Just To Correct The Record.... [View all]

What Rep. Ilhan Omar Tweeted (or RT'ed) Was This:



For responding with "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes at the end, she was....

Forced to apologize for saying in a Tweet "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes -- as some equaled "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes at the end, to being Anti-Semantic.

There are thousands of Progressives that don't believe the hype, as in don't believe Rep. Omar saying "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes for a RT is racist in any type or form, especially in light of Donald J. Trump tweeting less than 48 hours ago about a "Trail of Tears" which is a Highly-Racist statement for the Indian-American Community when used in the context he tweeted in.

There are thousands of Progressives that don't believe the hype, as in don't believe Rep. Omar saying "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes within a RT was racist in any form, when a poll showed just TODAY 21% of Democrats who took the poll on Blackface, actually believe wearing Blackface is okay -- which is a Highly-Racist gesture to in the same poll 66% of African-Americans.

There are thousands of Progressives that don't believe the hype, as in don't believe Rep. Omar saying "All About The Benjamins" with an Emoji Song Notes within RT was racist at all, when hundreds of Latinos if not thousands are denied legal entity into the United States and Muslims are denied even visiting the United States by the Thousands - while Donald Trump continue to Tweet Racist Statements about the Latino and Muslim community -- but is never asked or is forced into an apology like Rep. Omar.

We are seeing what's in front of us and it's real, not imagined. #FoodForThought
