* Years ago the State Department tried to resettle the initial wave of Somalis to Atlanta. The Somalis didn’t like ‘the brothers’ there and, being an intercontinental vagrant population, had scouts who reported that Maine, with its almost entirely white population offered more value per welfare dollar. The Atlanta Somalis decamped en masse to Lewiston, Maine. It was quite a story at the time as the poor folks in Maine suddenly had stone age people showing up in town.
* I’ve lived in St Cloud for about thirty years. Up until about twenty years ago we were about 99% white in a metropolitan area of 100,000 (excluding the inmates of the local prison). We were fairly called “White Cloud”.
In the 1990′s, developers with Section 8 vacancies imported blacks from the Chicago and Gary Ind. areas. Previously unknown violent crime followed.
As Reg Caesar indicated previously, in the late ’90′s, Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities started settling Somalis in to St Cloud to the point now where there are about 5,000. Apparently we were starving for the benefits of diversity. Affirmative discrimination has progressed so far that this 95% white area has successively appointed a black police chief, a black transit director, and now a black school superintendent. They are punishing us for our whiteness.
Unlike the Somalis who settled in Minneapolis’s Cedar-Riverside area, the Somalis in St Cloud are not a source of excessive crime. We’d rather have them than the Chicago/Gary blacks we now have.
Generally, Somalis are quiet and keep to themselves. The older Somali men reflect a patriarchal society that rubs local white women the wrong way. The teen Somali girls who have been here many years seem to have acclimated better than the majority of Somalis whose allegiance doesn’t seem to have transplanted to America.
A few months ago, a facebook photo of a Somali girl in a wheelchair suggesting she was a terrorists resulted the Somalis disrupting their high school. CAIR jumped in to agitate the local Somalis. By the way, about one week after the incident, six Somalis from Minneapolis were indeed indicted for attempting to join a terrorist group.
When a local VFW invited a speaker from California to speak about the refugee program, the local SJWs blocked access to the venue. Weeks later, the speaker was able to give their talk in a private venue. No fireworks ensued.
Gov. Dayton came to St. Cloud and the local NAACP meeting as one-upsmanship to the locals who were trying to figure out any excessive benefits that refugees receive. Dayton’s visit was intended to keep the rubes in their place and empower the existing SJWs to continue to use affirmative discrimination.
When I first came to St Cloud from the Twin Cities thirty years ago, I was stunned by the friendliness and trusting nature of the locals. That is now changing thanks to the SJWs who know what is good for us.
* I agree, the real enemies are those whites that are purposely destroying white cities with these black buggers. From what I understand they get something like $10-20K per Somali that they settle.
And lets be clear about these “Christian charities” – they are leftwing political groups nowadays. If they were Christian they would be petitioning Obama to help the Assyrian Christians, etc. They aren’t. But instead importing hundreds of thousands of hostile Muslims they’ve shown their true colors – anti-white and anti-Christian.
We might as well consider them the logistical arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.
