Media Accuses Black Man of Racism for Complaining About Haitians
Front Page Magazine ^ | September 10, 2024 | Daniel Greenfield

A city commission meeting at Springfield, Ohio went viral after video of residents complaining about the 20,000 Haitians who had invaded the city and trashed it became a major political talking point.

At the meeting, Anthony Harris, a local resident alleged that Haitians were, among other things, coming into parks and grabbing ducks by the neck, and then taking them off to eat them.

Memes quickly followed of Trump protecting ducks and cats from Haitian migrants. And what was a serious issue became a joke.

The media quickly went into defense mode and began denying that there were any “verified” reports of migrants eating pets and ducks. Media outlets also began promoting claims that the allegations were racist.

“This is the same old anti-Black playbook that we’ve seen for hundreds of years in Ohio being rolled out to divide and create hate, especially around election times,” said Erik Crew, staff attorney at the Haitian Bridge Alliance and a Cincinnati native with Springfield roots.

“White supremacist and antidemocratic movements have always used the claim that so-called Black savages are coming to destroy, especially when political power is up for grabs. This is no different. This time they are saying it is Haitians, and this time it is being used to try to score political points around immigration as well.”

Except the whole thing is coming from a black man. Not that the media tends to let a little thing like that stop its propagandists from doing their thing anyway.

Whether or not any housepets are being eaten, there’s nothing surprising about third-world migrants eating ducks, geese and swans in the park.

There aren’t any free range chickens in Springfield. What are the Haitians supposed to do?

Were there even 20,000 people in that town before the Haitians arrived?

It’s the stupid, short-sighted policies of the Democratic Party that create the problem. The residents of Springfield are just pointing the problems out.

If the Haitians ate members of the media, it’s not likely the ducks would be upset.

Hey, Erik: move down to Port-au-Prince for a few months and then get back to us. (If you survive that long.)

The government plunked 20,000 third-worlders into a town of 58,000. But it’s apparently racist to be against all that.

The U.K. is also getting to reap the benefits of ‘diversity’ when their government decides to house 10s of thousands of ‘migrants’ at old RAF bases next to villages of say a thousand or so. Local facilities are overwhelmed, but objecting to it gets people thrown in gaol.

Even IF the Haitians WANTED to assimalate, how could they on their own?

It’s a FUBAR beginning to end

It's amazing to see the lengths that the LAAP-dog media will go to protect The Narrative.

This is how "the media" drives rust belt voters to President Trump.

I have been there. Like lots of small towns, best days are way behind it. Not strong enough to resist with zero help from leaders in Columbus.

Shame on the US government. If you put 2 in every little town in Ohio, they would meekly integrate. US created a mob, a gang, which the city has no control over.

One or two families in a town and they’d assimilate. But put 20,000 of them together, of course they won’t. ‘Their’ part of town will become a ‘Little Haiti’ where few of the locals will dare to venture.

Years ago, the US media referred to Nelson Mandela as an African-American. Because, you know, all the people with dark skin are the same, if you’re Leftist.
