Definitely an ignorant take. She forgets that many of those who died on 9/11 were nonwhite-black, Hispanic, Asian, and Other. 9/11 affected a broad range of racial and ethnic groups.

Actually the dumbest part is the notion that al-Qaeda has a problem with "heteropatriarchy."

She doesn't capitalize her name, so that's how you know she's not like other girls.

This is why the far left will always be seen as unpatriotic, antipolice, antimilitary, etc.

Stop.

Keep these thoughts to yourselves....

 A lot of black people felt a similar sentiment to some of the ideas the author is expressing in those tweets. The surveillance state post 9/11 was nothing new to Black America, the threat of terror was nothing new for Black Americans in the south or those brutalized by corrupt police departments across all the country. Things like the TSA style pat-downs and constant threat of suspicion were not new phenomenon for Black Americans. These ideas are obvious unless you're purposely ignorant.

9/11 and the aftermath were so ruinous to this country because most Americans do live in a bubble. The immediate bluster and fantasy that we were attacked "because they hate our freedoms" just added to this and proceeded to fuel our disastrous response to the 9/11 attacks when a more intelligent nation would have seen it as a tragic moment we were caught unaware and moved on with appropriate and limited military response towards those actually responsible. Instead of this fantastical notion of trying to restore the invincibility and perfect goodness of The United States of America.

Insulting to the family members of the heroes who died that day. An absolute slap in the face that someone would exploit this tragedy for their own economic fantasies.

This is all true but has almost nothing to do with what she said in the Tweet.

The first two tweets at least had some argument, the third is just the stuff of conspiracies.
