So, I guess to all of those people on here angry about this - would you argue that this IS going to be a country of white people? Or is the problem that she lumped white people in with "xenophobics" and "the few."

If it's the first, are you saying that America is a country of white people and that it should stay that way?

NO, you are incorrect.

We are tired of white being equated with evil. We know what she means.

Uh, yeah, that's why the preamble to the constitution reads "We the people," not "We the white people."

Covered this a long arse time ago, dummy.

No. See my previous post.

Stupidly framed counterargument.

I'm not sure what I was incorrect about, as I only asked questions. Maybe I was asking the wrong questions.

Do you think there's a possibility that she wasn't really speaking to you? That she was speaking to people who think that America is of and for white people?

The problem is that her premise is shite.

Xenophobia is not a problem in this country, save for idiots like her convincing the stupid masses that it is.

People who base their political ideology on race, gender, and other innate biological characteristics are mentally weak. Every citizen in this country already has the exact same rights, regardless of race, gender or religion.

That’s the problem. She’s whipping ignorant minorities into a lather over a problem that does not exist.

Is it too hard to accept that this is a country for all people, given they are legal citizens? Why in the frick is race so important to some people?

The number of people who think this way is so minuscule that they are statistically irrelevant. constantly giving them attention only brings out that .00001% of the population, which is exactly what someone as low IQ as Omar doesn’t understand

Early voting is interesting when it comes to finding out these type of things after the fact. 

Why you vote for Bao if you dont mind? 

Im hearing some shady things going on up that way. The mayor apparently has 3-4 councilmen that are shady, and why they want to add bacchus. Even trying to get one guy removed to try to put her in.


The short answer is Abbott's endorsement. I get that it's supposed to be a nonpartisan deal but I like Abbott a lot. And Bao's comments on keeping Plano suburban and limiting any new multiunit housing really spoke to me. I moved here for those reasons.

There's a PAC passing out some fliers opposing Bao. I didn't read it too closely (this was after I'd already voted at any rate) but it's stirring some people up. Now this thing with Omar too. There's a thread in Nextdoor with like 70 something replies about it. It's pretty funny. Some of the candidates in other races got in on the action

While I understand your sentiment, nothing pisses off the left like being married, stable, happy, and with kids- all while being white.

Sack up, hoss. The future belongs to those who show up.

{This is not going to be a country of the black people!}

That shite sounds like something a Democrat would say just after the slaves were freed. Or something a Democrat would say during the jim crow era.

Although I support her overall political standings, this statement was stupid, pointed, ill-advised and definitely used to enflame folks. She knows better and its just sad because she kicks herself in the arse far too many times. She's gonna have to learn to be more savvy and not say false dumb shite like this.

You’re allowed to be angry in this country, just the same as we’re allowed to think your little clique is the absolute bottom of the barrel. Just the same as we are allowed to be disgusted by your ideaology.

It cuts both ways, but I wouldnt expect Omar or Tlaib to understand that. They are untouchable afterall.

They are tolerant. If you are actually in wtf mode maybe you should figure out who the people are that encourage mass migration.

You can try to spin it all you want but we know what she means. Politics has a way of causing people to abandon intellectual honesty and you are giving us a fine example of that here.

Ok, FedBear. But if we're doing mind-reading, then don't complain when people say "I know what you really mean" when you (or "your side") talk about Muslims or Confederate statues or immigrants or whatever. It's a double-edged sword when we try to construe every act we don't agree with as an act of evil.

Oh, I get your point and pretty much agree but the thing is the left wing has been doing this to conservatives for decades now so I'm thinking good for the goose good for the gander.

It's a game they started and I reject any objections they have for me playing it.
