Somalis and Arrogance

[Zardoz]

People say Somalis don't claim to be black, but it's also usually some non-Somali blacks (namely Caribbeans from my experience) that are the first to bring up facial differences and say "They're not black. They're Somali."

It's complicated.

The fukk you talking about? It has to do more with culture than anything. Yall nikkas never met a somali in your life.

I've met plenty of Somalis. Some of it might be cultural pride, but there's a racial element to it as well. Let's not kid ourselves.

Race in the Horn of Africa is complicated. Its usually featurist based. When you look like this

And the only other people you interact with is this

You tend to think think of yourself as differentIt happens all the time when a people dont interact with the world. Minor differences become huge to those who havent seen proper diversity. Most somalis I know who came from somalia and who were realise theyre black once they start dealing with cacs and they have their first nikka moment.

somalians were the c00ns in ancient times, they were the middle men of the east african slave trade, kinda like the role cape verdeans played

i once saw this big twitter fight about the egypt movie and a couple of somalians and ethiopians were claiming that they werent black they were dark skinned Caucasians (and so were ancient egyptians) , it was crazy, to them the rest of africa and therefore african americans are "bantus" and one dude was bragging about not having one drop of bantu blood in him and all kinds of other assorted white supremacist shyt

The Somalians in Columbus

They good people though and they stay in there lane. Columbus is full of Africans with Somilias making up the majority. Ethiopian women are beautiful alot of pretty African women in Columbus. Even the crackers be simpin.

so with youre logic white and black are also not a race

Arab and Hispanic are cultures. Being Arab has nothing to do with race.

The only Somalis that have Arab blood are those from around Mogadishu and the many who are originally from Yemen. Before the war, there were a lot of Yemenis that lived in the south and they by and large are just like regular Somalis.

For the most part we are NOT mixed... in fact, due to the clan structures most Somalis are inbred since the xenophobia doesn't just extend to white folk, black folk, other Africans, Arabs... it occurs right in between the Somali community. That's why Somalia has been in civil war for 25 years at its root. Clan politics.

And yeah, Somalis are racist but some of it is also innocent racism like with East Asians we call them "small eyes" in Somali (Indha Yar).
