POTUS Says Quiet Part Calling Out Somalias

[ProfD]

 

POTUS OJ calls Somalis 'garbage', disparages their home country and says the people who've made it to the US stole billions of dollars and do nothing but 'b*tch' and complain. He even called Rep. Ilhan Omar garbage too.

 

Of course, the current administration is threatening to send ICE to Minneapolis to round up Somalis.

 

I'm curious to see if the Somalis speak up in defense of themselves and/or will go back to fix up their home country.

My question is, how did a murderous violent  attack committed by an AFGHAN national from California who drove to Washington D.C. turn into a rant and tirade against the entire SOMALI community in Minnesota???

How did one lead to the other?

Rant against Somalis stems from them stealing government funds by funneling through charities.

It’s sad to see anyone speaking like this in public has become normalized. The leader of the free world talks like ignorant trailer park trash.

 

I guess he’s speaking to his base.

POTUS OJ does not seem to have a filter.  He says what other people are thinking.  That's why it goes unchecked.  Silence is acceptance.

Well, it is sad people think like that too.  I know someone I have to deal with who seemingly expresses whatever she is thinking -- without a filter. It is not possible to reconcile what she says with her actions, so I'd rather not hear anything her stray thoughts.  

 

Same with Trump.  He said "Ilhan Omar is garbage." What does that even mean? That communicates nothing other than he is a very crass man with an apparently limited vocabulary.

The difference is that he happens to have the biggest platform and is considered a leader of the free world. 

 

So, whatever limited vocabulary and insults come out of POTUS OJ's pie-hole, gets broadcast not only to his base but also around the world. 

 

Millions of budding racists, white supremacists, misogynists, etc., get to hear the crap being uttered by POTUS OJ.  Powerful ignorant messages being sent.

It's not so much that he's saying what's on "people's" minds....he's saying what's on RACISTS' minds!

I don't like how so many Black people on the internet and especially on social media are cheering his vile and racist attacks.

To see so many Black Americans side with an open and avowed racist against other Africans/Black people is disturbing.
Not so much that they didn't have it coming to them.
 

I'm not in love with Somalis myself because much of my interactions with them on line was them being VERY racist and anti-Black American in general but they also tend to be very anti OTHER African as well and consider themselves superior.  One of the reasons there are so many Somalis in places like Minnesota, Oregon, and Maine is because these are some of the places with the LEAST amount of Black Americans, who many Somalis try to avoid when coming here...lol.

However there are 2 major problems with his rhetoric:

1. If he's talking like this about Haitians and Somalis...calling THEM "garbage" and saying that he doesn't want the in the country, how long will it be before he starts saying that about Black Americans?
Will there be people all over social media hand clapping and cheering THAT on to?
Will I see other AfroAmericans staring at the screen with their eyes wide open and shining "agreeing" with Trump and clapping their hands and saying "right on" or that he's "telling it like it is" by disparaging AfroAmericans as a community.....as if they aren't part of that same community?
Where does this stop?

2. He's just talking.  But don't think he's words aren't firing up the racists on the ground level ready to take action and do something.
He long before we start hearing reports about attacks from private citizens on the groups he's targeting?

That goes for this so called "New Black Media" who seem to be cheering him on in his attack against Somalis and other Black immigrants.
This is one of the reasons I can't trust them.

Because if you'll side with Trump over THEM Black folks....how do I know you won't side with Trump over YOUR OWN Black folks?
If he decides to go hard on Black Americans and try to remove THEM from the country, how do I know YOU won't sit up there with a bowl of popcorn grinning and talking shit about US...even though you're one of us...and cheer him on?
