I think
@Kaafiye dislikes her for the same reason some white people do. She is literally the embodiment of the "American dream". She came as a refugee and made something of herself.
White people do not turn racist/right wing cause of a random congresswoman they always harbored those feelings, she would just be an excuse for them to openly be racist. It's like people that say "I don't want to vote Trump but the democrats are making me [FILL IN THE BLANKS]."
A whole lot of people vote for Trump not because they like him, but because they hate his opponent. Trump was the first President to get elected while having most Americans
dislike him strongly. Many people voted for him because they disliked socialism, or because they were anti-abortion, or its because they didn’t want to war with Syria, or because they thought he’d build a Wall in front of Mexico. Most people vote for him DESPITE the fact that they dislike him and find him repulsive.
And if you think that we criticize Ilhan because she’s a successful politician, then why don’t we use that same vitriol towards Ahmed Hussen? He’s a Canadian CABINET MINISTER who actually has real political power. This man came from nothing and made something of himself, so why am I not criticizing him?
And Ilhan Omar was part of that group that helped suppress a Somali male politician in Minneapolis because of his anti-gay views. So don’t give me your crap about Somalinimo when Ilhan would throw you under the bus to please her White liberal masters.
Stop with the BS. You look foolish here.
