All of what you said actually happened during the 2016 election and dude still became the President and the stupid shit has steadily gotten worse.

I didn’t even need to watch it... His body language says everything I need to know.

I am stunned that a white supremacist in black face was invited to an event discussing black issues. Seriously?!? Her very appearance on that stage makes her a winner, gives her credibility. So yes, we need to find out who invited her because anything else is besides the point. Whoever extended that invitation is not…

It never will because “we need to hear both sides” will continue to be spouted by the worst of us.

She was invited for racial click-bating that they wanted and that’s exactly what they got.

Why the fuck was she invited? Who the fuck asked her to show up? What the fuck is that person’s problem? How is that person in charge of booking an invent that has to do with black perspectives? When is that motherfucker gonna get fired?

I … I don’t understand...
- dude makes anti-Semitic jokes
- dude gets shit for it, rightfully
- dude says he’s going to donate to ADL as a way to take responsibility
- some idiots on the internet don’t like this
- he decides not to donate to them, as a way to... take responsibility??

I feel like I’m missing a piece of logic…

Its really not surprising.

That’s exactly what Bin Laden’s goal was. He wanted us to be destabilized and weakened, and rationalized that he could turn us against each other this way. And he was right. Shit just kept rolling down hill.

I worked at an air force base when 9/11 happened, and I was just a civilian so after a couple hours of sitting around in the break room waiting to find out what’s gonna happen, we got sent off as the base shut down for a few days, and I did indeed get paid to get high and play video games until they dropped Defcon…

He turned a memorial service into a political spectacle and insulted the other victims and their families by doing so. and some of them are speaking up about it

Your whole comment is fire but “mourning theater” is the mic drop here. That’s exactly what it is, performative and shallow. It’s like a contest so see who can Never-Forget the hardest.

You read/hear the whole quote, and you can tell it’s of someone for whom English is a second language. When you actually see/hear the entire quote, there is nothing wrong with it.

What Omar said was that not all Muslims were behind 9/11. The attacks she’s getting as a result are people trying to say, “We want to be able to be racist against all Muslims and 9/11 is our excuse.”

Unfortunately, that’s a usual thing. Far too many white people in this country question and demand proof of Black people’s loyalty to this country; that is when they’re not demanding gratitude.

Keep typing those replies, greys! I love dismissing paragraphs of unread nonsense!

America is and always has been a racist country. On a day we remember the victims and heroes of that grim day, Twitter eggs and people who actually should know better are coming at Rep. Omar, a proud American, as if her loyalty to her country is something she must prove at every turn.

There's a particular vocabulary of outrage that most politicians speak surrounding 9/11. Omar chose not to speak it on one occasion, and disingenuous people took it as an opening to attack her. That's all this is.

The real way to remember the victims of 9/11 is for the “True Patriots” to skip memorials while others attend to hold a secret vote.

Way to exploit the death of a loved one just to “own” someone on a false pretense. Pathetic carrion.
