“So before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.”
― The Haj
This is clearly how the Somali community in Minnesota operates. It's support the Clan no matter what, especially when you're being attacked by the hated infidel.
It's the clannishness that's led to them deflecting, denying and obfuscating the huge, massive fraud (ok, "alleged" fraud) that's ripped over $US 8 Billion from the American taxpayer -- money that was to go to children and autism sufferers -- and instead of saying "We have a problem in our community and we must cooperate to help stamp it out", are saying "Not me, boss. Not us". And "you're all racists and white supremacists" for noticing the fraud. ("alleged" fraud...).
Such a huge story on the Right. Such a non-story on the Left: full of deflection, deletion, denial and name-calling, not just by the Somali Clans, but also by the legacy media, who are all-in to deny the rampant fraud, that even they admitted was happening during Biden's admin... Weird.
