Somali woman challenges narratives on racism and success, arguing that white Democrats envy the community's rapid generational wealth built on hard work rather than frivolous spending. She contrasts this with a billion-dollar Minnesota fraud scheme involving luxury purchases for taxpayer funds, labeling such behavior a "culture of pirates" inspired by media like Captain Phillips. While noting that African immigrants face disproportionate scrutiny compared to accepted white groups, she asserts the community's collective power now reaches the White House, framing their achievements as divine gifts despite derogatory labels. Ultimately, the discussion highlights systemic double standards in how immigrant success is perceived and policed. [Automatically generated summary]

Somali Success vs Black Family00:08:05
I cannot believe the audacity of these people from Somalia complain about our country.
Yeah, check this lady out.
You know, like the racists are actually just jealous of Somalis because of how successful we became.
Has nothing to do with them taking a billion dollars in taxpayer money.
Money that's meant for kids with starving kids, kids with autism, and sending it back to Somalia.
That has nothing to do with it.
It's just because the color of their skin and where they're from.
That's why Americans are criticizing them.
Yeah, they said white racist people are jealous of them based on your imagination.
Yeah.
You know, like the racists are actually just jealous of Somalis because of how successful we became in a matter of one generation.
And I was watching a lot of videos that are coming up on my For You page where people are saying, how come Somalis have nice cars and we don't?
We've been here like how many generations?
I noticed it about Democrats.
They make up lies and then they use that lie to push whatever narrative they're pushing.
Nobody's saying that.
Nobody's saying that.
White people, how do they get nice cars?
We've been here.
My family's been here four generations.
We still take the bus.
It doesn't even sound belief.
Yeah.
We were born here.
Our ancestors are from here.
But Somalis drive nice cars.
This whole thing is just making me realize it's jealousy.
They're jealous of our success because they expect us like to be at the bottom of the bottom.
And then we come here one generation, we work hard, we save our money.
Somalis are not the only community that committed fraud, okay?
Okay.
They're not the only community that committed a billion dollar fraud up in Minnesota.
That's the only community that's doing that anywhere in the United States.
You know why?
Because you're pirates.
Culture of pirates.
Yeah, they made movies about Somalia.
They're known for being pirates.
That was a damn good movie, Tom Hanks.
And then you come here with that same mindset and you're taking over a billion dollars out of the United States fraudulently.
After we've opened our hearts up to you people and gave y'all a better way of life here in America because you're running from all this destruction and crime and wars.
It doesn't make any sense.
And then you get on TikTok and you make up lies.
You're still being a pirate, misleading people.
We're not all committing fraud, okay?
Every community has bad apples, but they're trying to use that as leverage to hate on us, right?
And attack our community.
But what it is, is like when you're an immigrant group and you're black on top of that and you're African, they...
That does make it worse.
Because like I said earlier, we let you come here and look what you do.
Call us racist.
Yeah, that's crazy.
We let you cup your headstakes.
You people are jealous of us.
You're racist.
And they're just providing constructive criticism because of what your community is doing to the American taxpayer.
Big as that fraud scheme that's going on in Minnesota, people's got a, that's not just like a single family doing it.
That's everybody's fully aware inside of your community.
They know exactly what's going on.
A billion dollars, these are multiple families.
Democrats know what's going on.
Yeah.
The Somalis, y'all know exactly what's going on.
But y'all trying to make it out to be a family or a few bad apples.
That's BS.
If your community is so great, why didn't somebody in your community come out and be like a whistleblower and let the government know what's going on?
Y'all condone it.
No, because y'all look the other way.
You didn't know.
Man.
They hate you to be successful.
They hate you to be successful.
Now, if we were like European immigrants, like maybe Bosnians who are Muslims, but or Russians, and they become successful, nobody would blink an eye because they're white.
We don't care what race.
White people don't care what race you are.
They just want you to assimilate.
That's all they want.
They wanted the country to stay the same.
So we call out, call them pirates, fraudsters.
We point that out.
All of a sudden, we're racist.
We'll point that out.
But if we're white, the white people don't even care about when white people do it.
Or when white people succeed.
Yeah, we wouldn't care.
