I find it absolutely hilarious that Illhan Omar revised her financials from $30M to $90,000.
It’s so Somali.
“Oh no they noticed I’m committing fraud. Quick, delete everything! Tell them I’m completely broke. They’ll never find out now.”
Comically stupid.
I want to take a minute and pause. Zoom out with me. Let’s look at the big picture here.
We are a society that has, for better or for worse, decided blackface/whiteface and racial caricature in general goes against our values.
We are also a society that is making an exception for that rule, so long as we’re making fun of and attacking the widow of a man who was brutally murdered in cold blood.
Taking these two datapoints into account, we are a society that deserves some plagues or even an asteroid at this point.
I can assure you with my whole chest, that if this were a White person doing blackface to smear the widow of an assassinated Democrat, my reaction would be no different.
Participating in this is a one way path to Hell. Go along with it at your own risk, but don’t come crying to me about “social order” or the “division” in this country ever again.
CNN translated:
1. White man = Black man
2. Terror attack against Mamdani = ISIS attack, definitely not against Mamdani
3. Woman = Man
4. Intense debate prep = Napping by the pool
This is CNN.
