What has Ilhan Omar actually done for Somalis?

[babooshke]

Because it seems like we give her this platform and she starts trying to help out everyone but us

[Mr.Haggis]

Kuun shillings per person.

 

[Ras]

Dragged our name throughout national media.

Say thank you Ilhan.

 

[jamal9]

she participates in gay parades. her ex-husband was gay and somali. so there you go, she has done something for at least 1 somali.

 

[IPushFatKids]

What exactly do you want her to do?

Cast a spell and exterminate Al-Shabab?

She is a congresswomen elected to represented her districts, whom presumably are mostly white. She wasn't elected Mayor of Mogadishu.

 

[Tukraq]

what are you talking about she's just a congresswoman, did you think she was a president or something with executive orders?

 

[Sol]

What kind of questions is this? You sound like an AA who wants reparations because "one of our own" made it but then found out that's not the case. In fact, what do you want her to do?

I don’t think Ilhan was elected by just Somalis, she was elected by her district which is majority white. She represents her constituents and their interest. However she fights every day by speaking out against injustices both here and abroad

[kickz]

She provides representation for Somalis on a national level, that alone is enough.

 

[Gambar]

She is a congresswoman for her district, unless you live there she does not represent you.

 

[Abdalla]

What has she done for her district then? Getting into the foreign affairs committee was dumb
