the right to speech we do not like, than the first amendment becomes nullified.

I think saying all Dirty Jews must die is kinda Anti American.
It's more like Pro Nazi Germany though....

Google is banning the word "Christian" in some of their searches.

What are you going to do about that?

I don't thinks she ever said that, just like you have never called those whites here unamerican who hold anti jewish views.

Simple. Use my freedom of speech to denounce what that person said. Anyone who makes vitriolic comments needs to be called out on them. It should not matter if it’s President Trump or Rep Omar. Neither is immune from being excoriated nor should they be.

Only she doesn't get called out on it. Her Party and The House under Nancy Pelosi's leadership encourages and Sanctions Antisemitism.

Ilhan Omar: It Is Not Enough to Condemn Trump’s Racism
By Ilhan Omar
July 25, 2019

Throughout history, demagogues have used state power to target minority communities and political enemies, often culminating in state violence. Today, we face that threat in our own country, where the president of the United States is using the influence of our highest office to mount racist attacks on communities across the land. In recent weeks, he has lashed out unprompted against four freshman Democrats in the House of Representatives: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and me, from Minnesota.

Last week, as President Trump watched the crowd at one of his rallies chant “Send her back,” aimed at me and my family, I was reminded of times when such fearmongering was allowed to flourish. I also couldn’t help but remember the horrors of civil war in Somalia that my family and I escaped, the America we expected to find and the one we actually experienced.

The president’s rally will be a defining moment in American history. It reminds us of the grave stakes of the coming presidential election: that this fight is not merely about policy ideas; it is a fight for the soul of our nation. The ideals at the heart of our founding — equal protection under the law, pluralism, religious liberty — are under attack, and it is up to all of us to defend them.

Having survived civil war in my home country as a child, I cherish these values. In Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, I saw grade-school children as young as me holding assault rifles in the streets. I spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya, where there was no formal schooling or even running water. But my family and I persevered, fortified by our deep solidarity with one another, the compassion of others and the hope of a better life in the United States.

The America we arrived in was different from the one my grandfather had hoped to find. The land of opportunity he imagined was in fact full of challenges. People identified me in ways that were foreign to me: immigrant, black. I learned that these identities carried stigmas, and I experienced prejudice as a visibly Muslim woman.

But the beauty of this country is not that our democracy is perfect. It’s that embedded in our Constitution and democratic institutions are the tools to make it better. It was in the diverse community of Minneapolis — the very community that welcomed me home with open arms after Mr. Trump’s attacks against me last week — where I learned the true value of democracy. I started attending political caucuses with my grandfather, who cherished democracy as only someone who has experienced its absence could. I soon recognized that the only way to ensure that everyone in my community had a voice was by participating in the democratic process.

Google will shut you down, and if you use You Tube to denounce them, they will de-monitze you and shut you down too. Then try to go to Twitter or Facebook. Same thing.

That’s a ongoing problem in politics. Neither side tends to call out their own when they should or if they do it’s not harsh enough for the opposition party. In my opinion

There is no doubt Trump is a blowhard and a liar. However, saying go back to your home country is not racist. That’s like saying any criticism of people of color is racist.

I consider IQ2 a racist. Am I a racist for stating such an opinion, merely because he is black?

But you can't post anything from me that is racist. What Trump said to her is racist. Period.

Educate me then. What am I supposed to say to a person "of color" disparaging my country and I think they may be happier somewhere else?

Keep in mind, I have told people in my own family (blood related) to leave. So why should I treat people "of color" differently?

It sounds to me as if maybe only one or two people on this thread even read the OP. Say her name and it's like flipping a switch--all the angry, stereotypical rants come forth over and over.
This was an attempt to explain herself. I doubt if anyone who needs to hear it will listen.

She and the other three reps are going to have a similar problem as the President. Any statements they make will be held to a higher standard and over scrutinized. Detractors on both sides are waiting for any caustic comment to pounce on.

Most are not going to listen because a prepared statement to make yourself look better does not cover up the other dozen statements she has made that is deplorable.

So she is able to release a few paragraphs that are coherent and not hateful. Trump has managed the same thing. Does he get a pass from you?

There is a reason that Omar has a 9% approval rating and it is not because of rabid republicans. Even hard core democrats and the democratic base cant stand Omar.

I agree with you on that point, and I disagree with IM2 on Trump's tweet being racist.

But, Trump has said AND done racist things in the past. He got a media pass because he was donating heavily to the media's party, the Democrats, but he said and did racist things, regardless.
