Somali influx gets mixed Carolina welcome: Despite plight, Bantu refugees aren't embraced

AYCE, S. C. -- For the Somali Bantu headed for South Carolina, the promised land is an air-conditioned apartment with a green door, gray shutters, and a clothesline out back.

''They'll probably think it's heaven,'' said Viola Hatten, who lives at the Pinewood Apartments, where a two-bedroom unit rents for $395 a month.

Japanese pickup trucks and AK-47s will be their first "hunting" needs.

These government bureaucrats and church dogooders are destroying American culture and importing stoneage killers.

I would not be surprised to see some retaliatory actions against these non-profit elitists.

Notice they did not put them in undiversified areas such as 125th Street, Chicago, Milwaukee, South Central LA, Detroit, Indianapolis, or DC.

They went where they could literally steal from a healthy hard working traditional taxbase.

Legalized and taxpayer subsidized block busting.

We need more diversity in the welfare population.

I think people are also upset because as everyone knows, the Bantu's presence will also attract Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner. I wouldn't want him running though my neighborhood.

This is really misguided liberalism at its worst. The problems in Somalia need to be fixed in Somalia, and bringing the Bantu here does nothing to that end. But, the do gooders in the Lutheran Services feel so much better for doing this. Just like a liberal....

[Neophyte]

People would be amazed at how quickly the refugees adapt.

This is a brazen-faced lie! I can witness what happend to a small New Zealand city of Hamilton and to the capital city of the country, Wellington, where several hundred Somalis (Bantu or no Bantu) have been settled.

For starters, they never and in no way absorb into the bigger community: they look down upon all the Caucasians, and don't feel any gratitude for what is done for them.

Secondly, they tend not to adopt any of the Western ways, and not to obey the local rules and traditions. Instead, they quickly emulate the Third World mess, ruthlessness, violence, and squalor to any decent place they're settled in. Parts of Wellington already look like Mogadisho.

Thirdly, their community cannot be penetrated by an outsider, and they unshamedly use it to swindle the welfare authorities.

The list could be continued on and on, but let's make the only possible conclusion: if several Somalis in a small community would be a problem, their presense en masse is an inevitable disaster.

P.S. Just read Orianna Falaci's bestseller The Rage and the Pride to see what the influx of Somalian (phoney) refugees made to Italy.

If I weas Carolina, I'd put up a sighn that says STAY out and GO HOME

I suppose, the fact that Luterans are involved in this resettlement means the Bantu aren't Muslims, but Christians.

Well, in my opinion, it doesn't do any substantual difference. As far as these people are concerned, their tribal mentality is much stronger than any religious affiliations. In their core, they're still animists, and that's what makes them such an easy prey for the Muslim zealots. Don't be surprised, if Christian Bantu pretty soon will begin to call on the local mosque, and then they'll require a one of their own to be built...

The other important thing to keep in mind is their centuries old tradition of slave trade. Don't forget, that the Somalis were those who provided human merchandise to the white slavers. Nowadays the tribal nomenklatura continues to sell their fellow-tribesmen to people traffickers, so the biggest part of those coming to the West are fraudulent refugess and bullsh*t boat people...

[doosee]

In their male-dominated culture, it is acceptable for a male to strike a female, even if the woman is his mother

Lexington School district will have fun with this one. But, in the interest of diversity, so what if Miss Honeybunny the English teacher gets whacked a few times....

***Thirdly, their community cannot be penetrated by an outsider, and they unshamedly use it to swindle the welfare authorities.***

A pastor in Buffalo, NY brought over a contingent of people from a poor European country. He promised that his church would find jobs for all of them. Too bad he didn't tell that to the newcomers. They no sooner arrived than they applied for welfare. And got it.

The pastor later apologized for his mistake.

Uhh. These aren't the slavers. These are the descendants of the slaves.

[Neophyte]

Well, allow me to disagree. Maybe they're both?

However, the chain of the trade in humans begins from Somali (as well as other African) traders, who used to sell their fellow-tribesmen to white slavers. This is a fact of history.

Not too politically correct? No, but nevertheless true.

[sarcasm]

I suppose, the fact that Luterans are involved in this resettlement means the Bantu aren't Muslims, but Christians.

I believe that they are 100% Moslem.

My mother's and my aunt's nursing home, "The Episcopal Church Home", which I selected because they were all very religious and it was a beautiful building, in the 4 years they were there went from a few Somalis to almost all Somalis. They were having their diapers changed by angry looking Somali Muslim males!

[Vesuvian]

Why is it that newcomers are entitled to welfare? When my father came to the USA, he and his family needed a sponsor to guarantee that they wouldn't be a burden to the government.

Maybe we should just pay welfare to people overseas, at least then maybe they'll stop swarming over the border.

[Neophyte]

They no sooner arrived than they applied for welfare. And got it.

Did they lend and borrow children among themselves in order to apply for bigger dole?

Somalis did. And do it again and again - who can say to whom this or that bunch of kids belongs in as impenetrable community as theirs?

Did they immediately apply for "family reunion" on the American soil with distant relatives (ties to whom couldn't be checked considering the state of civil services in Somalia)?

Somalis did. And now their sixth cousins are applying for their sixth cousins to join the tribe...

[somedaysoon]

It was mentioned in the article that a mosque was going to sponser a family. Don't think that would happen is they were Christians.

"The Bantu are not welcome - and do not want to live - in Somalia."


But they're welcome here!
