An observation

Is it just me or the left never used Somalis or north Africans as vitcims of racism ? For immigrants, they use Mexicans and Arabs. For police brutality they use African Americans and sometimes Islanders. For colonization, they use native American and Polynesians. I think because we have too big ego. African Americans and poc are dindu nuffin and Somalis are ididu sumthang but I shuld git away with cause iawesomeconquers. Also, is it me or Trump and Omar are kinda the same in the way they talk. Also, Republicans complain about her being rude, incestuous and racist and democrats complain about Trump for the same damn things. And they both criticized Our Lord and Savior all black people Obama. What do you think ?

:yacadiim: Let me put my conspiracy googles on.

Maybe America is gearing up for a new war in Somalia. Often times a prelude is vilification of a people and with Somalis hating them is very easy. :siilaanyosmile:Can they realistically dredge up much public sympathy? Me thinks not.

Apart from Minnesota or Columbus Ohio, Somalis are pretty lowkey in the United States, most Americans don’t know much about us
 
Exactly as it is all about money for them
If either really c

Wait, I've noticed they don't use East Asians that much either. If they do, they like to use South Asians. I've also had from Asians that the affirmative action for college acceptances from Latino and black women negatively affected their chances of being accepted, even though they got better scores. I do think the media plays up the race, at least here in the states.

I wonder why the right wing doesn't use precolonial Somalia's philosophy of Xeer to show the pros of captialism and free trade. I think it's the Muslim thing and most white Republican think colonization helped Africans to enlightenment, when the cushitic folks were doing just fine. Honestly, think they were just hatin'and wanted some justification for invading, I mean East Africa. Plus, they're hypocrites to be against open borders, but intervene in such countries' affairs with no positive results.

The right hates us because:

  1. we showed up cadaans in the colonial wars and later
  2. kicked out western agents post independence (NFD issue initially) and during the Cold war
  3. Reer Xamar black hawk down event
  4. Being Muslim and black in this period of time
The left hates us because:

  1. We aren't black (DNC usually throws the Somali question at black DNC executives who are familiar with how racist Somalis really are)
  2. We're ultra conservative that would spit on any body pierced tattooed liberal that would come near us
  3. We don't gel with our non Muslim community members so we can't be shown of as the perfect integration story
  4. The rare FMG issue that attention seekers keep bringing up to get their 15 mins of fame while making us look evil asf
  5. The hijab and the overall image of how we treat women
  6. Did I mention that we aren't black? DNC would hate to see different types of groups within the mono political culture they've built for AA's. Somalis would just screw that up.


Both the Democrats and Republicans will continue to shun us and so will the MSM since they'll see us as easy prey.

The only way to have our voices heard is by coming together as one and bundling our political donations together.

50,000 Geeljire donating $2,000 during some national, state or local elections would mean 100,000 million dollars loudspeaker.

For that kind of money we could have the most racist politicians sing the Somali national anthem and the most progressive wear hijabs.

Sure, we could spend that money on ourselves bit without any political influence others would just think they can bully us.

Next time some dumb geeljire inevitably does something idiotic then the national newspapers would first think to describe them as "AA" and never Somali.

Politicians won't ever bring us up whenever they need an enemy for their populist propaganda.

We might be able to remove the arms embargo if we threaten to go against one of the big lobbying interests there and leverage them to overturn the arms embargo.

Spend 100 million to advertise against a big public contractor and they'll spend a billion to carry out your demands.

Of course don't piss those you can't afford to.

Just a rant but we could do so much to fix our situation with our political standing in the US.

It's their hubris. It gets in the way of considering different philosophies from other parts of the world, particularly those very remote and dislocated from their own. And you know them, do as I say not as I do.
