Colourism in the somali community.

Where did it originate from? Dark Somali individuals men and women are disparaged and called dhuxul. I find dark women super sexy.
 
I think this is a phenomenon that has only kicked up due to European colonialism. The same applies for all the other nations of “coloured” people that were colonised. I’m sure as hell that the inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent were not always this insecure about their skin colour.

Pretty sure white people sealed their demise by coming up with a term like "coloured people".

Why give a label that inherently pits you as the abnormal outsider? :sheed:

Diana abusers started that term, normally Somali families have all skin shades from black to high yellow but Diana abusers Who are ghetto trash with inferiority complex started shaming the natural girls.

Lol strangely in pre-Islamic Arabia people with a white/reddish skin tone were deemed to be inferior as it was the skin tone associated with slaves (the vast majority of them being of Persian descent).

Times change bruh… Before we know it, the Somali look can be the next big thing. Don’t be surprised if self-induced receding hairline becomes a mainstream trend one day.

Somalis make fun of 'ugly features' not colour. I was watching sheeko sheeko the other day and they had the nerve to talk about 'light skin privileges' I immediately stopped listening to that nonsense. Light skin privilege kulaha. :drakekidding:

They might call a dark skinned person dhuxul, they might give him/her ironically cadde/cadeey.
 
Colourism isn't as rampant as some are trying to make it out to be. Nor have I witnessed people discriminate or look down on others based on it. The nicknames are like any other and are just a part of our culture
 
It started when the olive skinned Arab Sufi sheikhs came to the Somalis in the 8th century. The self hating Somalis then took on Arab names and changed their entire lineage because they were visited by a light skinned man. The foreign man that came to visit the Somali clans automatically became their biological father and Somalis to this day claim him as their ancestral father because of his light skin.

If a Congolese or a Xabashi brought them the religion, Somalis would not be Muslims today. They are dark skin or "Madow". The Muslim Arabs were the first light skins to reach Somalis.

the people who practiced the religion the longest (because they sort of were there for its installation and its founder was one of them) brought the religion to us so obviously we were more keen to accept it. warya we got it from the source :draketf:

and we had a connection with them via trade way before Muhammad
