They're the Captains Now

Like the Italian Mafia, the Irish mob, and Russian Bratva, Minnesota Somalis follow a long tradition of criminal enterprises comprised of common nationalities, ethnicities and shared culture.

It seems to me that the Somali “community” has evolved from what was once a genuine community into something far more sinister—a full-blown criminal enterprise. And before anyone jumps down my throat, let’s be crystal clear: this isn’t a racial statement. It’s a statement rooted in culture, plain and simple. We don’t bat an eye when we talk about the Italian Mafia, the Irish mob, or the Russian Bratva. Those labels stick because those criminal outfits are typically bound by shared ethnicity and cultural ties. It’s the same deal here with Somalis who happen to be black.

Criminals are criminals, end of story. Skin color doesn’t grant immunity, and pointing out patterns in behavior isn’t bigotry—it is simple observation.

The real kicker, though, is how this group has managed to game the system like pros.

They recognized the protection a soft society gives so-called “protected” classes in America and realized being black, migrants, and on welfare (upwards of 89% of Somali households in Minnesota receive some sort of welfare benefit) made them political power brokers within the DFL —and was the equivalent of a forcefield generated to shield them from criticism, investigation or prosecution (in Minnesota, aided by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

They also learned that when the victim is the amorphous “state” instead of an individual, somehow the people responsible for stewardship of state and federal funds don’t really see billions of dollars evaporate as a big deal.

Thanks to a moronic and slavish devotion to racial politics, bad actors in the Somali communities readily accepted that shield given by the very state they’re preying upon. Politicians and bureaucrats, terrified of being labeled racist, bend over backward to protect them, claiming the real problem here are the white people who noticed the fraud, even as they rack up crimes that hit everyone else in the wallet and the safety net.

As sort of a test to see how far this DEI “protection” goes, I asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok for information on the fraud and how it was connected to the Somali communities. Claude and ChatGPT told me they weren’t “comfortable” about making “sweeping generalizations about an entire ethnic community”.

Of course, when I asked for the same information about the Italian Mafia, the Irish mob, or the Russian Bratva, that was no problem.

Grok searched news outlets and gave me examples of how the Somali communities—and likely terrorist organizations and the country of Somalia itself—are benefitting from the massive fraud.

We’re talking about everything from wire and welfare fraud, to gang violence and piracy on the high seas bleeding into urban chaos. The victims? The state itself, along with the hardworking citizens who fund it through taxes and get saddled with the debt these leeches help accumulate. It’s like watching a parasite convince its host that killing it would be intolerant.

Think about it: in places like Minneapolis or parts of Europe, Somali enclaves have become hotbeds for organized crime, from smuggling rings to youth gangs terrorizing neighborhoods. Yet, the media and lawmakers tiptoe around it, throwing around terms like “cultural differences” or “systemic oppression” as excuses. Meanwhile, the Italian mob gets romanticized in movies, but if anyone calls out Somali piracy or clan-based extortion, and suddenly you’re the villain. Hypocrisy at its finest. These folks arrive as refugees, get propped up by public dollars, and then turn around and bite the hand that feeds them—often literally, with attacks on police or rival groups. And the state? It just keeps writing checks, enforcing “diversity” quotas that prioritize appearance over accountability.

This protection racket isn’t accidental; it’s engineered by ideologues who worship at the altar of identity politics. They see any criticism as an attack on “blackness” or “immigrant rights,” ignoring that plenty of other immigrant groups integrate without turning to crime as a cultural norm. The Irish and Italians eventually shed their mobster reputations through assimilation and law enforcement crackdowns. But Somalis? They’re getting a free pass, with community leaders deflecting blame onto “racism” while their networks flourish underground. It’s genius, really—commit the crime, cry victim, and watch the authorities scramble to apologize.

This setup is about as close to the perfect crime as we’re likely to see in our lifetimes. No need for elaborate heists when the system itself is rigged in your favor. The state becomes complicit, citizens foot the bill, and the cycle perpetuates.

Until we ditch this blind devotion to racial pandering and start treating crime as crime—regardless of the perpetrator’s background—we’re all just marks in this grand scam.

Wake up, folks; they are the captains now, and the captain is laughing all the way to the bank.
