'Long-simmering' tension at South High leads to 'all-out brawl'
MinnPost ^ | 2/15/13 | Brian Lambert

Posted on 02/15/2013 5:40:09 AM PST by crosshairs

That “all-out brawl” at South High in Minneapolis got coverage from virtually every local outlet. At WCCO-TV, Esme Murphy reports: “Twelve people complained that they had been sprayed with mace. Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up. … [One student] said the fights were over pride. ‘I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,’ she said. ‘They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.’ She also said ‘boys were hitting girls’ and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender.… The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.”

The Strib story, by Paul Walsh and Kelly Smith, says, “Guled Omar, a senior, said he was sitting in the cafeteria when the outburst began after a boy hit a girl. ‘I don't feel safe here,’ Omar said. ‘This is something that has been going on’ for at least two years, he said. ‘I don't know if it's because we're minorities of the newest immigrant group,’ Omar added, saying he has complained to the principal and the School District.”

KSTP-TV’s story, reported by Joe Mazan, says: “Classes will be in session Friday, the district said Thursday evening. The school will implement a safety plan ‘to ensure that there is support for a safe learning environment.’ Additional counselors and support staff will be on hand. The school will operate under a ‘code yellow’ Friday. Students will remain in their classrooms during class periods and access in and out of the building will be limited. The school will be on its normal schedule.”

If the 8%/20% numbers are indicative of the racial makeup of the kids in the cafeteria, then 7 out of 10 kids were not part of the fight or joined in just for fun.

“Black students vs really black student”
Sounds like a reality show or a MadTV skit.

So, let’s work out the de facto definition of “African American”, since obviously it isn’t “an american of african origin”...

Just from observation, what I can tell from their self definition is this:
“a person with skin ‘darker than a paper bag’ whose cultural tendencies tend to be aligned with that of the urban, anti-Western Civilization thug”?

I would like a list of the 100 or so Americans most responsible for importing these assimilable savages into our country.

I put them in the same category as kitchen workers who put poison into the soup.

The feds are allowing muslims by the thousands, probably tens of thousands to emigrate here since 911. They are building cultural bunkers and education bunkers and they come from all countries

Oh, the whole point of bringing in other cultures that won’t assimilate is to destroy our culture.

That is one of the primary goals of the left.

It’s just part of their anti-Christ agenda.

“The Somalis will never integrate into our society.”

You say that as if the ones they were fighting with ever did?

Somalis are in Tennessee, too. There is a Somali ghetto in Nashville, and the nearby Murfreesboro mega mosque is their jihad compound. Unassimilable, nobody can stand them, & the local black population hates them the worst.

‘boys were hitting girls’

Darned right. Equality and all that. If they are good enough for combat, then no difference in a brawl.

Actually, there is nothing more physically dangerous than an enraged black female. Seriously.

From what I hear from people in nearby Columbus Ohio is that the native blacks are angry at the Somalis because the new immigrant group is mostly hard working. These Somalis don’t want to be a welfare group is that is what is angering the rest of the neighborhood.

Actually, I don't care if those two groups annihilate each other. Muslims vs the entitlement crowd. It's good if both disappear.

IIRC, they were brought in by churches and migrated to places with the most generous welfare benefits. There were Settlement House-type classes to teach them about modern conveniences. Evidently, they adapted to the climate &/or decided it was a good trade-off for the benefits.

So who won? Did the somali's get their unwashed asses kicked?

We have a bunch of them in Columbus Ohio. There were some that worked at a UDF store up the road. When it came time to give you your change, all of a sudden they couldn't understand english and became babbling idiots. Thankfully they aren't there anymore.

But neither am I. They were filthy and never washed their hands. I found another place to buy beer and gas. I'll bet lots of other folks did too.

I know they were brought in (as refugees); I didn’t post that they had been “allowed in” (I was responding to that post). I thought they chose those places because it is hard to be a welfare parasite in cold places; they’d be productive or be very uncomfortable. On the other hand, I don’t know if they are even allowed to work; some European countries allowed refugees in on the specific condition that they couldn’t work there (to protect their own populations in a way our government doesn’t from illegals). It is weird to see them in Minneapolis with their burquas/veils; it is surreal.

We’ve had the same problems over in the next county. One person described it as “Black students vs really black student”. The Americans pick on the Africans for being too dark.

The (non-Muslim) African immigrants are more likely to want to study and do well in school, which upsets the "gangsta" set.
