Is Ilhan Omar setting Somali Americans up without knowing?

[wonyluvr]

I pray she gets the boot by Trump.

Why would you say this lol

Black Hawk Down happened 1993 and it was wiped from people's memory since 9/11. So I disagree most people dont care but she is pushing it back into the imagination. Which is dangerous.

I see your point, but these racists would have targeted Somalis regardless of whether she was in office or not.

I love your educated takes!

Abayo I try my best. thanks for noticing

Politicians in general are narcissistic and greed/attention driven, at this point it’s a prerequisite to get the position lol

Ilhan Omar is no different than all the other self serving politicians especially that AOC lady, alas the world is one big paper bag test when it comes to scrutiny and it doesn’t help that she’s Muslim too.

 

[Medeea]

They’re attacking her because of her Somali identity. While I may not agree with her politics, I won’t stand by and watch a Somali person be attacked. We might criticize each other within our community, but we will stand united against outsiders.

Bruh ain’t nobody cares about no Somalis. Americans see the world through skin-based racial lines. Unlike other Germanics who beyond basic tribalism/xenophobia, tend to be indifferent to Afros, a sizable chunk of Americans have a strange obsession with Blackness.
Her being a hijabi doesn’t help either.

Anyway, like many users have said, she has a dark tired personality and has been a net negative for the Democratic Party. Democrats need fewer Ilhans/Kamalas and more people like Mamdani or even sneaky bastards like Vivek.

Mamdani is a lil too socialist for my taste, but he’s wellspoken, comes across well, and so far seems like he will be a net positive for the party.

Not in a rude way she just needs to go.

Yes but I don't think it would have been in mass scale like we are seeing thanks to Ilhan tbh.

Ilhan is awesome, I'm always rooting for her.

She’s a mentally unstable attention seeker

If that is the case why doesn't Ahmed Hussein in Canada get the same treatment? He know he is not a white man. Ilhan drank the kool-aid the left gave her and they put a battery in her back.

Recently she said America is a horrible country. The thing is what she says isn't even bad it just bad coming from her. But the colorblind hippies gassed her up. Obama because he is male never believed this kool-aid. The problem is white leftist love her because in their world the more oppressed you the more currency. Not based on merit but interaectionalty. This isn't black americand fault. Its people on the right. Ilhan for famous for resisting Trump and he loves it. It got men to support her because they hate white female feminism which Ilhan prescribes too. If she focused on Somalis in her constitutions she wouldn't be so famous. But shelves the infamy in the same way Trump does. And let's be serious Ilhan is both beautiful and a mess with her personal life.

Imo she has damaged the Somali brand. And to compare to warlords and gang members is not sound. She isnt bad in terms of illegal behavior but has damaged the Somali brand through associating with far left. Aoc has since distanced herself but she has a shot in politics to go highter. Ilhan doesnt so far she had accepted the disrupted image.

People think Ayan Hirsi is a c00n but if she focused on Somalis she would be better relieved. Ilhan is truly lost in the left and had powr she never thought she would have. And low iq people think criticism is just "hating." I love Somalis doing well. I dont have a xadid heart she had been blessed to have a big voice and presence i just think she had done mkre harm and I blame the leftists who train her and Zohran is another one. They are loved by wealth, yuppie leftists and thats why they answer too. But their actions get blamed on our community. Ilhan has nothing in common with Somali women who would be taken mkre seriously if the West wasnt so vain in wanting Ilhan who checks the right boxes. I will still defend her for being Somali but I resent the leftist politics she was told to promote.

The replies here are pathetic. Blaming Ilhan for Somali hate? I’m not saying she’s perfect but you have people on this site believing right wing smears about her. Not once did she say “America is horrible” This woman is only attacked because she spoke up against Israel. Do you know who brings the Somali name down? These degenerate gang bangers that ruin our name everyday. But yes let’s blame Ilhan for everything.

 

[Sueeeeeee]

she gave more attention to us. Before she was elected we were mostly unknown other than miskeen group of people from Africa.

This isn’t true at all? Are you ok?

 

[Sigmundd]

This isn’t true at all? Are you ok?

Yes this is true. Before she was elected we didn't get millions of racist Americans coming after us. She's the reason why we are ethnic centre of attention in America now. She needs to get the boot. I said what I said.

 

[NordicSomali]

She’s putting a target on people’s back without getting anything particular in return. What’s her achievements?

 

[dhaxabaay]

Yes this is true. Before she was elected we didn't get millions of racist Americans coming after us. She's the reason why we are ethnic centre of attention in America now. She needs to get the boot. I said what I said.

The insults Americans used to Somalis are quotas already established way before ilhan. Obviously the agenda being pushed by right wingers is overwhelming but ilhan is not the scapegoat for that and it’s ridiculous to solely blame her when there’s racist right wing movements in Europe where ilhan isn’t even thought of

 

[Sueeeeeee]

This is the issue with Somalis. She doesn’t work for YOU. Her district is mostly white.

They don't see race but you best believe they see religion. What makes no sense is they hate Muslims now more than Obamas era all it took was MCain yo shut down the islamophobes:
Rip McCain but they liked Obama because he is a great politican and they thought he would bring the races together. Whic imo is to big of a goal to put on anyone. This was closer to 9/11. What strange is America has gotten worse since then. I am not comparing Ilhan to Obama but moreso the political climate.

Obama whose name is 1 letter away from Osama came in close to 9/11. And yet they liked him more. Not to take away from his intelligence and brilliance I think he was chosen one. They srt him uo to not only win but to fix race relations which is absurd. There is no way he alone can fix that and he knew, he wrote about it in his book The Promised Land. The thing is Obama knew through being around White people how they roll. He actually was more susceptible to Black people over whites.

Ilhan drank the white kool-aid in the same Hilary believed women would come to support her. The polls show White women didn't. And as far as Kamala white women want them to get the win ahead of any women especially black women. But privileged women like Hilary should not be the face of feminism. Hilary is a great politician but white women stick by their men in the same way she did with hers. So why blame them? If she wanted them to turn their backs on their own men, she should've set the example. When Trump first ran my boss told me women will vote for him over Hilary. I, too drank the white feminist kool-aid but my boss told me straight up that white women will vote how their men voted and he was so right.

Historically they were always jealous of Black male power. Sexism is worse in America than racism.

She still represent Somalis sadly. Why can't she move quiet rather than be th3 centre of attention and comment on controversial topics? Not even the Plaestinain woman in the cabinet move crazy like Ilhan.
