Last month, ilhan omar (D-MN) went on a “fact-finding” (political BS-creating is more like it) trip to Ghana. While there, she saw what is left of the “slave camps” that had been created to hold Black captives before being shipped to the United States and other destinations.
And what did omar have to say about them? Well, here, via Justin Caruso’s article for dailycaller.com, is a sampling of her comments, last week, at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s “Annual Legislative Conference.”
“Every time [the tour guide] gave a description, I had this sort of flashback to an image that I saw on TV in Libya where you had Africans in a small room that were now captives, and that image was from today.
“And every time he would talk about the separation of the kids and from their parents and how they would have young girls be in the same dungeons as the women or they would have young boys be in the same dungeons as the men, I couldn’t stop seeing images of the current camps we have here our borders in the United States.
“And so of a story that happened 400 years ago–I constantly had this reminder, this horrifying image, of many of the things that were taking place there in that dungeon now taking place, whether it is in in the shores of North Africa or in the shores of the United States.”
That’s your comparison? To slave camps?
Tell us, ilhan: when you thought about this, did you think of:
-The fact that those slaves-in-transit were captured and taken to that location against their will, while the people in our detention centers came their willingly and can leave to go home any time they want?
-The fact that their captors were not White people from the United States, but Black hunters who exacted a bounty for the men and women they kidnapped to service the slave industry? That the (Black) Ashanti tribes were most prominently involved in slave capture/trading?
-The fact that Black hunters were selling captured slaves to Arab Muslims? That Arab Muslims were trading African slaves for hundreds and hundreds of years before the United States even existed?
-The fact that those separations of families you now decry did not start with Donald Trump, they took place when Barack Obama was President of the United States – and neither you nor your complicit media had a problem with it then?
Nah, I guess not. Hey, no big dea. Some people did something, that’s all.
See, it only became important when you, and your political pals, counting on the ignorance of the general public about these facts, could make a domestic issue of it.
By the way, how’s life with the married guy you dumped your husband to shack up with; the guy you paid all that campaign fund money to?
Do you ever see your children? Or did you dump them too?