Yeah, because they're white.
I want to see everybody be successful.
But stop saying you're successful.
You're not successful.
You're at the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah.
But the fact that we're brown people from Africa.
Do you know what I mean?
It kills them.
Because the way we move, we don't move like we're inferior to anybody, right?
And it's bothering them.
And our name has reached the White House.
That's how powerful the Somali community is.
Because you're pirates.
I have this thing where if Somalis work together, the only problem Somalis have is like to build our country back.
We could have been like the most, we could have been a superpower nation.
How gifted Allah has made Somalis.
This is like satire.
This has got to be a joke.
Allah has made Somalis.
Hey, Kevin, that place.
What is she talking about?
You look up shithole in the dictionary, it's got for reference, Somalia.
Yeah, you look up pirates.
There's pictures of Somalis or something.
But you're gifted.
Allah has gifted you.
In making money, in being successful, in being able to see opportunity everywhere they go.
All right.
So there's this like guy on my ORU page and he was talking about, I used to be a handyman and I see Somalis, they all have nice cars.
And then, you know, the hate comments were down there.
Depart them, do this, do that.
And let me tell you something.
The reason why we have nice cars, nice clothes, we look good, we're shining, we're doing that is because we work and we don't spend our money on nonsense.
We don't.
Yeah, like one of the guys that had a grocery store, he was from East Africa and he took a bunch of the money from the starving kids for starving kids to taxpayer money.
And he was out there buying all this luxurious items and he paid all his credit cards off with it.
He even bought his business with stolen taxpayer funds.
That's how he bought the building.
She's trying to give us a substory there.
We don't take money.
We work hard.
We don't spend our money.
That's why we have nice cars on frivolous things.
If you're from Somalia and you just got here and you drive around in a nice car, we all know how you got it.
Being a pirate is how you got it.
You're stealing.
Fraud.
We don't spend our money on like the latest fashions, the latest wigs, the latest whatever.
We save our money and we work as a family unit.
We're not individualistic.
We work as communities.
We save our money and we help each other make big purchases.
Y'all need to talk to these American Negroes.
Somali community is very tight-knit.
American culture is very individualistic.
Everybody just, you're alone.
You're expected to do everything yourself.
You know, Somali community, we work together.
That's how we reached, that's how we became successful fast.
And we took, you know, the opportunities that were given to us in this country.
Community Work and Shared Wealth00:02:19
So is that wrong?
Let me get this straight.
So 50 of y'all living in one, y'all buy a house, and it's 50 people living in a house.
You consider that successful?
Y'all, y'all all up in the house, 50 of you.
Y'all laying across the stair floor like sardine.
That's what you call successful?
I hand it to you.
Yeah, y'all tight-knit.
Y'all wait.
Y'all, I would say y'all are far superior to the American black family.
The American black family, there's no such thing.
That's one.
You got some shit right here on your lip.
All right, keep it going.
But I tell you one thing.
Y'all do have an edge over the American black family.
Y'all do.
They still got that mindset, though.
Yeah, but you getting in.
What I'm trying to warn you is you're getting infected by that mindset.
And it's going to destroy your communities.
Yeah.
Because black people, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, a lot of the talking points you're sharing, it sounds like you've made some black friends since you got here.
You've been indoctrinated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Many immigrants before us did it.
Why can't we do it?
And now we're being punished for being successful too fast.
That's successful.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
And now they're trying to come at our community or deport them, do this to them.
Yeah.
Even Somalis, wherever we go, we're still going to be successful.
That's good.
Get out there.
Like Somalis.
Wherever you go, you're going to be successful.
It's a place that's so horrible and racist.
Get the hell out there.
Yeah, it sounds like she made some black friends.
Yeah.
And that whole soft story, people find out how successfully on, they deport them.
They got nice cars.
That's not even believable.
It's ridiculous.
But yeah, she's got a, for the most part, her mindset is not that bad.
Man, her mindset is horrible.
Yeah, because she probably made some black American friends.
Her mindset sucks.
And you know what?
The American blacks, black women, they hate her.
I know.
Because of the texture of her hair.
I'm thinking she got, because I can tell by our eyebrows and her skin tone.
