It Is Not Racist to Notice Reality
Hotair ^ | 06/04/2026 | David Strom

When you are passing judgments on individuals regarding their character, it is not right to judge them based on their immutable characteristics as part of a group.

We judge individuals based on who they are and what they do.

On the other hand, when you are evaluating a group, it's just as wrong to disaggregate it into individual atoms and claim that there are no group characteristics that are relevant to making a judgment.

That's why it is simultaneously true that individuals who are part of some group may be good, and the group as a whole is still harmful. When I meet a liberal, for instance, I do not immediately assume that they are degenerates who embrace demonic practices, while I feel perfectly comfortable saying that as a group the Democratic Party is degenerate and embraces demonic practices, like sterilizing and mutilating children, endorsing Nazis who become communists, and al Qaeda supporters.

Both can be true. Some of my favorite people are Democrats; the Democratic Party is evil.

I once went to speak at a public school in my city. On the wall behind me was a massive poster that said “Other cultures are not failed attempts at your culture. Every culture is a unique and beautiful expression of the human spirit.”

It was in a math class.

Multiculturalism has been the religion of the Left, one they’ve passed on to every public school student for decades. It’s a Luciferian religion—nothing right, nothing wrong, nothing better, nothing worse. Humans are the only arbiters. We’re our own gods. To suggest otherwise is “hate.”

The reaction of this woman isn’t a genuine human reaction to actual hate. It’s the response of a brainwashed cult member coming face to face with reality and desperately trying to hold her beliefs together. https://t.co/tV0b5uj4FS— Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) June 4, 2026

I once went to speak at a public school in my city. On the wall behind me was a massive poster that said “Other cultures are not failed attempts at your culture. Every culture is a unique and beautiful expression of the human spirit.”

So when I watch this exchange, I am utterly unmoved by Ohio State Senator Antonio's outrage about Rep. Gill's question about Somali immigration in Ohio. 

Gill is not saying every single Somalian is a bad person or a fraudster, although from my own experience in Minnesota, it comes damned close because their culture is corrupt. There are wonderful Somalis, but so what? What does that have to do with the horrific impact Somalian immigration has had in every community where they settle?

All you need to do is look at raw facts to conclude that the influx of Somalis has been devastating everywhere they come. As a community, they are a walking, talking welfare fraud scheme, along with the primary practitioners of barbaric practices such as female genital mutilation. They commit far more than their share of sex crimes, and go out of their way to shun integration. 

I have met integrated Somalis, and they seem nice enough. I would have no problem with their immigrating to the United States, but I am more than willing to give up that nice benefit in exchange for not living surrounded by women in niqabs living in polygamous relationships committing massive welfare fraud, and for women not having to be scared of being on the same street with Somali men. 

Somalis have committed tens of billions in welfare fraud, and send some of that money back to terrorists in Somalia. There is a building boom in Mogadishu, where Somalis murdered American soldiers who were there to feed refugees. Black Hawk Down, anyone? 

Ilhan Omar's father was a communist revolutionary who participated in a government-led genocide, and she is my Congresswoman, who has, quite literally, said she dreams of returning to Somalia, to which she has pledged allegiance. She has been deeply involved in the fraud here. 

Ohio is another center of Somali fraud, and there are only 60,000 of them, yet they have committed BILLIONS in fraud. There are only 80-120,000 Somalis in Minnesota, yet they managed to defraud the state of about $20 billion that we know of. 

Don't tell me that they have been an asset to the community. 

It is not racist to restate facts. It is a dodge to deny them and scream "Racist!" 

It is an especially galling dodge to hear that from the same people who will look you in the eye and talk about how whites are inherently racist. They have no problem making sweeping generalizations about white people; they are, as you saw with Senator Antonio, speaking over the question by calling it racist. 

You can say the same thing about Muslim immigration (of which Somali is a subset). There are plenty of great Muslims, but as a group, they are not an asset to the country. Both can be true at once. We don't admit immigrants one by one, judging their characters, so we shouldn't pretend we do.

Congress needs to pass a law making it easier to strip someone of citizenship so we can send this excrement back to the orifice which excreted it

Other cultures are not failed attempts at your culture.

Right. Sometimes they're just plain evil. Sometimes they're an attempt to overthrow and destroy your culture.

Not all cultures are equal. Some of them need to be annihilated.

I am somewhat tired of the “Congress needs to pass a law” line. Hell, they couldn’t even pass the Save America Act!

There is no “i” in “team”. Corollary: There is no “i” in “group”. But if your “i”s suck, so does your group...

Just sayin...

“Both can be true. Some of my favorite people are Democrats;“

Nope.

Asshole doesn’t know when he’s in a war.

None of my favorite people are Democrats. My dad is a Democrat but I don’t like my dad. I have a duty toward my dad. There is a difference.

Some of my best friends are Democrats. They have the right to be wrong.

We have more than enough laws. Enforcing the ones we have would make America great again.
