Weird this is exactly like the pirate stuff we’ve learned about in cartoons. Take over a ship. Make the crew be loyal or walk the plank, cancel fireworks, raise the Jolly Roger.


Buffalo raised the Somali flag to celebrate Somalia's Independence Day and to honor the heritage and contributions of the city's local Somali immigrant and refugee community.

The ceremonial flag raising at City Hall took place amidst local controversy, as it occurred shortly after city officials announced the cancellation of the downtown Fourth of July fireworks display

why were the 4th of july fireworks cancelled?



"The city has not hosted an Independence Day fireworks display since 2015 when an event was held at Canalside." and this years attempt was canceled because "“After exploring potential locations, an appropriate site could not be identified that would provide a safe and widely accessible viewing experience for residents."


AND in separate news,

Heal International has raised a flag in Buffalo on Somali independence day for years. A city spokesperson said an American flag remains flying in Niagara Square, adding that it was never taken down, and the second pole serves as a ceremonial pole that people can apply to fly their flags on. “The flagpoles in Niagara Square are available for use by the public, and over the years a variety of organizations have flown flags there, including those representing Ukraine, Greece, Ireland, Puerto Rico, the Karen community, Italy, Bangladesh, and more,”





So the entire premise that these 2 things are related and both by the city of Buffalo is completely BS. Well done OP, looking for nonsense reasons to be offended by. Further proof MAGA are the largest snowflakes in the world.

You need to question your troll sources a little more. Quick fact check of your source would tell you how wrong you are. Unless you think this guy is of Somali decent.


Mitch Nowakowski, very traditional Somali name.

Sources? I with no time at all, used the Buffalo NY city council members search in the google. https://www.buffalony.gov/387/Common-Council-Members

JUST IN: Americans nationwide are livid after MULTIPLE CITIES are flying the SOMALI FLAG during America's 250th birthday

Buffalo, Boston and Minneapolis just went full SOMALI 3RD WORLD SAVAGE MODE over America.

Utterly DISGRACEFUL.

Columbus, Ohio was forced into RETREATING from flying the Somali flag, after a "firestorm" erupted against them

Move to Somalia if you love it so much!

No...its not all fake. How about reading it all???
you can read my simplified notes, or you can read the full articles, It is only 2 articles but I show the specific gaps in your story line. You are stitching together partial truths and trying to create a nothingburger to create ire and hatred <specifc to Buffalo>. Thats all you are good for as you try to "spread my truth and wake people up!" You and people like you are the problem.

And for specific clarity. I am speaking to Buffalo specifically, that is what got a bee in your bonnet.

I do not understand what liberals think they are accomplishing by doing sh*t like this. Yes, I can read. Yes, I see they have been doing this for four years now. Yes, I understand the cancellation of the fireworks is not related.

I don’t care. None of that makes raising the Somali flag outside of city hall acceptable.

Am I outraged? No. But it’s indefensible.

Pandering to stupidity.
