This article is a mess. It tries to say there’s no excuse for chanting about deporting an American citizen while spending several paragraphs excusing it because of Omar’s policy views.Chanting “send her back†isn’t an attack on Omar’s race or even an attack on immigrants. It’s an expression of anger about an immigration policy that pays no mind to whether applicants actually appreciate the country that’s welcoming them. Uh, okay. Well, regardless, chanting send her back about a minority lawmaker who is an American citizens is going to sound like an attack on immigrants. There isn’t additional context that somehow makes that okay (as the final paragraph of this piece says itself).
Oh blah blah. I guarantee if a white British immigrant was elected to Congress and was expressing the same opinion that Omar is, the Trump crowds would be chanting send her back s well________________
We have sent traitors back before. Naturalized citizens have actually lost their citizenship and been deported. But Trump never talked about sending anyone anywhere. He told her to go back, fix things in the corrupt land of her birth, and then come back to show us how it is done. Stop spreading falsehood________________
That’s correct, that is what he said.Then, last night, the nationalist mob attending his rally changed it to send her back — taking what was already an inexcusable sentiment on Trump’s part and making it worse.As the campaign season progresses, you can bet your bottom dollar that the chant will quickly morph to send
ANYONE who comes to our nation and, from gives off the vibe of thinking we’re worse than where they came from, yeah, I’m good with them going back home.And that has ZERO to do with color. ZERO. And the disrespect this woman has shown to the president of her adopted country, using the f-word, I’m good with her going back.If a Norwegian came to our country and was acting like this woman is acting, I’d be for sending them back, too. In a nutshell, if we’re so bad, then go back home.
The United States is her home. A country founded, among others, on the principle that the freedom to say what you believe, no matter how wrong, no matter how disagreeable, is the cornerstone of a free society and a fundamental human right worth spilling blood over.I will never understand how otherwise smart people are able to so easily cast aside the fundamental liberties that make America
Of course I liked the article. It said what I think. I am not sure of the things that make it a terrible article, DD. But it shared my view. Just as articles that share a corroborating view by anyone is viewed.But basically it does express my views.BTW That is a college town, my Grandson graduated with honors there a couple years ago, I wonder (honestly) if the views in that area are pro Trump, because he sure is. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
He is not the only person of European descent in the church whose default setting is to see a racist motive on the part of whites when situations of friction arise between whites and blacks________________
Send her back was wrong.For whatever reason, we deemed 50,000 Somalis worthy of becoming citizens – and they all settled near each other – giving them a majority and the ability to elect one of their own.Coming from poverty and war torn areas – living in a refugee camp – and being brought out and getting assistance to get an education here in the U.S. – you would think a person like that would be saying how great it is to be an American. But no.I would have been totally happy with them changing UN-GRATE-FUL. In fact, at my next Trump rally – I believe I will start that chant myself. ________________

LOL at your defense of the Trump mob. They would shout ‘send her back’ about an American citizen of any color!!
