"I wish they didn't let you in the country": Woman Harasses Muslim Woman and Her Friend at Store
23 replies, posted
[quote]WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A woman appears to tell a fellow shopper, "I wish they didn't let you in the country," in a video that is being shared online across multiple platforms.
According to the social media accounts of comedian Jeremy McLellan, his female friend, who he says is Muslim, was in a Trader Joe's in Reston, Virginia on Saturday. In a Facebook post, McLellan says his friend let the woman cut in line ahead of her.
McLellan then says in the post the woman began to "talk bad" about another Muslim woman who was in the store and wearing a niqab (a type of head covering).
McLellan says the woman then asked his friend why she was not wearing something similar. McLellan then says the woman started talking about female genital mutilation.
This led to his friend recording the video below, McLellan says.[/quote]

[quote]McLellan said in his post that his friend wishes to remain anonymous at this time.
In the video, McLellan's friend says she should not have let the woman in front of her.
"I wish they didn't let you in the country," the woman then says.
McLellan's friend then says that she was born in the United States.
"Oh, you were?" the woman responds.
"Obama's not in office anymore," the woman says after a brief pause. "You don't have a Muslim in there anymore."
McLellan's friend then says she wished Obama were still president.
"He's gone. He's gone," the woman continued. "He may be in jail, too, in the future."
McLellan's friend can then be heard saying the woman looked "a little crazy" and suggested the woman might need to get some help.
The woman told McLellan's friend that she was fine.
"No, you're not," McLellan's friend says. "Because you don't just strike up a conversation with people in line talking about stuff like that if you're normal."
The woman says that she is normal, then later asks, "What set you off? Obama?"
McLellan says he wants the video to spread.
Yashar Ali, a writer for New York Magazine and The Daily Beast also shared the video on his Twitter page[/quote]

:ok:
Great, more ignorant crap from ignorant people.
Speak of "that darn muslim obama" I had a patient's husband reading to her aloud from one of the many Trump propaganda books (while also boasting about how it should be read by everyone and put into schools' curriculum). He was on a specific part being about Islam and stating that the literal translation of the word is "submission" as in "making other religions submit to you and bringing Sharia Law to the states, [B]like how Obama wanted to do[/B]" :why:
Incidentally, Islam does mean "submission" as in "submission of worldly desires in favor of god", you know, like [I]most[/I] religions teach?
is racism in common public settings like this really news at this point? stuff like this happens all the time.
America was a mistake.
A country built by immigrants whose descendants are afraid of immigrants.
Christ, what an asshole.

Yeah that's usually how it works out.

Even better - A country founded by immigrants [I]fleeing religious persecution[/I], whose descendants are afraid of immigrants [I]of the wrong skin color or religion[/I].
The real crime here is the fact that guy let his friend cut in line in front of him. The woman is batshit crazy, but the guy has no morals.
Or maybe that's just the Brit in me. If there are people queuing up behind me, I'd feel like a huge scumbag letting my friend cut in.
I wonder if she stores her groceries in her head because of how empty it is

"his friend let the woman cut"
[QUOTE=Levelog;52208885]"his friend let the woman cut"[/QUOTE]
Oh shit, I completely misread that. I thought the comedian dude let her friend skip in front and that's what set the argument off. The woman's a straight up bitch. She has the audacity to accept the gracious offer of being let in front in the line, then badmouths the person who was kind enough to let her skip the queue.
Go fuck yourself, woman.

Well I mean, its not like the immigrants that built the nation were very charitable to the previous inhabitants :v:

That's actually not true at all. There was no religious persecution (of that group) at the time. It's just a tall tale told to people to make the pilgrims seem more sympathetic, many of them were actually puritans who wished to create a land where they could persecute others for not following the puritan beliefs.
And being afraid of brown people is a long held American tradition. Look at what they did to the natives.

This was hundred of years ago, though; people should have grown emotionally and intellectually by now, but the woman in the video proves that some still haven't grown.

The "fleeing persecution" thing comes from William Penn, a Quaker who was persecuted by the Anglican establishment in England and who came to an agreement with the King to give a charter to the Quakers to found a new colony in America where they wouldn't be a problem for the British establishment anymore. He then founded Pennsylvania
The Puritans and Pilgrims alike were dissatisfied with English society and what they thought of as corruptions in the Anglican church. The Puritans wanted to escape all that and have their colony serve as a model for people back in England to demonstrate how good Christians [I]really[/I] ought to live.
The pilgrims had similar grievances but they were sick of it all and decided to move to America because they were separatists, and wanted to leave England and the Church altogether.

I mean they do have a basis for being scared of immigrants
They did exterminate the locals when they immigrated

These are the kinds of people who are ruining our country today. Don't ever forget that.
"What set you off, Obama?"
Yeah that. Definitely not the part before where you said "I wish they didn't let you in the country" or anything.

You're not the authority on what is or isn't newsworthy, and commenting just to say it isn't newsworthy literally adds nothing to the conversation, and you're only helping to lift the thread by posting about it.
