“They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats,” said Donald Trump in his debate with Kamala Harris. “They are eating the pets of the people that live there.” President Trump was referring to claims that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are eating people’s pets. The so-called fact checkers swiftly “debunked” this claim, though that does not mean much considering the nonsense they let the vice president get away with.
Some residents have reported that pets and local wildlife are falling victim to Haitians. Corporate journalists have simply trusted denials from local politicians rather than getting the story themselves. It is not true that there is “no evidence.” There is no evidence that corporate journalists want people to know about. The work has been left to posters on X and independent reporters.

Who cares what residents think? Clearly, those who run America do not. Springfield had 58,000 residents in 2020. Within just a few years, an estimated 20,000 Haitians arrived. Changes like that generally do not happen unless a nation has suffered a crushing military defeat. Less than 25 years after September 11, 2001, that’s what it feels like.
Only a conquered people could produce parents like these.

Eleven-year-old Aiden Clark of Springfield died when Haitian immigrant Hermanio Joseph crashed into a school bus. More than 20 other students were injured. Mr. Joseph did not have a driver’s license, though reportedly he did have a “state ID.” He expressed remorse at his sentencing, albeit through a translator.
When Mr. Joseph was sentenced to prison in May 2024, Aiden Clark’s parents told people commenting on the case to “shut your mouth” and stop “spreading hate.” The parents’ more recent declaration has been enthusiastically covered by the press, including the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, and BBC.
“I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man,” said the dead boy’s father. He repeatedly blasted “hate” and Donald Trump, Senator JD Vance, and other Republican officials. “In order to live like Aiden, you need to accept everyone, choose to shine, make the difference, lead the way, and be the inspiration,” he said.
The case was the predictable outcome of importing migrants from a troubled country and not making them obey the law. Whatever “leading the way,” “making the difference,” or other HR slogans mean in this context, if there is not a change, more Americans will die. More children could have died when the Haitian crashed into that school bus. In this case, we can at least be grateful that, unlike the father of Mollie Tibbets, the victim’s father did not rhapsodize about immigrants’ food.
The response probably reflects the default morality of many white Americans, for whom “racism” is the greatest of evil. If empathy and altruism are supposed to win respect from non-whites, it does not seem to be working.
For example, author Raw Egg Nationalist cites the case of Jonathan Lewis, a white teenager beaten by blacks in what national figures would surely have called a lynching if the races had been reversed. His father dutifully recited the script, appealing to the “human race” that is apparently “screaming for us to see our unity.” “Not a race thing!” he said.
It did no good; the killers got a slap on the wrist, pleading to manslaughter and getting juvenile detention. “There’s literally no one being held accountable with true punishment for my son’s murder,” said the victim’s mother. “It’s disgusting.” The sentencing received little attention compared to the father’s denunciation of those who wanted to make it a “race thing.” This is how social peace is preserved.
The truth is that the Lewis case, conflict in Springfield, and most other conflicts in the United States are a “race thing.” Blacks tend to defend collectively even the worst of their race when brought before the justice system. Governments tread cautiously when dealing with blacks but operate with no fear against whites. It is precisely because blacks are more given to crime, violence, and chaos that they receive more lenient treatment while law-abiding whites can be crushed. The assumptions of white guilt also ensure that the media will heap scorn on any resistance to population transfers of huge numbers of non-whites. In today’s anti-white climate, the white residents of a town are expected to justify why they do not want their community handed over to heavily subsidized foreigners who worsen the quality of life.
Everyone in Springfield, Ohio, bears new burdens because of the Haitian influx. The city’s school system is now being forced to provide translation and support. Car insurance rates have reportedly soared. Residents are priced out of neighborhoods because Americans don’t get the subsidies Haitians do. At least one resident was forced out of her home after Haitians began squatting on her lawn, to the indifference of the authorities.

Not surprisingly, few mainstream media reporters consider any of this “evidence.” Perhaps anecdotal accounts are not “confirmed reports,” but they are more compelling than bland denials from officials who would have to admit that horrors occurred on their watch.

Rumors about Springfield were swirling back in March, including reports that Haitians were eating ducks in parks.

National media also seem to be ignoring Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who said these people would be competent witnesses in court.
Some progressives seem to believe that the extremism of a claim automatically discredits it. However, in many cases, yesterday’s far-right parody becomes today’s reality. The same knee-jerk dismissal greeted President Trump’s claim that Kamala Harris wanted to pay for the sex change operations of illegal immigrants in jail.

