That's exactly what I mean, I can't stay in a country where I am not accepted. I identify as black despite me not believing I'm black. This is because I have simple logic. I've seen on internet the people who tend to not see themselves as black are usually racist (I am racist but not openly), and bootlickers.
There was this picture of a somali girl holding up a sign reading "cadaanka xaarka iskama dhaqaan" and then there were hordes of somali guys attacking her for being "ungrateful to whites who gave her opportunities to live in the west". At that moment I lost all respect for these people, I realized we think the same way but our thought process is completely different.
These people see that blacks are treated inferior in the west, so in order to combat this they put down blacks and lick the boots of whites and other ethnicities to go up. If they were classified as brown I am 100% sure they wouldn't be pulling the same "ohh I don't see myself as a colour and don't want white racists labeling me".
I'm racist against all ethnicities except somalis, but I have a functioning brain. I know how this society works, by proudly claiming I'm not black. It will just make me seem like a confused individual who hates himself, which would not only tarnish my rep but of all somalis. I have no respect for cadaans and I'm only in the west to take advantage of the things here. I will identify as black if it means making my life easier and not making me look like an idiot.
