“Im not black” Somalis be honest.

[Juke]

They probably don’t want to be considered black because of the preconceived opinions people have of being black, and the association with the AA community because they don’t want to be associated with people who are looked “down upon” butttt that’s just my two cents ‍♀

I know, I’m talking about in the west, I don’t really know much about the Bantu people in Somalia.

Dominicans are just niggas that can swim

They are...you wouldn't be able to tell the difference until they spoke.

Btw most White Americans are of German descent anyways.

If you were not Somali, and you saw these people, what race would u think they were?

You would think that they are Black Africans. Dont deny it. At most, you would think they are Arab-African mulattos.
This is how Somalis look standing next to an actual Arab, for the Banu Hashim crowd:

Now personally I dont care for the term black. But I understand that I (and every Somali) is black to society. You are delusion if you can’t accept this. Being allegedly mistaken for Indian and Arab one time doesnt change that you are seen as black.

Now why don’t Somalis see themselves as black, and why is the ‘blackness’ of Somalis in question?
This is because our ancestors saw THIS as black:

However, in the West, even THIS is considered black:

Somalis are therefore undoubtedly black. Its hard to swallow, I get it. But please get back to reality.

You have a few things mixed up we are opposed to the "Black" label itself which is 100% wrong Black IS NOT a RACE people who identity Black American are so mixed up racially and mentally due to brutal slavery they can't pinpoint where they're from exactly Senegal? Ghana? Ivory Coast? Cameroon? Nobody knows Asians and Native American fought the color labels of RED and YELLOW for years to the point that now if you use those terms your considered racist the reason WHITE is used is because it's a symbol of power 80 years ago ITALIANS and IRISH weren't considered white today they are. Somalis love their identity and culture were proud people how do you think we feel when were lumped into a people we share no lineage, language or culture with did you ever see any Somali getting angry at being called an AFRICAN? No. Because it's a fact MUSLIM? No. Because it's a fact. The fact that you can let an Irish or Italian that wasn't even considered white less than a 100 years determine what you are or supposed to identity as is the worst kind of mental slavery imo miss me with this bullshit

Secondly stop calling other black people apes. The truth is you can find primitive features in all races of humans. Nobody looks like an ape.
Racism is also haram in case some of you forgot.

Stop ruining the image of Somalis with the constant racism some of you spew online.

Yes!!!! Look at John Cena!!!! Bush looks like Coconut from Sonic the Hedgehog. Check it out. I called White people snow apes or cave monkeys.

I don’t mind being considered black, but I hate when I have to go against my personal individuality for someone else’s convenience. My cousin brought a really good point about this subject. He said Somalis would be more willing to embrace the label black and help with their causes is AAs actually tried to learn about the culture and respect our differences. But I’m not identify as an African American. Black, fine. Also, no I’m not doing to victim crap .

 

[kurobecky08]

But not all black or minorities treated the same and have different obstacles. Even whites are a hierarchy. Italians and Slavics will tell that Nordic whites think they’re better than them. Hilter wouldn’t accept Kim Kardashian. So while I’m black, I do get treated differently than other blacks and Latinos.