The condescending denial of reality is an effective tactic. The scale of the replacement is so extreme that it seems unrealistic. Thus, progressives can mock President Trump for alleging that Haitians are eating cats and dogs while ignoring everything else that is happening. Americans in Springfield, Ohio, have lost their community, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Residents have complained to city government, but it is not the city government that brought in these people. It was the federal government. This suggests that the usual advice that people should focus on local politics is wrong. The AP says Haitians have “reshaped” the city, but residents never asked for a transformation. To whom can they complain? What democratic methods exist to stop such a sweeping demographic transformation? If there is none, what good is “our democracy”?
Some people seem to see the resettlement as punishment and have even said the whites in Springfield deserve to be deported for being poor.
Some Springfield, OH facts:
– It has an insane 80 drug overdoses per 100k
– 1/3rd of children are in poverty
– The per capita income is $24k
– The residents have been dependent on welfare for the past 3 generationsMaybe we should be shipping Springfielders *to* Haiti instead https://t.co/hVVOW24z1V pic.twitter.com/Tb1tpVF3R8

Note that these are the moderate attitudes. Others want whites massacred for the crime of existing. Racial massacres are, along with voodoo and dirt cookies, a Haitian tradition.

Bringing Haitians to the United States is revealing. It can be argued that Haiti was founded on white genocide. The Haitian constitution, for example, contains bloodcurdling threats against the French. Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the first Haitian “emperor,” led the massacre of whites. Eventually killed by his own people, he went on to become a favorite of modern media and to have at least one street named after him in America.
Today, Christian organizations, funded by American taxpayers, are leading resettlement efforts, though Haiti’s revolution is said to have begun with a pagan animal sacrifice and a declaration of war against the Christians’ “white god.”
In an age of “decolonization,” Haiti — the first and only nation founded on a successful servile insurrection — should be a paradise if progressive principles were correct. One would expect that Haitians abandoning a black homeland to live off charity in a majority-white country would feel humiliated. Of course, Haiti is one of the most hopelessly dependent nations on Earth. Mired in eternal crisis, it has not recovered from an earthquake that happened more than a decade ago. It has no government.
However, because of its degraded state, it is a favorite for NGOs and missionaries. If Haiti did not exist, they would have to invent it. Their failure to change conditions on the island or to prevent the occasional slaughter of missionaries does not seem to deter them. Because Haitians are unlikely to thrive in the United States, they make ideal clients of the multicultural state. Much as the English relocated Protestants to Ulster to secure their hold on a once-rebellious part of Ireland, dropping dependent Haitians in a red state to change its demographics is settler colonization. When Russia or China uses similar transfers to secure their holds on disputed territories, everyone recognizes their hostile intent. One has to struggle not to see that that is what is happening in Springfield.
The Haitians are not “illegal immigrants.” They have “temporary” protected status from the Biden-Harris Administration that will probably never be revoked. They are settlers, inserted into an existing community by the Potomac Regime without the consent of the native population and seemingly without anything the people can do about it.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, although a Republican, does not seem to care. He has laughed at claims the Haitians are eating pets. Pathological altruism might be at work: the DeWine family have long been concerned with Haiti, even starting a school there. (The school was recently forced to close because of gang violence.)

However, Gov. DeWine, clearly on the defensive, has issued a statement blaming the federal government for the difficult conditions in Springfield. He does not say he will stop the population transfers. He just wants to spend more taxpayer money on Haitians.

This is not happening in just Springfield. Local residents are powerless. It could happen to anyone reading this article. The federal government and its partner NGOs could decide to plant a settlement of their non-white clients across the street from your house. A life’s work could be destroyed within weeks as crime rises, property values fall, and schools decline.
How to stop this? Defund NGOs, make people who settle migrants liable for their behavior, end refugee programs. Populists could even demand that Americans automatically receive any benefits migrants get. There are plenty of obvious solutions. What is missing is will, and the key to will is racial consciousness.
The controversy is not really about cats and dogs, Haitians driving without licenses, or voodoo. It is about race. Whites are morally disarmed, and thus have no way to understand and protest their dispossession. Without racial consciousness, no coherent defense is possible. Instead, we are left with anecdotes about Haitians killing geese that journalists can nitpick and “debunk.”

It is a race issue, because culture flows from race. Our people are being dispossessed in their own country. Unlike the Haitians, this is the only country we have. Those carrying out this colonization program seem utterly indifferent toward the natives. Yet ultimately, their motivations are not what matters. What matters is the will of our own people to resist. Recognizing the problems and speaking out about them are not enough.
To win, we must recognize ourselves as a “we,” as a people with collective interests and a right to our own communities and nation. If we do not speak in our defense, no one will. If America wants to get serious about fighting “hate,” we need to start with the anti-white self-hatred promoted by our rulers. White advocates are the alternative. Springfield, Ohio, is a good place to begin.
