As a Somali I must say there are 3 types of Somalis.
1) You have the ignorant, arrogant tribal racists who don't consider themselves black (usually they are the blackest of all Somalis
) these people are most often from some country ass town in the middle of no where they herd camels and shyt, they have no sense of nationalism or pan African-ism, you can't even convince them that they are black, they are that ignorant and stuck in their ways.. they can't take any form of constructive criticism or advice. Because of their tribal alliances they are mostly in the government and good positions in Somalia. They are like this because of a lack of education in both religion and common education. I hate this group they make ashamed to be Somali. I hate it when I see that they followed us overseas.
2) Then you have the classic Siad Barre era Somalis who no matter where they are from they are civilized, respectable, educated and have no tribal or racial bias or arrogance at all. They where the back bone of Somalia during our prime. Most of them left Somalia and want nothing to do with it in its current political and tribal climate. You probably wouldn't notice them in a room because they keep a low profile.
3) Then you have your original Somalis people who are all about the culture and the land they mostly mind their own business and live a simple life. Most of these guys still live in their original home towns.
I'm guessing who ever you are complaining about is in the first category. I feel ya tho, these guys are the reason we live in the poorest country on earth. its a fukking disgrace. They are the reason I'm never going back.
