Trump Ban affecting Mo Ahmad (Canadian 4th at Olympics in 5000m)

Oh no, poor CANADIAN Mo can't keep using the American system to his benefit!

Good thing Canada has his back and the same resources! Oh wait, they don't!

It's not the end of the world Mo can't suck off the American system to his benefit. No one is forcing you to stay here, Mo.

Also, do us a favor and don't complain about our system if you want to keep using it to your full benefit.

Maybe I should write a similar story. I was thinking about this the other day. When you are a minority, it's easy to assume every bad thing that happens to you is only the reason of racism. Bad shit happens to bastions of white privilege as well. Basically every single thing that Mo talks about has happened to me.

1) Robert Johnson used to be on the no fly list. Flying was a royal pain the butt until I got my special TSA #.

2) I too have been pulled from a car at the US - Canadian border. However, except mine was worse. He was pulled by two people. I was pulled and then quickly surrounded by 6-8 officers with their hands ready to pull on their trigggers. The guy who pulled me was saying out loud "Alpha Delta, Alpha Delta." In case you don't work in law enforcement, Alpha delta is code for Armed and Dangerous.

There was a Robert E Johnson with my exact birthdate who was wanted. Why when they had a passport saying I was Robert C Johnson triggered it is beyond me.

Can someone tell me how the ban impacts Ahmed? It doesn't from what I can tell.

I doubt any country has killed more people in other countries over the last several decades than USA. Perhaps all other countries should ban all USAns from entry.

USA not only sent multiple members of known terrorist organizations to the Rio Olympics, one of them won silver at 5K. Millions dead in Muslim countries due to US wars makes the doping scandals really minor in comparison.

As a bearded longhair who drives beater cars, I've been "profiled" my entire life. Yet I have never been arrested or even ticketed. Why? Because I don't do crimes and don't regard cops as my personal enemy. My minority amigos agree that their paranoia of cops/whites is their own worst enemy. The media only makes this worse.

Why has Kenya been associated with terrorism and Muslim???

Muslims love to play the victim. Always crying about "islamophobia".

You won't hear Mo when one of his fellow Muslims/Somali's commits yet another horrible attack.
