Illhan Omar Claims American Power Based On Racism, And Our History ‘Built On The Oppression Of Black Bodies’

Rep. Ilhan Omar is once again in the hot seat after making some rather critical remarks of America and using those comments to further divide American citizens along racial lines. This has become a pretty typical behavioral pattern for Omar who has become well known for espousing anti-Semitic points of view.

Omar recently said that the United States should accept that the country’s power came from racism and that the history of the nation is “built on the oppression of black bodies.”

Here’s more from The Washington Examiner:

“From slavery to Jim Crow to redlining to mass incarceration to voter suppression, racism is part of the foundation of American power,” the Minnesota Democrat said Thursday during a panel discussion on Capitol Hill.

“Our task as organizers is not only to all out the specific incidences of racism,” she added. “It is to recognize that our history is built on the oppression of black bodies.”

“In a racist society, it is not enough to be nonracist,” Omar said. “We must be anti-racist.”

You know, the only people who seem to be making race relations bad in this country are folks on the left like Omar who just continue to dig up the past and attempt to bring it into the foreground of what’s happening now.

Yes, America had slavery. It was not only awful and despicable, but a huge blight on our nation’s history. However, we ended all that pain and suffering. We’ve made massive progress toward treating all people as equal under the law and providing equality of opportunity for all individuals.

Now the words of these folks are tearing all that progress down. And for what? To feel good about themselves? To feel part of some cause or movement? To be relevant to the message being taught to children in government funded public schools?

Here’s to hoping America can heal from the damage done by folks like Omar.

You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.

For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.

This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.

Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.

The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.

There could be more trouble coming, as well.

In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.

One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.

The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.

“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”

There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
