“”You can’t even have a preference around a liberal. A liberal homosexual says, ‘You should accept my lifestyle.’ But if you say, ‘Well, I accept your lifestyle, I just don’t want my kid to be one,’ well, you’re a bigot. But wait a minute, I accept the fact that you want to be homeless, I don’t want my kid to be homeless. I accept the fact that you want to smoke crack, I don’t want my kid to smoke crack.

—Sotomayor's bizarre homophobic rant on The Rubin Report. |
Thomas Jerome Harris, better known as Tommy Sotomayor (1975–), is an American men's right activist, Holocaust denier, and far-right pundit. Like Jesse Lee Peterson, Tommy Sotomayor is a self-hating black rightist who promotes narratives of black people being lazy and stupid, making him a useful idiot for white supremacists. Despite his current views, he once promoted black supremacist narratives about Jews and whites "financing the genocide" of the black community.[1]
Fun fact: Sotomayor claims he is of Panamanian descent,[2] though some of his critics in the black community dispute this.[3][4]
Homophobia[edit]
Sotomayor is an outspoken homophobe and anti-LGBT bigot all around. He compared gay liberals to crack addicts and homeless people in an interview with Dave Rubin, and several months after he was on The Rubin Report, expressed extreme disgust after a viewer broke the news to him about Dave being gay.[5]
Misogyny[edit]
Sotomayor claimed that black women are the most "vain and insufferable people on earth"[6] and that black women today are shaped like "monstrosities" and "A Bug’s Life characters".[7]
Sotomayor has been widely mocked online (mostly by leftists) for speaking aggressively to women, like when a waitress asked calmly and simply about his MAGA hat, to which Sotomayor had a mental breakdown and accosted the woman.[8]
Interview with Dave Rubin[edit]
Sotomayor was among many extremist and wingnut figures invited to speak on Dave Rubin's podcast The Rubin Report. Sotomayor was cordial and respectful during the interviews, though he did not know that Dave was gay when he was on the show. Several months after appearing on the podcast, a viewer broke the news to him by mentioning Rubin was gay. Sotomayor was shocked and had a mental breakdown, being completely disgusted by the notion that he was friendly with Rubin. His anger was so bad that he ended the stream he was on early.[9]
Racism[edit]
During his earlier days as a black supremacist voice, Sotomayor would frequently espouse anti-white rhetoric in his videos. However several years, he change his views about the white community and saw them as a "lesser evil" that the black community has a lot in common with. From this point, Sotomayor would become increasingly critical of the black community over the years.[10]
An example is when he referred to Black Lives Matter activists as "retarded"[11] and said that "Obama shouldn't try to ban guns. He should ban niggers".[12]
Antisemitism[edit]
Being a black nationalist, Sotomayor seems to subscribe to similar theories as the Black Hebrew Israelites and Garveyism, particularly when it comes to antisemitic material. He claimed that Jews could’ve walked out of the Holocaust but didn’t (for whatever reason, he doesn’t explain his bullshit).[13]
Sotomayor also platformed fellow antisemites like the infamous white nationalist and former KKK grand wizard David Duke. In an interview, Sotomayor asked Duke how he believes the Black Lives Matter movement started, to which Duke replied "Jews". Duke and Sotomayor also conversed antisemitic conspiracy theories that Jews push education to their community while they push drugs and alcohol to the white community and the black community.[13]
In 2024, Sotomayor made a 4 hour rant stating why he believes black supremacists and white supremacists (and regular white and black people in general) should join forces in their fight against Jews.[14]
Ban from YouTube[edit]
In 2019, Sotomayor earned a well deserved ban from YouTube and all his channels and accounts were banned by YouTube. He has since moved to other sites such as Rumble.
Feud with other racists[edit]
Sotomayor was mocked by many people on the right and the left, one notable example being a self-hating black man named Flakko.[15]
Perhaps Sotomayor’s most notable feud is with ardent black supremacist Tariq Nasheed, who confronted him behind the sets of DJ Vlad's studio and repeatedly called him "crispy" while putting a trophy in front of his face and saying "take your award".[16] This beef continued for several years, and at one point Sotomayor threatened to kill Nasheed.[17]
