Rep. Ilhan Omar Makes Sure ‘White’ Suspect’s Race is Front and Center
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing backlash after her racially divisive tweet following the horrendous Boulder, Colorado shooting massacre. Posted within 24 hours after the man now identified as Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa killed 10 people, Omar had this to say:
“The shooter’s race or ethnicity seems front and center when they aren’t white. Otherwise, it’s just a mentally ill young man having a bad day. Narratives drive our responses to awful crimes committed against innocent people, pay attention to these responses and who is targeted” Omar posted to her Twitter account.
Before discussing her tweet further, let’s not forget that Omar is the very person that undermined the terrorist attacks committed on September 11, 2001 when she passed it off as “some people did something.” She went even further as to say the Council on Islamic Relations (CAIR) was founded because after “some people did something,” Omar and others determined “that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.”
So, while Omar cries discrimination, it is she who is perpetuating the racial rhetoric. Omar brought up the race of the Atlanta mass shooting suspect Robert Aaron Long, who is white. In her tweet, the Congresswoman wrote it isn’t “hard to understand why it’s so normalized for law enforcement to protect the humanity of white mass murderers and their willingness to continually make excuses for them.”
Washington Free Beacon executive editor Brent Scher rebuked Omar for her tweet, saying the Boulder “shooter’s race and ethnicity was front and center yesterday when we didn’t even know what it was and just assumed it was white.” It couldn’t be more obvious that it is Ilhan Omar who gets to determine whether or not one’s “race” should be mentioned.
If the criminal is white, that fact must be mentioned and everyone else must be chastised for protecting “the humanity of white mass murderers.” If the criminal is not white, however, they shall be referred to as “some people” who “did something” and then an organization must be founded to protect their civil liberties.

Not everyone in Minnesota thinks DC needs someone representing the values and hatred of Somalia. The only thing she likes about the USA is that it’s possible to be anti-American and still win an election.

Right, Ilhan. The entire twitterverse was on fire with all the leftists saying ‘it’s ALWAYS a white guy’. Gotta hurt that it’s a Syrian Muslim extremist, huh?
Using a tool leftists have never tried (research with an unbiased source),from 2002-2018, white mass shooters were 54% of the total. Whites are 62% of the population. Shooters correspond to racial/ethnic populations.
WE can always tell when a criminal’s race is not given. It’s definitely NOT a white guy.

The people of Minnesota should be ashamed of themselves for voting a racist representative such as Ilhan Omar into this position! She is a racist and she is a disgrace!

Also, CAIR was founded in 1994, seven years before “some people did somthing”. Things like truth seem unknown to her.
