Tlaib: ‘People hear you differently’ when you’re a woman of color and a ‘first’ in Congress
By Aris Folley - 02/12/19 08:39 AM EST

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) said in a tweet on Tuesday that the "hardest part of serving in Congress" as a woman of color and one of the first Muslim women to serve is that "people hear you differently."

"No matter how much we take on the hate & stay true to who we are through our experiences, our voices are shushed and reduced," she wrote. "We aren't perfect, but neither is the institution.”

    The hardest part of serving in Congress as a WOC & as a "first" is how people hear you differently. No matter how much we take on the hate & stay true to who we are through our experiences, our voices are shushed and reduced. We aren't perfect, but neither is this institution.

I'm not knocking them as individuals, two Muslim women, two radicals, that really shows you how this thought-system is ingrained in these people... as of now. I'm willing to give anyone a chance.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

You're supporting people who inflict mutilation and death upon other people whom You accuse of committing an EMOTION, called Hate.

And then you expect others to cede You the moral high ground.

And that's why I want you (and all muslims) OUTTA here!

When in walked a man with a knife in his hand
And he was looking for you know who...
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
