So, she doesn't have the right, as an American, to protest what she chooses? that's what you're saying?

I’m not debating her legal rights. I’m laughing at someone who was in danger of becoming some dude’s lunch climbing the Statue of Liberty to protest the country that took her in. She is ridiculous.

She should be grateful that she has two arms to climb monuments and stop wasting taxpayers’ resources.

Truth served bluntly. Love it. She should be fighting for Black people in her country, Julio and Maria are disgusted by her dark skin but she probably loves them.

She has the right to.

If she had discussed the true reason why she left the Congo, it would have highlighted the fact that she is protesting the country that kindly took her in to escape from the horror show that is playing out back home. Her intention was to make America, the country that rescued her and gave her a chance at life, look like the bad guy. Admitting why she left the Congo to come to America would have made her look like the hypocrite that she really is.

With that logic, she can’t and shouldn’t ever protest anything including police violence against blacks, corruption in our political system, etc.

That's exactly right. When you come here voluntarily you either Love or Leave America.

My vote is for you to be on Trump's Immigration Advisory board next 'go round. You're doing a great job

I can respect your opinion.. but,

Do you know this woman personally to know what her intentions were? Forget Congo..she is HERE and here to stay. I can see that her exercising her rights as a U.S. citizen may be stuck in your craw, but you can talk until you turn blue.. you don't have the power to change her citizenship status: Blunt truth

Actually, no. That’s not true. Once you are a citizen, you have every right to protest like everyone else. Sorry you don’t like it.

Being in the fitness industry, I wondered what she did. Is she a trainer or a non-certified trainer? I wonder what they mean about illegally posting ads for her services? Anyway, she has the right to protest even though I think she seems to me to have some screws loose.

In 2011, Okoumou made headlines after she was hit with an astounding 60 violations for illegally posting ads for her services as a personal trainer.

What are you talking about? When did I ever say that I had the power to change her citizenship? I don't give a damn about her citizenship but I do give a damn about her taking up for a group of people who come from countries that despise Blacks because that directly impacts me, especially when I know for a fact that if she were still living in her homeland she would not welcome thousands of people who are of a different race flooding in to compete with her people for resources. I don't know her but what I DO KNOW is that she would not be here for that.

Wow, so many disgusting comments in here :nono:

Has this been posted? Warning for language

intellectualuva · Aug 8, 2018

Clearly she did (well said) this (the profanity) against legal advice? Or is this a strategy that can work?

nysister · Aug 11, 2018

Yeah I'm not feeling her at all. This is not a Black woman I'll be putting my cape on for. Honestly I think she has issues and should seek help.

HappilyLiberal · Oct 8, 2018

Ok, so now we the black community is silencing her...

This is why my cape remained neatly folded in my closet!

intellectualuva · Oct 8, 2018

Tell your truth sis. May she gets the support she feels she needs. :look:

ETA: She's got 10.5K in her gofundme. I hope she reaches her goal of 15K:

Farida · Oct 8, 2018

Wow. Just wow.

Actually, they can revoke her citizenship if she commits a felony. She'd better pray those charges stay at the misdemeanor level.

Not true. You can lose a green card for certain things but the ONLY way they can take away your citizenship is if you acquired it through fraud/or you weren’t otherwise eligible when you got it.
