Good for you re: where you would or wouldn’t live.
Actually, she said we should all fear white men.

Let her move to a country with very few white men. Then she wont have to fear them anymore.

"Refugees" from countries with regressive cultures and religions. Including the truckloads that have been shipped in to otherwise nice places, only to clash with the locals and cause strife where there wasn't any before (see Minneapolis and Lewiston Maine as examples of this "cultural enrichment" in progress).

By the way, according to CD posters, people from the Middle East/North Africa are white. So regardless, it would still be a white male problem, no?


Yes, white males can subscribe to an ideology based identity. But "white" is not an ideology based identity. It's an immutable characteristic.


"White nationalism" is an identity-based ideology. But, note that Ilhan Omar didn't limit her statements to "white nationalism" but to "white men."

She knew exactly what she was doing. "White male" is a dog whistle for the left. Associate anything with "white men" and it's "problematic" just for existing. Criticize any sentiment in which "white men" are the subject of derision and you are labelled as a racist or someone who "fears the truth."


Muslims often try to conflate their ideology with those that are actually immutable (sex, race, ethnicity, sexuality). I admit that it's a travesty our constitutional protections put "religion" on the same pedestal or protection as the immutable characteristics. Religion should be one step below the other protected classes. It's too easily exploited otherwise by grievance grifters like Ilhan. Religion is nothing but politics with a god complex. And it's way more exploitable than identity groups based on race or sex.

They never move to countries with "less" white people. Countries with majority "white people" are the free-est and most fair to minorities of all kinds on this planet.

Which never seems to register among the "woke left" who view "white people" as a problem. Ilhan's home country is a literal lawless **** hole several centuries behind everyone else and crippled by the religion she proudly subscribes to. And she has the unmitigated gall to criticize the United States (and Israel, and whoever else she can to cast herself as a victim).


Until there is even more than a handful of "countries of color" that are as open, free, and tolerant of minority people, cultures and religions as the "terrible white supremacist racist USA and western Europe".... I'll just roll my eyes with this current leftist fantasy of rampant white nationalism and people of color "living in fear" because of bad white men and white people in general.


The West isn't perfect but it's magnitudes better for social issues than basically anywhere else on the planet.

Talk about context .... there are more annual killings in Chicago ... committed by people of color .... one single city ... than all of the “mass shootings” you mentioned by white people.

Let’s not start counting the numbers in other cities ..... just one reveals the magnitude of this racist hate whitey, phony narrative of lies and distortions.

This America-hating Muslim will be singing a different song when the Feds collar her for fraud. Stay tuned.

We'll deal with our own problem American groups without importing Muslim terrorists who sit and wait as sleepers.
She'll be sorry she ever got elected. Just sayin.

I believe you just proved her point. The bold is a threat and will put you on an FBI watch list. Good luck with that...

The best Congress has done is to issue a few resolutions about speech indirectly directed towards Omar.
They are all scared to do anything further because their own "identity politics" have come back to bite them.

Considering the population vs percentage of whites I would assume that whites would be represented in crime = to their percentage of the population.. 52% means that whites are under represented.

Her point? Her point has been debunked numerous times on this thread alone, and in numerous scholarly attempts to prove the narrative she is advancing.

Meanwhile, back home in Omar's district:


MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.

With by far the largest Somali American population in the United States - estimates of up to 100,000 - the insular ethnic community in Minnesota offers a rich recruiting ground. Investigators told Fox News that early on, al-Shabab recruiting was almost exclusively word-of-mouth. One family connection to a contact in the terrorist group would be pulled in as a recruit, in a process that was repeated as the ranks of the al-Shabab grew.
